In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Assalamu' Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
We would like to share important information with our community as part of upcoming Eid-ul Adha celebrations.
MANAL is pleased to announce that the day of Arafah will be Tuesday, May 26th and the first day of Eid-al Adha insha'Allah will be Wednesday, May 27th.
There will be three Eid prayers - the first prayer will be held at 6:00 am, the second prayer at 6:45 am and the third prayer at 8:30 am. All three prayers will be held at Masjid Suleman Dawood,135 Torbay Road.
There will be NO Eid prayer at Masjid al-Noor.
When you come for the Eid prayer, please follow these requirements:
1. For the prayers, Brothers' entry and exit is from the main entrance and Sisters' entry and exit is from the back entrance.
2. Eating, drinking, smoking and distributing treat/snack bags are strictly prohibited inside the prayer area.
3. Everyone must make wudu at home
Carpooling is recommended to avoid traffic congestion. Parking is allowed ONLY at the designated parking lots. Please follow directions from the RNC and MANAL Volunteers when parking.
Eid-al Adha commemorates the unwavering devotion and sacrifices of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) in obedience to Allah (SWT). It also signifies his absolute trust and submission to Allah’s will. The celebration provides Muslims an opportunity to contemplate the values of sacrifice, patience, submission, obedience and steadfastness in their faith. As per the traditions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), fasting during the first nine days of Zul-Hijja is a highly-recommended and highly-rewarded act.
MANAL would like to thank all the volunteers who help us maintain the two Mosques (Masjid Al Noor and Masjid Suleman Dawood) and manage MANAL's operational activities throughout the year.
May Allah (SWT) bless our community and the whole Muslim ummah with a happy and peaceful Eid-al Adha.
JAK,
MANAL Executives
