Ramadan: An Investment you can’t Forgo!
Nothing can compare to the sense of community that envelops the Mosque Foundation during Ramadan. The prayer halls bustle with eager worshippers, and the words of Allah reverberate throughout the walls of the Masjid, night and day. Our community’s unwavering generosity and commitment have made us confident that we will witness unparalleled beneficence once again bi’thinillah.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ spoke of the inseparable bond between fasting and giving, stating, “Fasting is a shield and Sadaqah extinguishes sin like water extinguishes fire.” In working to uphold and embody the words of the Messenger ﷺ, we call on you not only to fast this month, abstaining from food and drink but also to guard against any sin:
- Strive to abandon any immoral acts or habits seeking forgiveness from Allah ﷻ
- Realign your inner compass, so it leads you to the path of Allah ﷻ
- Rekindle your relationships with believers, relatives, and your Masjid
- Aid in alleviating the suffering of those in need by offering your Zakat
Let these acts of charity be the keys to more bounties from Allah ﷻ. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “To Allah belong bounties and blessings (kept) with people that He will sustain for them as long as they are (busy) answering the needs of others, only if they do not feel bored (in doing so). If they feel bored from it, Allah will shift it to others.”
We also call on you to share in the enormous rewards of the thousands who worship, seek guidance, and receive assistance here by supporting the operations of our Masjid. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “Whomsoever (so much as) lights a lamp in a masjid, the Angels and Throne Bearers do not cease praying for them and asking forgiveness for them for as long as that lamp remains lit.”
