The week ahead at SRVIC

Shawaal 6, 1445 | April 15, 2024

 

Dear SRVIC Community,
 
Eid Mubarak! As we bid farewell to this blessed month, we would like to thank each one of you for making this a beautiful and memorable Ramadan. 
 
We thank Qari Farid Osmani, Hafidh Ibrahim Bello and Hafidh Ehab Mundres for leading us in Taraweeh every night. Additionally, we thank Br Masud Qazen,  Sarim Mundres and Hafidh Yusuf Bello for the informative Khatiras.
 
We want to thank our dedicated volunteers who took time out of their busy schedules and nightly worship to help with Iftars, Suhoors, ushering during Taraweeh, supervising parking, and keeping our beloved center clean.
 
Thank you to all those who sponsored our Iftars and Suhoors and to our generous donors who help us attain our Zakat, operational, and Sadaqah goals so we can continue to offer services to our growing community.
 
Lastly, we want to thank Shaykh Hassan who played an integral role in our Ramadan and Eid programs. Our community is blessed to have him. May Allah (swt) reward him and his family abundantly.
 
May Allah accept your fasting, good intentions, Ibadah and Khidma to our Ummah. May we get to see another Ramadan together next year.
 
Jazakullah Khairan
