Missed our enlightening Ramadan Preparation Workshop last night? 

No worries! You can catch the recording and dive deep into the essence of fasting.

Here's a couple of topics that might be beneficial: 

How to make intention and practical tips to not forget 

What's recommended for suhoor and iftar

What is said about ghusl and garglind when fasting

How to make up missed fasts

Ustadh Tariq also speaks to how to spiritually preparefor the blessed month. He advises us to turn to the Book of Allah and build our relationship and reliance upon it. 

Ustadh also gently reminds us to try to limit our social media in Ramadan as "it takes us away from fully engaging with Allahthe Exalted".

Jump ahead to the spiritual part of the session to listen here.

Whether you're preparing for Ramadan or seeking a deeper understanding of fasting, this workshop recording is a must-watch!

Look for the Crescent Moon Tonight

When does Ramadan start?

The M.E.C.C.A. Center follows the position of the four schools of Sunni Islam that adhere to the Blessed Sunnah that requires the physical sighting of the crescent moon to determine the beginning of every month. 

Prophet Muhammad (Allahs blessings and peace be upon him) has said, 

Begin your fast upon sighting [the crescent moon] and end your fast upon sighting [the nextcrescent].

Whether Ramadan begins tonight or Monday night will be dependent on crescent sighting. If it is not sighted, then the first day of Ramadan will be Tuesday. 

If you would like to follow the reports, then check out crescentwatch.org, moonhotline.com, or other hilal committees.

In shaa Allah, we will inform our community once reports are confirmed so please stay tuned.
