Ramadan Arts & Crafts - Lex Family Halaqa
Lexington Family Halaqa are organizing a Ramadan Arts & Crafts at Masjid Bilal before Iftar on March 8th and 15th at 5:30 PM InshaAllah. Children will be able to feel the Ramadan spirit and enjoy this months blessings together. It will also be a great time for adults to gather and socialize too! If youre already coming for Iftar, this will be a wonderful experience if you have time to come just a little earlier. See you there InshaAllah!
Parking Issue during Jumu'ah prayers
Masjid Bilal needs your help with the following:
- The first prayer (1 PM) is more crowded than the second (2 PM), with too many cars to park. If you don't need to attend the first prayer, please plan to attend the second prayer. This would make it easy for you to park while saving a few spots for those who need to attend the first prayer.
- If you can, please carpool to the Masjid so we can save a few more parking spots.
- Follow the directions of the volunteers helping with parking. They are there to help!
Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated!
Note: Masjid Door Unlocks Before Prayer Time
The Masjid doors automatically unlock a few minutes before the Iqama/congregation prayer times.
