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 Thursday, March 23, 2023, with the first Taraweeh prayers of Ramadan on Wednesday, March 22, 2023, at 9:15 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’. Insha’Allah, Imam Ibrahim Gangat and Hafiz Mubeen Butt will be leading the Taraweeh prayers. This Ramadan we will be welcoming everyone (Sisters and Brothers including Children), however, please perform Wadu at home as there is a limited access to the washrooms due to the construction.
