Jumma Mubaraka!

O Allah, as we step into the month of Shawwal, we ask You to accept all that we have done in Ramadan and allow us to carry its blessings forward. Help us remain steadfast in worship, sincerity, and good deeds. Grant us the ability to fast the six days of Shawwal and reward us as if we had fasted the entire year.

O Allah, do not let our hearts drift after the discipline of Ramadan. Keep us firm in our faith, mindful of our prayers, and eager to seek Your pleasure. Fill our homes with barakah, our hearts with gratitude, and our actions with sincerity.

Ramadan and Eid Recap!

Alhamdulillah, what a beautiful and blessed Ramadan and Eid we shared! A heartfelt thank you to our incredible communityyour presence, support, and generosity made this month truly special.

This Ramadan, we were blessed to host three community iftars, several special iftars, community suhoors, and community qiyams at Saratoga Musalla. We also organized engaging programs for kids and youth, young professionals qiyams and suhoor gatherings, and enriching Saturday community talks. Every gathering was a testament to the love and unity that define WVMA.

A special thank you to Imam Albaraa Abdullah and Imam Hassan Lohos for leading us in Taraweeh prayers with such beauty and devotion. To our dedicated volunteers, your tireless efforts made every moment of Ramadan seamless and welcoming. To our iftar and suhoor sponsors, your generosity nourished both bodies and hearts. And to our donors, your belief in WVMA allows us to continue serving our growing community.

While we accomplished so much together, we have not yet reached our fundraising goals. If you havent had a chance to give, your support is still needed to sustain our programs and strengthen our efforts.

Jazakum Allahu Khairan for being part of this journey. Your kindness, compassion, and commitment to one another are what make WVMA a home for so many. May Allah accept from all of us and allow us to continue building and strengthening this beautiful community together!
