Ramadan Message
from The Islamic Center of Union county
Asalam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh (peace be upon you)!
Dear Brothers, Sisters and beloved youth,
The month of Ramadan is arriving, Insha'Allah!, the blessed month of fasting and prayers. It is the month of performing good deeds and giving in charity.
May Allah (swt) make it a month of blessing to fill us with mercy and forgiveness, to renew in ourselves the meaning of empathy and compassion and to live through the Islamic core values as we are contributing to our society.
As we welcome this holy month with happiness and hope, we recall the Prophet's (salah allah alaihe wasallam) saying to his companions congratulating them on Ramadan, 'O people, a blessed month comes. Allah orders you to fast. A month when the doors of paradise are open; the doors of hell are closed; and demons are chained.'”
We are pleased to share that ICUC will be having Taraweeh everyday insha Allah (assuming safe conditions prevail), but will be very limited and restricted to individual arriving on time, due to increasing number of Covid in Union county and NJ at large. ICUC will participate in limited activities and it will be shorter than typically taraweeh prayer daily.
Finally, we pray to Almighty Allah to help us in fasting and performing prayers, to forgive us, to bless our souls, and accept our fast and duaas. Ameen.
