We pray that you and your loved ones are enveloped by the spirituality of these last ten days of Ramadan. As we inch closer to the end of our holy month, we encourage you now more than ever to join the Islamic Center community in our nightly
Ramadan Program and
participate in our celebrations for the Night of Power (Lailat al-Qadr) - Wednesday, June 21 and Eid al-Fitr - Sunday, June 25. Detailed information can be found on the Islamic Center calendar.
Tonight, we will host another community iftar at maghrib. Please bring your families to break your fast and pray taraweeh at the Center. Our nightly commentary will be delivered by
Jihad Turk.
Volunteers serve watermelon juice and lemonade as community members prepare to break their fasts. For volunteer opportunities, please email Kristen Stangas.
We look forward to seeing you and your loved ones this Ramadan.
In peace,
Islamic Center of Southern California
P.S. STAY INFORMED. Please forward this newsletter to your friends so they can join our mailing list.
As we continue hosting community iftars this Ramadan, we kindly request that you please donategenerously to our Iftar Sponosorship program. These iftars are a cornerstone of our Ramadan experience at the Islamic Center. After a long day of fasting, we look forward to sitting down and sharing a meal with our brothers and sisters. This year, we are committed to sponsoring iftar three days a week (Friday - Sunday) and we are financially dependent upon the contributions of our community in order to do so. Thank you for supporting your Islamic Center this Ramadan.
