Asalaamu alaykum everyone!

Due to no sighting of the new moon anywhere in the world, tomorrow Wednesday the 16th of May will be the final day of the month of Sha’aban and Thursday May 17th will be the first of Ramadan.

May God accept all of your deeds and fasts this Holy month inshallah!

Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic lunar calendar during which 1.8 billion Muslims observe fasting from dawn to dusk. Ramadan also a season of charity, spirituality and relationship building. Based on the statement of moonsighting.com, most probably the Month of Ramadan will start Thursday, May 17, 2018.  An update will be sent on Tuesday night as soon as we know.

On this occasion ICCF would like to wish all Muslims a blessed month and extend our invitation to everyone to join us for our programs (calendar below).

ICCF has some recommendations to our community members:

• Please share the generosity and the beauty of Ramadan with your friends and neighbors. For example, maybe on the first day of Ramadan you can send your favorite dish to your friends and neighbors with a note sharing the beauty of Ramadan.
• You may donate generously towards the Ramadan expenses of our community center such as the iftars we all enjoy.
• Join us each night at 6:30PM for the recitation of the Holy Qur’an.
• Finally, join us for our annual fundraising dinner on Friday, May 25 to show support for all the work we do here on your behalf.
