Ramadan 2020/1441

When the month of Ramadan begins, Muslims enter into a period of discipline and worship: fasting during the day, and praying throughout the day and night. During Ramadan, special evening prayers are conducted during which long portions of the Qur'an are recited. These special prayers are known as taraweeh

The word taraweeh comes from an Arabic word which means to rest and relax. The prayer can be very long (well over an hour), during which one stands upright to read from the Qur'an and performs many cycles of movement (standing, bowing, prostrating, sitting).

Ramadhan 1441

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته،

The Hilal Council of Canada received confirmed reports of sightings of the new crescent. Therefore the 1st of Ramadhan, 1441 will be on Friday, April 24, 2020 insha'Allah.

We pray Allah bless the entire Ummah, keep us all in His protection, remove this pandemic from the Ummah, give us Tawfeeq to do what is right and abstain from what is wrong and allow us to use this blessed month in doing as many good deeds as possible, 'Āmīn.

و السلام
