Choose a phase below to explore its story, records and lessons.
Six months of structured planning and alignment: action-plan meetings, Centres Connect, a three-day preparation meeting, and Istiqāma introduced as the shared theme.
Worship, learning, service and belonging in action across 21 centres; youth engagement stronger than previous years.
Every centre has its own local reality, yet challenges are shared. Make experience-sharing a regular practice: from silos to one MAC.
Istiqāma connected preparation and delivery while centres adapted activities to local communities.
Ramadan delivery included prayers, Quran circles, youth activities, family nights, iftars and community service.
Plan review calls for regular experience-sharing, earlier planning and stronger evidence of impact.
From August 2025 to January 2026, MAC strengthened centre readiness through structured planning, clearer alignment and practical local preparation, giving centre managers six months to review priorities, identify operational requirements and build capacity for Ramadan delivery.
Three focused views of the original preparation narrative.
Readiness varied. Some centres had established planning routines and clearly assigned responsibilities; others worked within shorter timelines or with more limited capacity. The phase underscored the value of giving teams enough time to understand expectations, assign accountabilities and prepare for the scale and pace of Ramadan.
Meeting counts span the full Ramadan cycle; the hours breakdown describes preparation.

Plan-review meetings helped centre managers understand what worked, what varied across centres and what should improve. Managers shared experience in managing programs, facilities, volunteers, donors and community relationships, surfacing common challenges and different approaches used across MAC.
Every centre has its own local reality, yet centres face many similar challenges. Sharing what worked and what did not helps managers avoid repeating mistakes and strengthen MAC’s work.

It is a three-phase cycle for MAC centres: prepare before Ramadan, deliver programs during Ramadan, then review what worked and what needs to change.
Preparation: Aug 1, 2025 to Jan 31, 2026. Implementation: Feb 14 to Mar 20, 2026. Plan review: from Apr 1, 2026 (the dashboard source was updated Sep 18, 2026). The management-meeting record uses a wider Feb 1 to Mar 30 window for its “during Ramadan” category.
Centres recorded 47 management meetings and 111 scheduled hours for alignment and planning. Work included action plans, khatibs, volunteers, youth promotion, communications, donor communication and the shared Istiqāma theme.
The report describes prayers, Quran circles, reflections, youth activities, family nights, iftars, camps, competitions, food drives and last-ten-night programs. These examples describe types of activity, not a count of sessions.
The program record lists 249 unique programs across 18 centres: 74 before Ramadan and 175 during Ramadan. Separately, the dashboard reports 2,174 recurring sessions. A unique program and a session are different measures.
In the 18-centre program table, 202 programs are classified as free, 46 as paid and 1 is unclassified. A separate narrative states 47 paid programs. The FAQ uses the table’s classification and does not assign the unclassified program to either category.
Istiqāma means steadfastness on the straight path. It was the shared Ramadan theme, expressed through khutbahs, khatiras, youth activities and family programs. The theme review covers 17 centres; it is a different roster from the program and prayer tables.
Examples in the theme review include Alrawdah’s multilingual slogan, BIC’s Ramadan Jumu‘ah khutbahs and Fajr reminders, Kitchener’s daily videos and quizzes, and RCIC’s daily khatiras and youth-led reflections. These are examples, not a ranking.
The prayer and volunteer table lists 22,340 Friday attendees across 21 centres and 830 Ramadan volunteers when its centre rows are added. The narrative separately estimates approximately 885 volunteers. These two volunteer figures come from different parts of the source material.
Yes, in the centre table the 20 centres with submitted Fajr values total 2,460 attendees at the start and 2,985 at the end, an increase of 525. A separate chart and callout show 2,520 at the start, including a different BIC figure. The centre-by-centre view uses the table values.
Centres have different local circumstances but many shared challenges. The review recommends making experience-sharing a regular part of managers’ meetings so centres can learn from one another.
The Plan review page lists shared fundraising commitments for CIIC, MAC Halton School and MAC Kitchener Masjid. It also records examples of support: MAC Toronto Centre’s fundraising events, Kitchener Masjid’s shared learning resources and BIC’s IT and online-donation practices. These are commitments and examples, not verified fundraising totals.
The dashboard combines different sources and rosters. The program table covers 18 centres; the prayer/volunteer table covers 21; the theme review covers 17. Some narrative figures also differ from table totals. Keep each figure with its stated source and scope rather than combining unmatched rows.
Some centres use a full name in one record and an acronym or shorter name in another. The explorer links records only when the dashboard explicitly matches them. “Not linked” means the metric is not connected in that record, not zero.
