Taraweeh Salah
**Taraweeh Salah will be offered every night after Isha Salah and led by our full-time Imam, Shaikh Mohamed Shaaban. Please refer to the attached Ramadan Prayer Schedule for all Salah times.
Parents who bring their children to the Masjid are asked to keep them quiet during Salah and to have them pray next to you, and to not leave them unattended. It is important to teach our children to respect the recitation of the Quran and those who are praying, either in congregation or alone. Please show respect to the Imam leading the Salah and be considerate towards those who are following him. We would all like to have a very positive experience and your cooperation is essential.**
Masjid Iftar
On Fridays and Saturdays, there will be a community Iftar in the Masjid and we invite everyone to join us. Please come with your families and enjoy Iftar with your fellow Brothers and Sisters. There will be a sign-up sheet in the Masjid if you would like to sponsor one of the Iftars.
As part of the Masjid’s green initiative and to demonstrate our commitment to this cause, we encourage everyone to prevent waste and refrain from using plastic bottled water and to instead use water from the 3 water fountains located on each floor of the Masjid. We encourage you to lead by example.
Parking
Please park in the designated parking spaces and do not inconvenience others. We share the upper and lower parking areas with our Polish Legion neighbors, so please be mindful of your behavior to avoid causing the Masjid undue problems. There is also ample parking in front of the Masjid on East Main Street as well as the side streets. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Masjid Fundraiser
During the entire month of Ramadan, the Masjid will once again be asking for your financial support. The Masjid relies entirely on your support to pay the bills and meet the needs of the community. There is great reward from Allah (SWT) for those who support the Houses of Allah. Please donate generously.
Student Letters
Attached is a student letter to school officials informing them about Ramadan and special accommodations that maybe required for students who will be fasting.
We ask Allah (SWT) to make this Ramadan a very fruitful one and to accept all our Ibadah. And to keep us all safe and give us good health. Ameen.
Jazak-Allah Khairan,
Masjid Al Rawdah
