Muharram Newsletter

Once again the Holy month of Muharram is upon us and we pray that the Almighty Allah (SWT) accepts our A'amaal and Dua's in our remembrance of Imam Hussain (AS) and the sacrifice in Karbala, and grant us the opportunity to mourn together and visit our Imam (AS) soon.

Based on current moonlighting forecasts, the first night of Muharram is expected to be on Saturday, July 6th.

Program details for the first 12 mights of Muharram are included at the bottom of this circular.
