Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Masjid,
"Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed, as guidance for humanity, with clear signs of guidance, and the criterion. Whoever among you witnesses the month should fast it...."
(Quran, 2:185)
Alhamdullilah we have entered into the holy month of Ramadan, this week. We are blessed to be able to fast during the day and enjoy the recitation of the Quran by Dr. Mostafa Ghazy, at night as he leads us in Taraweeh. This weekend we will be hosting our first community Iftar (details below).
We continue praying for our brothers and sisters in Gaza who have also entered the month of Ramadan, and we are in awe of their Iman and dedication, as they are also fasting by day and standing up for Taraweeh at night. Ya Allah grant us all safety and security and accept all our Ibada'at.

During Ramadan this year, Al Falah Center is pledging to stop plastic waste as much as possible; therefore, we encourage everyone to bring in their own water bottles to the masjid and fill them up at our water fountains and drink stations located outside of our restrooms. Al Falah reusable water bottles will also be available for purchase, inshallah.
Weekly Recap
Last weekend, Al Falah Center hosted Ustad Ashir Kirk from Tenenssee who came to give an excellent and practical tajweed lesson on Surah Fatiha. Also, just in time for Ramadan, Al Falah Youth Committee hosted a Welcome Ramadan event. The youth in the community came together to play games, socialize and get Ramadan ready. They then joined the others in praying Taraweeh for first night of Ramadan.
