Ramadan with WVMA!

Jumma Mubaraka!

Oh Allah as the last 10 nights of Ramadan approach us, allow to be of those who witness the night of power. Make us from those who benefitted from this month and gained the very best from it. Make us of those who have attained Your complete forgiveness and reward. Oh Allah answer our prayers, forgive our sins, and free our brothers and sisters in Palestine. Help all those who are oppressed around the world. Do not let this month leave us except that we see peace and justice restored. Do not let this month leave us except that You've answered our prayers, and written us to be from among the inheritors of the highest Paradise.

The Last 10: Days of Seeking Refuge

As we enter the final stretch of Ramadan, with just 10 days left, we spend these final days seeking out Allah's (SAW) mercy, forgiveness, and protection from Jahannam during these nights, hoping that we will attain the blessings of Laylatul Qadr.

We hope that our Ramadan programming will help you maximize your worship and complete the last 10 days strong, inshAllah!

Take advantage of this weekend, as some of our Ramadan weekend programming will conclude this week. This Saturday, we have our Eid Bazaar, which will feature lots of vendors, activities and free face painting for kids! While you shop, you can sign up your kids for crafternoons or the tatreez class. Additionally, you can drop in for the final session of Ramadan Saturdays with Sr. Ilham Malick and then stick around for our community Iftar at LGIC, but make sure you RSVP! There's also an Eid toy drive to collect toys, of your choice or from the wishlist, that will be distributed to refugee children by ICNA on Eid. After taraweeh prayers, Siraat will host their Qiyam at Saratoga Musalla. Ramadan Sundays will be with Br. Hisham Izzeldin, and that evening we will have our Special Needs Family Iftar.

Photo of the Week

Last Sunday, we hosted our New Muslim iftar with guest speaker Sidi Quran Hodge. With each gathering, we are reminded of the beauty of unity and support within our diverse ummah. As we came together to break fast, share stories, and pray together, the spirit of kinship flourished, creating a space where everyone felt welcomed and cherished. MashAllah, we celebrated 3 shahadas during the iftar. May Allah keep our new sisters firm in their faith and allow us to support them, serving as a means of guidance for others, inshaAllah!
