Assalamo Alikom,

Please disregard the statement about the social gathering in the previous email. That sentence was from last year and did not get removed. Please send us your email if you want to be part of the preparation and we will add you to our internal mailing list. Also if you want to help don't forget the meetings on Friday between maghrib and Isha.

Jazakom Allah khairan

Assalamo Alikom wa Rahmato Allah wa Barakatoh,

We would like to inform you that our yearly "Share Islam Day" will be Insha Allah on Saturday April 20th between 5:30 pm and 7:30pm. Please invite your neighbors, coworkers and any non-muslims you know. Share Islam day is basically an open house event where we invite non-muslims to come see our masjid and our community. We tell them about Islam through a short (20 min) lecture and some display tables. We also offer them free material about Islam. Dinner is also served at the end of the event.

We will make invitation cards available at the Masjid, so please pick some up and use them to invite your guests. You can also download this invitation and print it out for your guests or simply send it to your email list. (after you click the link, just right click the image and select "save as..")

Due to the great effort and time consumption in the preparation for this day we will not have our monthly social gathering this Saturday but we ask everyone to come to the Share Islam day instead to greet and spend time with our guests, show them our Masjid and tell them about our religion.

We are currently meeting every Friday between Maghrib and Isha to prepare for the day and we need volunteers. If you have time and would like to help please come to our meetings.

Jazakom Allah khairan,
Masjid Al-Muslimiin

Assalamo Alikom wa rahmato Allah wa barakatoh,

Please consider this message directed towards you and don't say someone else will do this, or it's not convenient. So what if we inconvenience ourselves a bit for a good cause, help us raise money for the Masjid and we promise it won't cost you a penny, just a few moments and a change of habits.

Jazakom Allah khairan.

Assalamo alikom wa rahmato Allah wa brakatoh,

The mother of Sohail Siddiqui has passed away after a prolonged illness.

There will be a Janazah prayer today Sunday December 16 at 12:34pm, Inshallah.

It is strongly recommended that as many members of the Muslim community as possible should join the funeral procession and Salat ul Janazah, so we ask everyone to be part of this.

Assalamo alikom wa rahmato Allah wa barakatoh,

We would like to remind you that the Day of 'Arafa is tomorrow insha Allah. Remember that fasting the day of 'Arafa has a great reward.

Abu Qatada al-Ansari (Radhi-Allah-hu 'anhu) reported:
that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:
the fasting on the day of 'Arafa (9th of Dhu'I-Hijja) expiates the sins of the preceding year and the coming year.
[Sahih Muslim - Book #06 - Hadith #2603]

We are still collecting money for Eid celebration, we are $1500 short and we would like to encourage those who have not donated to do so.
If you would like to help in the preparation, we are meeting tomorrow between asr and maghrib to get everything ready, and right after fajr on Eid day.

Jazako Allah khairan and may Allah accept your good deeds.
