Salam Alaikum All,

May Allah accept our good deeds during Ramadan. Here're this week's announcements.

Hadith Of The Week - Fasting 6 days from Shawwal (This month)

Thawban reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, Fasting the month of Ramadan is like ten months of fasting and fasting six days of Shawwal is like two months of fasting. Thus, they are like fasting for a year.
