All Happenings at WVMA

Jumma Mubaraka!

O Allah, shower Your infinite mercy and blessings upon our brothers and sisters who are answering Your call to perform Hajj. Protect them from all harm, ease their hardships, and allow them to complete all the rituals of Hajj with sincerity and devotion. Grant them the ability to return home with Hajj Mabroor, a Hajj that is accepted and rewarded.

For those of us who are not performing Hajj this year, Ya Allah, bless us to make the most of the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah. Help us to increase in our worship, our good deeds, and our remembrance of You.
