Based on the decision of the Fiqh Council of North America, 1st day of Ramadan for the year 2022/1443 AH is expected to be on Saturday, April 2, 2022. We wish everyone Ramadan Mubarak, and pray to Allah (SWT) to make this holy month a time of piety and good deeds. At Al-Umma Center we plan to offer programs, which we hope will enrich community members Ramadan experience. At this we are happy to share with the community details of two components of these programs
Ramadan Iftar Program:
Inshallah, the plan is to have Iftar in the Masjid on a nightly basis. We’re hopeful to have a sponsor for every night, and in the unlikelihood of not having a sponsor, we’ll have a potluck style Iftar for that specific night. Alhamdulillah, 16 Iftar nights have already been sponsored, leaving 13 Iftar nights available for sponsorship. For those who like to sponsor one Iftar night are requested to use the online reservation platform provided in the following link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScG2Lw1ZfGdX93GGMxAsFjo3dxNL-4mFrkahhSWZDZn2iG8jg/viewform?usp=pp_url
