Welcoming the month of Ramadan

Praise belongs to Allah who guided us to His praise  

Dear Community Members Assalam-O-Alaikum WRB

Alhamduliallah we will begin the holy month of Ramadan on Tuesday, April 13, 2021 with the first Taraweeh prayers of Ramadan on Monday, April 12, 2021 at 9:45 PM. We pray to Allah to accept everyone’s fast. ‘And praise belongs to Allah who appointed among those roads His month, the month of Ramadan’. InshaAllah, Imam Ibrahim Gangat and Hafiz Mubeen Butt will be leading the Taraweeh prayers. Due to the stay-at-home orders, we can only have limited numbers of attendees in the building. Daily registration is required for the prayer along with the mandatory self-assessment screening. We will be live streaming the taraweeh prayers on MSOG Facebook page. 

InshaAllah we are again running Ramadan Food Hamper drive at our Masjid. However, we are only accepting the following items. Please bring one or more of the following items to the Masjid and place it in the bins located at Meezan School Entrance under the canopy.  

1. All Purpose Flour 
2. Rice and Salt

Muslim Society of Guelph is extending help to any needy family in the community. If you are or know anyone who is in need of basic food items, kindly let us know and we will contact them for their needs. InshaAllah we will do our best to accommodate as many needy as possible.  

InshaAllah there will be a daily short (10-12 minutes) program before the iftar by one of our Imams. Kindly visit our facebook page to take benefit from our Imams’ as we are unable to hold Iftars together. InshaAllah use this opportunity to connect with your masjid and your brothers n sisters in Islam. 

• I’tekaaf begins before Maghrib on Sunday, May 2, 2021: Beginning of last ten nights 
• Khatamul Quran will be on Sunday May 9, 2021 Insha’Allah on the 28th Night of Ramadan. Dua will be live streamed – if the situation changes and we are allowed to hold at 30% capacity, we will communicate with you and open up the registration for more people in person. May Allah make it easy so we can enjoy the blessing of Ramadan and once again break fast with each other.
