Reminder for a Respectful Prayer Environment

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

Alhamdulillah, it has been heartwarming to see our community come together for Isha and Taraweeh prayers during this blessed month of Ramadan. Your dedication and presence at the masjid bring a true sense of unity and spirituality, and we sincerely appreciate everyone making the effort to join in worship.

As we continue to benefit from this sacred time, we kindly ask for your cooperation in ensuring a respectful and safe environment for all worshippers. We have received some concerns regarding excessive noise and children playing soccer in the lower level during Taraweeh, which has become disruptive for those praying and poses a risk to the younger children and babysitters in the same area.

While we absolutely encourage and welcome children at the masjid, we request all parents to supervise their kids and help minimize any disturbances. Our goal is to maintain a balance between fostering a love for the masjid in our youth while also ensuring a peaceful atmosphere for prayer. Please make sure that kids do not bring any soccer balls to play soccer in the lower area. This is hazardous to the younger kids and damages masjid property.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in making the masjid a space where everyoneyoung and oldcan benefit from the blessings of Ramadan. May Allah (SWT) accept our prayers, fasts, and good deeds, and grant us all barakah in this holy month.

Jazakum Allahu Khayran,
