Dear Community Members,
 
Ramadan Mubarak! Alhamdulillah, as we continue this sacred month, we are grateful to celebrate our second Ramadan in our new premises. Ramadan began on March 1, 2025, marking a time of spiritual renewal, devotion, and community. May Allah accept our fasting, prayers, and charitable acts, and grant us strength and sincerity in our ibadah.
 
This Ramadan, ICEB is pleased to offer a variety of programs, prayers, and opportunities for spiritual growth. From Taraweeh and tafseer sessions to family-friendly events and community iftars, we invite you to join us in making the most of this blessed month. Below is a detailed schedule of Ramadan activities at ICEB.
