Welcoming Ramadan at SBIA
Due to several verifiable sightings of the new crescent on Friday, February 28, the first fast of Ramadan will be tomorrow, Saturday, March 1, insha Allah.
Taraweeh will begin tonight, Friday, February 28, after Salat-ul-Isha (8pm)
Taraweeh prayers will Insha Allah be led by Qari Zakarie el-Mekkaoui and Hafidh Hassaan Haq at Masjid al-Mustafa for 20 rakats following Salat-ul-Isha. We will be completing the Qur’an this Ramadan in Taraweeh, InshaAllah.
Childcare arrangements will be available each night. We encourage the community to use this facility in order to make the Taraweeh prayers a pleasant experience for all.
