Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Assalamu Alaikum,
As we are approaching the end of the holy month of Ramadan, we would like to share some reminders and new announcements with our community.
- For those who have not paid it yet, Zakatul Fitr is $10 per person and must be paid BEFORE the Eid prayer. You can pay your Zakatul Fitr through the donation boxes located at the mosque or through a member of the MANAL Executive Committee.
- Ramadan is a month during which all goods deeds, and especially charity, are rewarded more than other times. We urge all our brothers and sisters to donate generously to MANAL Fundraising Drive to support various infrastructure projects including the Muslim Cemetery and a Muslim Community Centre. Through your donations, you will Insha'Allah leave an ever lasting legacy which will benefit you and your families both in this world and in the hereafter.
- The first day of Eid will Insha'Allah be Sunday June 25th.
- There will be only one Eid prayer and it will be held at 8.30 AM on Sunday at the Jack Byrne Arena in Torbay (see attached map for the location and driving directions). Please note that there will be no Eid prayer service at the mosque.
- When you come to the arena for the Eid prayer, please make sure that you park in the designated parking area only.
- Right after the Eid prayer, we will Insha'Allah have a community Meet and Greet at the Arena. There will be complimentary tea, coffee, juice, cookie service at designated serving stations. You are also welcome to bring your own breakfast and share with others. Please note that only dry finger food will be allowed to maintain the cleanliness of the location.
- We will also have a Kids Party at the Arena, right after the Meet and Greet. At around 10 am we will set up bouncy castles for the kids to enjoy for 2 hours. Parents are required to stay and supervise their children.
Taking this opportunity, we would like to thank all the volunteers who helped us to maintain the mosque and manage MANAL’s operational activities during the holy month of Ramadan.
May Allah (swt) bless our community and the whole Muslim ummah with a happy and peaceful Eid.
Jazakum Allahu Khairun,
MANAL Executive Committee
