In these final 10 nights of Ramadan, a time of immense mercy and answered prayers, lets raise our hands in dua for our brothers and sisters in Gaza, seeking Allahs mercy and justice. The ceasefire in Gaza has been broken, and theyare facing relentless aggressionbombardment, and massacres. Ya Allah, grant them protection, strength, steadfastness and relief.
Do not forget them in your prayers.
Strengthening Our Resolve in the Last Nights of Ramadan
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As we enter the 23rd night of Ramadan, we are reminded that the best of deeds are those done with consistency and sincerity. This is our opportunity to renew our intentions, strengthen our connection with Allah, and maximize the remaining days of this sacred month.
The Prophet said, Verily, the (results of) deeds done, depend upon the last actions. Let us strive to end Ramadan stronger than we began, increasing in prayer, supplication, and acts of kindness.
We witness the hardship of our brothers and sisters around the world, from Gaza to Sudan, and we are called to action through our faith. Our Ramadan FoodShare initiative, featured on CBC Toronto, saw youth and children come together to pack food hampers for refugee families from Gaza and Sudan. This is the spirit of Ramadan in actioncompassion, generosity, and unity.
In this sacred month of Ramadan, we urge you to fulfill your Islamic duty by paying your Zakat and offering Sadaqah through Zakat House of Canada. Your compassion will not only help those in need but also strengthen the bonds of our Ummah, creating sustainable solutions for our local communities. Donate today and let your generosity be a reflection of your faith and devotion.
As we anticipate the upcoming federal elections, we urge our community to actively engage and participate in large numbers. It is our collective responsibility to support principled candidates who demonstrate a genuine commitment to issues that matter to our Ummahthose who uphold justice, dignity, and fairness for all. By participating activelywhether through volunteering, sharing information, or casting your ballotyou amplify our collective voice. May Allah (SWT) guide us to make choices that benefit our community and the society at large.
As we enter these last ten nights, may we be of those who seek Laylatul Qadr with sincerity, may our fasts and prayers be accepted, and may we be counted among those who stood in support of our brothers and sisters in need. Ameen. May Allah (SWT) grant our Ummah relief from oppression and occupation, bestow honor upon His servants, and bless them with victory and lasting peace. May He strengthen our faith, unite our hearts, and guide us to uphold justice and righteousness.
"Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best guardian."
Your brother,
