Celebrating A Free Syria

Congratulations to the people of Syria for achieving the impossible by the grace of Allah (swt). Truly, nothing is beyond the power of Allah! We look forward, inshAllah, to a free Palestine and the freedom of all oppressed people around the world. May Allah protect Syria, Bilaad al-Shaam, the heartland of the believers, as described in the words of Prophet Muhammad .

We will be celebrating this historical moment at WVMA this Friday after each Friday prayer by distributing sweets, inshAllah. Join us!

Jumma Mubaraka!

Ya Allah, we thank You for Your infinite mercy and power. We praise You for the freedom granted to the people of Syria, and we ask You to bless them with peace, stability, and justice. Protect them from any harm, and grant them leaders who uphold truth and fairness.
Ya Allah, we ask You to free all oppressed people across the world. Grant liberty to the people of Palestine, justice to the suffering in Sudan and Yemen, and relief to every soul enduring tyranny. Strengthen their hearts, unite them in faith, and guide us to be of service in their struggles.
Ya Allah, You are the One who answers prayers. We place our trust in You to bring light to every place shadowed by oppression and to grant dignity and freedom to all. Ameen.

 Indoor-Only Jumma Prayer at LGIC

Starting Friday, November 8th, LGIC will no longer be offering outdoor Jumma prayer for the time being. Moving forward, the prayer hall and the front portion of the room directly behind it will be designated for men, while the back half of that room and the auditorium will be reserved for women. We appreciate everyones understanding and cooperation with this transition.

Please be courteous as you drive through the neighborhood. Avoid speeding, and keep noise levels down while driving or walking through the neighborhood.
