'Itikaf,Khatim,Zakat Fitr! Support your Masjid!
As Salaamu Alaykum Warahmatullah dear beloved Community,
: :
[When the last ten days of Ramadan entered, the Prophet used to tighten his belt, make his night alive and woke up his family.]
The reason why the Prophet used to exert so much energy in pushing his all mechanisms of spiritual connectivity to Allah, and we should follow suit, is because he was seeking the forgiveness of Allah from all of his previous sins. The following Hadith explains it.
: " ". (( )) .
The Prophet () said, "Whoever performs Qiyam during Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree), with Faith and being hopeful of Allah's reward, will have his former sins forgiven."
There is an amazing amount of reward that one must understand to find in the night of decree. Why? Because this the actual night in which the first of revelations of the Quran came to our beloved (). The following is a couple of verses to demonstrate that:
.
(Indeed, We sent it down on a blessed night, for We always warn against evil. On that night every matter of wisdom is ordained)
Don't miss out on the reward of consistent good deeds!
The Prophet SAWS said: "The most beloved deed to Allah is the most regular and constant even if it were little". (Bukhari)

Ramadan provides an opportunity for the expiation of our past sins, a chance to maximize our rewards and seek forgiveness. During the last ten nights, the potential for gaining immense rewards is substantial.
We hope you will consider including ISB in your prayers, as well as in your donations during these special nights.
During our annual Ramadan Fundraising Night we reached 40 % of our Ramadan goal. We appreciate your generous donations and contributions.
We need your help to reach our goal! ISB relies on the generous donations of our community to continue to provide programs, education, and good facilities for our community.

As Ramadan draws to a close, let's remember the importance of Zakat-ul-Fitr!
Who should pay?
Every Muslim, regardless of age, has food over their needs. Don't worry if you can't pay yourself, the head of your household can help.
Who receives it?
The poorest among us, struggling to feed their families. Your Fitrana donations to ISB will make a real difference. Let's spread the joy of Eid together!
Zakat-ul-Fitr (Fitrana) is $15 per person.
The last 10 nights starts Saturday, April 30th. Tahajjud prayers will be prayed at both ISBCC in Roxbury and at ISB in Cambridge from 2 am - 4 am.
