Day 19

IMB Pray

Day 19

Albanian Ghegs are a people group living throughout Europe with varying levels of devotion to their Islamic faith. Some strictly observe the Ramadan fast, some don’t change their lifestyle in the slightest, and many give an appearance of devotion while secretly breaking the fast.

Pray for lost Albanians to realize that their outward actions—like self-denial and ritual washing—matter less to God than a broken and contrite spirit. Pray for the believing Albanians to find creative ways to share that true cleansing only comes through the blood of Jesus Christ.

Thank you for praying

Thank you for joining us in prayer for Muslims during Ramadan. As we hear of updates, we will share them in the "Answer to Prayer" section on the app.

Day 31

Muslims conclude the last day of Ramadan with Eid al-Fitr (the Festival of Fast-Breaking). Entire neighborhoods may come together over a huge feast, complete with fireworks and gifts, to celebrate their endurance and generosity toward others during Ramadan. However, when life goes back to normal after the feast, many Muslims report feeling sad or disappointed. Some hoped their fasting would yield a felt nearness to Allah, but instead they feel just as distant as they did before Ramadan began. Pray for God to use the days following Ramadan to steer Muslims toward truth. Ask God to put believers in their path who can share the gospel and invite them into eternal assurance of salvation.

Day 30

As Ramadan comes to an end, it is tradition for children to return home and ask their parents for forgiveness for wrongs they have committed. Pray that as they seek to honor their earthly fathers, they will see the living God as Father. Pray for the parents approached by their children. Ask God to use this tradition to help them think about the ways they have fallen short of Allah’s holiness and whether they can obtain guaranteed forgiveness from him. Pray that this leads them to the Word and a believer who can share how their sins can be forgiven.
