Ramadan Program

Assalamu 'Alaikum dear brothers and sisters and Ramadan Mubarack!

In Addition to the evening program, we will inshaAllah have daily Asr and Fajr Qu’ran recitation. Enclosed is a detailed copy of the Ramadan program as well as the Prayer Schedule and the daily topics/ lecturers. Please note that we might make slight adjustment to the program when necessary.

As a reminder, anyone who cannot attend the entire program, should park outside the Masjid as we will NOT stop the program in order to move cars because it interrupts the entire congregation.

Community Iftar gatherings will InshaAllah be every day that is sponsored. A sign up sheet is posted at the Masjid and we encourage you to sponsor an Iftar. The MAH is seeking volunteers for clean up, parking organization and watching the kids. We encourage families to sponsor an Iftar during other evenings. In such a case, providing for clean up, parking organization and watching the kids will be the responsibly of such a family. There will be NO pot-luck style Iftars.

 

I want to remind you and myself of what our beloved Prophet saws said:   regarding this glorious and very blessed month of Ramadan.

Ibn Khuzaima reported on the authority of Salman al-Farisi that the Prophet (pbuh) delivered a Khutba on the last day of Sh'aban saying: "O people: You are about to enter the shadow of a great blessed month. A night therein is better than a thousand months. Allah (swt) made fasting during this month an obligation and encouraged people to perform extra prayers du11ring its nights. Seeking nearness to Allah (swt) through a good deed would be considered like performing an obligatory act of worship. In turn, performance of an obligatory act of worship during this month would be rewarded seventy times more than during any other month. It is the month of patience, and the reward for patience is Jannah. It is the month of comforting others, and the month during which believers would enjoy plentifulness. The Prophet (pbuh) went on to say:" Make sure you frequently do four things, two of which would please your Lord and the other two are indispensable for your salvation in the Hereafter. As for the two things that would please your Lord, they are: testifying to the oneness of Allah (swt) and seeking repentance. And the other two are: asking Allah the favor of entering Jannah and seeking refuge in Him from the Hell Fire."

And here is another Hadith worth keeping in mind, InshaAllah. The Prophet said, "Whoever does not give up false statements (i.e. telling lies), and evil deeds, and speaking bad words to others, Allah is not in need of his leaving his food and drink (fasting)." Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 8.83, Narrated by Abu Huraira
 
We Thank Allah swt for all the blessings and ask for forgiveness of all our sin. We pray that Allah (SWT) give us all what is good & keep us away from all from what is bad and give us peace & faith in this world & in the hereafter. We pray to Him (SWT) to let our affairs be free from care & make them profitable & give us means of livelihood from our share & from where we have no expectation. Ameen.
