We dedicate this publication to our sisters in Islam. This one is for you!
This is your FOMO-preventing guide to the most exciting Muslim gatherings happening across Ohio this month.
Let’s be real – nothing’s worse than that Monday morning scroll through Instagram only to discover THE community event of the season happened while you were binge-watching yet another show on Netflix. (We’ve all been there, no judgment!)
But not this month! We’ve rounded up four can’t-miss Muslim events in Ohio this May that deserve prime real estate on your calendar. From women-only spiritual gatherings to charity marathons and buzzing bazaars, there’s something for everyone.
Consider this your official “no excuses” guide to getting off the couch and into the community. Trust us, your social media feed (and your soul) will thank you!
1. AL-HIKMAH ANNUAL WOMEN’S CONFERENCE (May 10, Cleveland)
Ladies, remember the last time you had an entire day dedicated to spiritual growth AND fun with zero interruptions from kids asking where their socks are or partners wondering what’s for dinner? Yeah, it’s been a minute.
This sisters-only conference in Cleveland on May 10th is basically the spiritual spa day you didn’t know you needed. Featuring beautiful Quranic recitation competitions that will give you goosebumps and a talent show that proves Muslim women are far from boring (contrary to what some might think!), this event promises to be the ultimate day of faith, friendship, and female empowerment.
The organizers are also teasing a “special segment” they’re keeping under wraps. Mysterious! Maybe they’ve convinced Dua Lipa to perform in a modest outfit? (Probably not, but a sister can dream!)
Don’t wait: Register now at MuslimEventHub.com because nothing says “self-care” like a day with your sisters in faith!
2. CLEVELAND MARATHON FOR PALESTINE (May 17-18, Cleveland)
Remember when you said, “2025 is the year I get in shape”? Well, it’s May… how’s that resolution going?
Here’s your chance to finally put those dusty running shoes to good use AND help children in Palestine at the same time! The Cleveland Marathon for Palestine on May 17-18 lets you choose your challenge level – from “I occasionally jog to catch the bus” (5K) to “I’m slightly delusional but extremely dedicated” (Full Marathon).
Every mile you run directly helps provide medical care, food, and essential supplies to Palestinian children in need through the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. So when your legs start burning around mile 3, just remember: this temporary pain is nothing compared to what these kids face daily.
Not a runner? No problem! You can walk instead, or just show up and cheer loudly while holding signs with terrible puns like “Palestine is running through my heart!” (We don’t judge creativity here.)
Take action now: Join Team Palestine at MuslimEventHub.com because scrolling through social media won’t help Palestinian children, but your participation will!
3. SURDAWI BAZAAR (May 17, Cincinnati)
If your idea of shopping is mindlessly clicking “add to cart” at 2 AM, it’s time for an upgrade. The Surdawi Bazaar in Cincinnati on May 17th is retail therapy with actual human interaction – revolutionary concept, we know!
This isn’t just another event where you spend money on stuff you don’t need. It’s a vibrant marketplace where every purchase supports both local Muslim businesses AND education at Universal Muslim Academy. Talk about shopping with purpose! (Finally, an excuse to buy that fifth decorative plate you definitely don’t have room for.)
Between browsing unique handcrafted items and artisanal goods, you can stuff your face with delicious food from local vendors. Because let’s be honest – is it really a Muslim event if you don’t leave feeling slightly uncomfortable from eating too much? We think not.
Mark your calendar: Get all the bazaar details at MuslimEventHub.com and prepare your “I’m just browsing” face that absolutely no one believes!
4. MESSENGERS BEYOND BORDERS (May 23, Cleveland)
Ever wished you could share the beauty of Islam with others with the same eloquence and wisdom as the earliest Muslims? This inspirational event is your opportunity!
On May 23rd in Cleveland, respected scholars Mufti Hussain Kamani and Mufti Sultan Mohiuddin will illuminate the remarkable journeys of Mus’ab ibn ʿUmayr and Muʿādh ibn Jabal (RA) – the noble companions whose character and wisdom carried Islam’s message across borders long before modern technology.
This enlightening program goes beyond theoretical concepts to offer practical guidance on embodying and sharing our faith with confidence and authenticity. You’ll gain valuable insights from these historical examples that remain profoundly relevant in today’s world.
