The month of Zi Alhija 1446 AH, the Day of Arafa and the First day of Eid Aladha

Assalamu Alaikum brothers and sisters:

As you know by now, today Wednesday 5/28/2025 is the beginning of the month of Zi Alhija, the Day of Arafa will be insha Allag on Thursday 6/5/2025 and First day of Eid Aladha will be insha Allah on Friday 6/6/2025.

As the prophet PBUH had taught us, these will be the best 10 days of the entire year. We should utilize every moment to perform all kinds of good deeds (Takbeer, prayers, Tahajud, Quran recitation, fasting, charities, kindness to your parents and relatives, etc). These will surely increase insha Allah your scale of Hasanat in a magnitude that only Allah SWT knows how big it will be. May Allah SWT accepts all of our and your supplications (dua) all the times but in particular during the great day of Arafa. May Allah swt alleviate the pain and suffering of our brothers and sisters all over the world and in particular in Palestine. Ameen

We would like to inform you that we will perform the Eid prayer inside Masjid Al-Mustafa to minimize the risk of any last minute inclement weather changes. Please see attached flier for details. Given it will fall on a weekday, we will perform 2 prayers insha Allah.

We will be utilizing the first floor as the Main prayer area for the brothers and the Community Center (Basement) for the sisters and young children. Gym will be used as children prayer area (if needed).

We have secured additional lot for parking offered by our neighbor who owns the office building on 211 Schraffts Drive since he expect only half of his lots will be used at that day and time (and as long as we do not block other cars).

So in summary, we will have 3 parking lots to use (in addition to the street parking, if needed):

a.       Masjid Al-Mustafa parking space at 95 Schraffts Drive.

b.      Quran Institute parking space at 120 Schraffts Drive (across the street from the Masjid)

c.       The Office building parking space both at the front and the back at 211 Schraffts Drive (the next door neighbor on the left side after BMW dealership going up).

Please follow security team directions upon entering the building.

Eid Adha Mubarak to all of you and your families.
