As-salamu Alaikum Warahmatullah
We are pleased to share the news of the starting of the month of Ramadan. The report of confirmed moon sighting has been received from Haramain (Makkah and Madina) and Egypt as well. This means the first day of fasting will be Saturday, March 1, 2025 in shaa Allah!
Taraweeh prayers start tonight! Isha Iqama will be 8:00 PM.
May Allah(SWT) accept our siyam, qiyam, and acts of worship. May Allah(SWT) grant us the ability to utilize every precious moment of the blessed month of Ramadan to engage in that which pleases Him. Ramadan Kareem to all.
