The NEMA Ramadan Prayer Diary 2026 is here.

Another Ramadan begins.

Across Nigeria, over 100 million Muslims will start thirty days of fasting, prayer, and spiritual seeking. Before dawn, families will rise for suhoor. At sunset, they will gather for iftar. Mosques will be full. Hearts will be open. And a single question will quietly drive the entire month: “Will God accept me?”

We believe the Church has something to do in this season — and it starts with prayer.

This is our third year walking this road together.
In 2024, we released SHAFĀ’AT — the Arabic word for intercession. That year, we prayed through selected Nigerian cities, lifting up specific places by name and asking God to move in each one. In 2025, we went deeper with BEYOND THE CRESCENT — learning and praying through Islamic doctrines and beliefs, equipping the Church to understand the faith of our Muslim neighbours and to intercede with knowledge.

This year, the Lord laid something simpler and more profound on our hearts: NŪR — Light. Each year, the journey has grown. From cities, to doctrine, to the very nature of God Himself. We’re not just praying louder, we’re praying deeper.

Why “Nūr”?
Nūr is one of the most beautiful words in the Muslim world. Parents name their children after it — Nūrudeen, Munīrah, Anwar. The Qur’an calls God the Light of the heavens and the earth. The longing for light is already there.

And Jesus said simply: “I am the light of the world.” That’s where this year’s prayer bulletin resonates, at the intersection of that longing and that promise.

What’s Inside
Thirty days. Five movements. One journey of light.

The Spark — praying for Muslim hearts to encounter God personally
The Flame — praying for families, women, youth, children, and leaders
The Lamp — praying for new believers, discipleship, and the Church’s role
The Dawn — praying for unreached peoples, cities, conflict zones, and new access
The Blaze — praying for workers, tools, and a generation rising to carry the light forward

Each day includes a Scripture, a window into Islamic life and belief, a Gospel reflection, and prayer points — all written with warmth, respect, and genuine love for the people we’re called to reach.

A Remarkable Moment
Here’s something worth pausing over.
This year, Ramadan and Lent begin on the same day. Two of the world’s largest faith communities will enter seasons of fasting, prayer, and spiritual hunger simultaneously. Muslims crying out for guidance. Christians seeking God’s face. On the same day. At the same time.

That’s not coincidence. That’s an invitation.
What might God do when so many hearts are open at once? We want to be part of finding out.
