Who are you when no one is watching?

Not the version the world sees. The one Allah sees in the quiet moments. Ramadan Murabbi is a five-week mentorship, in a small cohort with a qualified mentor, for people who want Ramadan to change who they are, not only their routine.

  • 1,200+students mentored
  • 5weeks, before, during and after Ramadan
  • ~20people per cohort

The pattern

Most people want a better Ramadan. Few experience it.

Every year, Muslims enter Ramadan with good intentions and see the same shape: a strong start, inconsistent middle weeks, a powerful final stretch, then a quiet collapse after Eid.

The issue is rarely desire or sincerity. More often it is the lack of structure, accountability and sustained support. Murabbi was designed to close that gap.

What happens in Murabbi

This is not a lecture series or a self-paced course. It is showing up, reflecting and growing, together: goal-setting for Qur’an, prayer, dua, charity and personal growth; daily reflection on private struggles and wins; a partner for accountability; live sessions with mentors and teaching assistants; and micro-challenges that keep the month alive.

The Murabbi promise

Three outcomes

  1. Enter Ramadan with purpose

    Know why you fast, pray and give, not only what you do.

  2. Walk through it with support

    You are not alone in the quiet struggles.

  3. Leave changed

    Habits, priorities and character that last beyond Eid.

“Murabbi has helped me make, inshallah, new lifelong brotherhoods, interact closer with one of my favourite scholars, and shape my goals for Ramadan while being accountable for them. I highly recommend this programme for anyone wanting to make the most of their Ramadan.”

Ahmed Amin, Murabbi student

“To have someone who guides you and is there for you when you face any challenge in achieving your goal… it was what pushed me to take more advantage of the limited days than I could have alone.”

Questions

Before you apply

Cohorts meet twice a week during Ramadan, with a session before and one after. Dates for the next cohort are announced ahead of Ramadan; applying early secures your place.

Who is it for?

Adults and young people, from 13 up, who want their best Ramadan yet with a mentor and a group. No prior Islamic knowledge is needed; the programme meets you at your level.

Is it all online?

Yes. Live sessions run on video, and each group communicates between sessions in a private Telegram group.

Are brothers and sisters in the same group?

No. Groups are brothers-only and sisters-only, for comfort and because some of what is discussed is gender-specific.

What if I miss a live session?

The live sessions are optional but strongly recommended. Nobody is penalised for missing one, and notes are shared in the group. Sessions are not recorded.

Can I share a seat with a family member?

No. Murabbi serves each participant individually, in a confidential space, so every seat is one person.

Do I keep my group after Ramadan?

Yes. New bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood are one of the aims, and you are encouraged to keep them.

Is there a scholarship?

Yes. Scholarships are available on request; ask when you apply.

What is the refund policy?

Once your application to the programme has been approved, the fee is not refundable.
