Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahu Wa Barakatuhu.
We would like to inform you that the month of Dhul Hijja began as of Friday, August 2nd.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah swt for blessing us with the privilege of reaching this month. We seek His help to make the best use of our time during these blessed days.
Our Prophet (sav) said "There are no days greater and more beloved to Allah then the first ten days of Dhul Hijja. So, increase in them your declaration of the oneness of Allah (tahlil), your exaltation of Him (takbir) and your praise of Him (tahmid)". It is also reported that fasting on the day of Arafah will expiate the sins of the previous and upcoming years.
Please kindly note that Arafat will insha'Allah be next Saturday (August 10) and the first day of Eid Al Adha will be next Sunday (August 11).
The Eid prayer will insha'Allah be held at 8 AM next Sunday (August 11) at the indoor facility of the Techniplex located at 39 Churchill Avenue, Pleasantville, St. John's. A map is found at this link for location details and driving instructions.
When you come to Techniplex for the Eid prayer, please kindly remember to bring your own prayer mat and park in the designated parking area only. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at manal@manal.ca.
We look forward to seeing you next Sunday morning and wish you all in advance a very peaceful and blessed Eid.
Jazakum Allahu Khairun,
MANAL Executive Committee
