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

We thank the MQP Elementary School for inviting us again to their Multicultural Fair. We hope everyone who visited our stand enjoyed learning about Muslim inventions and traditions, including the very popular henna hand drawings!

On Saturday, March 21st, the children of our community had a great time attending our Kids Eid Al Fitr Party. After enjoying bouncy castles and slides for hours, they left the venue with goodie bags, balloons and big smiles. Many of them also ended up looking more colorful in the hands of our talented face painting and henna volunteers. May Allah swt reward all our young volunteers for their service and reunite us again for celebrating many more Eids.

Alhamdulillah, we concluded our Ramadan Story Time series on March 14th with another program held at the A. C. Hunter Public Library (Children's Library). We thank our hosts and guests for making it such a joyful occasion. Until next time, Ramadan and Eid Mubarak everyone!

Thanks to Lieutenant Governor Aylward for her continued support!

In 2022, The United Nations designated March 15 as the International Day to Combat Islamophobia.

Yesterday, today and every day, we say no to hate and discrimination.

Government House lit up green last night, and will again tonight as a symbol of support and solidarity with Muslims in Newfoundland and Labrador and across Canada.

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Assalamu’ Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,

MANAL is pleased to convey Eid greetings to all members of the community.

It is with a heavy heart that we see the passing of Ramadan, the month of moral and spiritual uplift, mercy and endless blessings, but at the same time we are grateful to Allah (SWT) for enabling us to experience this Ramadan through prayers and good deeds, and hope to experience many more Ramadans in the future Insha'Allah.

The successful completion of the holy month of Ramadan and Eid celebrations remind believers about the values of Gratitude (Shukr), Ihsan (compassion and excellence), and Sincerity (Khushu). These three living principles shape a believer’s character and impact the world around him/her. Gratitude grounds the heart in contentment and resilience, Ihsan elevates our dealings with kindness, justice, and excellence, and Sincerity purifies our intentions so that our actions carry lasting meaning. When these values are lived together, they nurture inner peace, strengthen relationships, build trust in communities, and bring barakah into our efforts. By embodying these timeless values in our daily lives, we do not only draw closer to Allah (SWT), but we also become a source of goodness, healing, and positive change in the current turbulent world.

We would like to share important information with our community as part of Eid celebrations.

For those who have not yet paid, Zakatul Fitr is $20 per person and must be paid BEFORE the Eid prayer. You can pay your Zakatul Fitr through the donation boxes/Square systems located at the mosque or through a member of the MANAL Executive Committee.

The first day of Eid al-Fitr Insha'Allah will take place on Friday March 20th.

There will be two Eid prayers - the first Eid prayer will start at 7:15AM and the second prayer at 8:45AM. Both prayers will be held at Suleman Dawood Masjid (135 Torbay Road, St. John’s).

There will be NO Eid prayer at the Masjid Al-Noor (430 Logy Bay Road).

When you come for the Eid prayer, please make sure that you make Wudu at home, and park in the designated parking area as per directions provided by MANAL volunteers.

MANAL would like to thank all the volunteers who help us maintain the Mosque and manage MANAL’s operational activities throughout the year and especially during the holy month of Ramadan.

May Allah (SWT) bless our community and the whole Muslim ummah with a happy and peaceful Eid.

Eid Mubarak

Jazakum Allahu Khairun,

Assalamu alaikum:

Due to the extremely poor weather and road conditions, both Isha and Tarawih congregational prayers will be cancelled this evening at Masjid al Noor. We appreciate your understanding as the safety of our congregants is of highest concern.
