Ramadhan Circular 1446
Ramadhan Circular 1446
O Jabir! Whoever during the month of Ramadhan, fasts in its days, stands up for prayers in parts of the night, controls his desires and emotions, puts a rein on his tongue, keeps his eyes down, and does not injure the feelings of others, will become as free of sins as the day he was born.
-6th Imam(A.S)
Once again the Holy month of Ramadhan is upon us and we pray that the Almighty Allah (SWT) accepts our A'amaal and Dua's in this month.
Guest Speakers
We're blessed to have our own resident aalim, Sayyid Muntadher lead us through the programs during the first half of Mahe Ramadhan. Sheikh Abbas Ismail will join us during the second half of Mahe Ramadhan. We look forward to the opportunity to learn and benefit from their knowledge during this holy month Insha'Allah.
