In this Ramadan '26 Learning Circle, Shaykha Ieasha Prime and Dr. Rania Awaad focus on honoring the body as an amanah and rediscovering the Prophet’s ﷺ balanced approach to worship, rest, and self-care. We learn how to be productive this Ramadan with intention, compassion, and balance.

Discover the Prophet ﷺ’s balanced approach to worship, rest, and self-care. This session explores how Islam encourages caring for our physical and spiritual well-being, addressing burnout, sleep deprivation, and the pressure of “Ramadan productivity.” We learn how to redefine a truly productive Ramadan through balance, intention, and compassion.

Ieasha Prime is the Director of Women’s Programming at Dar al Hijrah Islamic Center in Virginia and the founder of the DC Muslim Women’s Conference. She converted to Islam more than 20 years ago, after serving as a Youth Ambassador to Morocco and Senegal. There, she developed a thirst for knowledge that led her to sit at the feet of some of the top Islamic Scholars of our time and learn from them. After having participated in several circles of knowledge in the US, Ieasha decided to pursue religious studies abroad. She studied Arabic and the Quran at the Fajr Institute in Cairo, Egypt. Later, she moved to Hadramaut, Yemen, and enrolled in Dar al Zahra, an Islamic University for Women. There, she studied Aqeedah, the Quran, Hadith, Arabic, Jurisprudence (Fiqh), Islamic law, the Purification of the Heart, and other religious-related subjects. She has received several scholarly licenses (ijaza). The work she is most committed to and enjoys has been developing Islamic programming, Islamic Studies curriculum, and Rites of Passage programs for youth and adults. The majority of her life has been as an educator and activist. She is most passionate about combining Islamic studies, cultural art, activism, and service to train leaders to rise above whatever challenges stand in their way and those of the community they serve. In addition to her full-time work, she is the co-founder and Executive Director of Barakah INC, an organization committed to training Muslim women in traditional Islamic sciences with a focus on modern application. Sister Ieasha is best known for her participation in the National Women’s March and for the courses she teaches on traditional knowledge, the challenges of race and gender in the Muslim community, and Spirituality. Ieasha Prime is a proud wife and mother of three children.
