Taraweeh & Dua Location:

We will be using the brand-new facility to have this year’s Khatm. We are very excited about this development and want to do a soft opening for this blessed occasion. Given that the facility is still under construction please pay close attention to the following reminders:

Dress in layers and wear warm clothing.
- Heating is available in the hall but just in case it is not fully functional please have warm clothes.
- Refreshments after the Dua and Witr prayer will be outside upstairs where it will be cold.
Bring prayer rugs
- Currently there is no flooring in the hall; We will lay out rugs.
- To be comfortable during the evening, consider bringing your own prayer rugs.
Where do I put the shoes?
- There are no shoe racks in the hall or outside the hall.
- We are expecting a large crowd which will be a tripping hazard if there are too many shoes on the floor.
- Volunteers will be handing out bags for everyone to hold their shoes and keep with you.
- This will alleviate the problem of having to find the correct pair amongst several on the ground.

Refreshments:
We will be serving refreshments after the dua and Witr Salah. Patrons are welcome to bring in a dish to share with the community. There is absolutely no obligation in that. If you plan to bring in a dish then here is a basic guideline:

What to bring?
- Feel free to bring any refreshment – finger foods are highly recommended.
- Bring items which don’t get spoiled without refrigeration.
How much to bring?
- Bring quantity that feed 10 – 15 people
- Please, split the quantity in separate containers for men and women
- Please, use disposable containers for items

Safety:
Safety is always at the forefront for all the events and our top priority. This remains a construction site; we want all our patrons to be always aware of their surroundings.

Please pay close attention to the posted signs and no trespassing in blocked off areas.
We expect lots of kids and youth to be present at the Masjid, be watchful while parking and driving through the parking lot during evening and late night hours
Park only in the designated areas and do not block space for emergency response vehicles
Parents: Continue to remind your kids about the safety

Parking:
To ensure that parking and traffic concerns remain under control, here are specific steps that we are implementing:

We are hiring SJPD officers
- To monitor and guide traffic on Ruby Avenue
- Constant patrol inside the parking lot to ensure cars are parked legally and not blocking access.
- Please, take the time to thank the fine police officers providing this service!
Inside the facility parking
- Please come early to take advantage of the inside parking.
- Only park in designated parking areas. Be mindful of the parking signs.
- We highly encourage everybody to carpool.
- Park correctly and within the space.
Street parking
- Always park legally and never block access to a neighbor’s driveway
- Be aware and watchful of pedestrian traffic
- There is available parking on Tully and requires 5 minutes’ walk to the Masjid
