In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Assalamu' Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
We would like to share important information with our community as part of Eid Al Adha celebrations.
MANAL is pleased to announce that the day of Arafah will be Thursday June 5th and the first day of Eid will Insha'Allah be Friday June 6th.
There will be two Eid prayers - the first prayer is scheduled to begin at 6:15 am and the second prayer to begin at 9:00 am. Both prayers will be held at Suleman Dawood Mosque (New Masjid) at 135 Torbay Road. Please see the map below for the location.
Note there will be NO Eid prayer at Masjid al-Noor.
When you come for the Eid prayer, please follow these requirements:
* Eating, drinking, smoking and distributing treat/snack bags are not allowed inside the prayer area
* Everyone must have wudu at home and bring his/her own prayer mat
Carpooling is recommended to avoid traffic congestion. Parking is allowed ONLY at the designated parking lots. Please follow directions from the RNC and MANAL Volunteers when parking.
Eid Al Adha commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to Allah (SWT). The celebration provides Muslims an opportunity to contemplate the values of sacrifice, patience, submission, obedience and steadfastness in their faith. As per traditions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), fasting during the first nine days of Zul-Hijja is a highly-recommended and highly-rewarded act.
MANAL would like to thank all the volunteers who help us maintain the two Mosques (Masjid Al Noor and Masjid Suleman Dawood) and manage MANAL's operational activities throughout the year.
May Allah (SWT) bless our community and the whole Muslim ummah with a happy and peaceful Eid Al Adha.
JAK,
MANAL Executives
