Ramadan 2019 Start Date
Abu Hurairah (RA) says that the Holy Prophet said: "Start fasting on seeing the new moon and stop fasting on observing the same. If you are unable to spot it due to the sky being cloudy then treat the month of Shaban as thirty days." (Sahih Muslim and Sahih Bukhari)
Based on Moon sighting, the first of Ramadan may be on May 6th [Monday] or May 7th [Tuesday].
Nation wide, Hilal sighting committees will be meeting on the evening of May 5th [Shaban 29th] to monitor hilal sightings across the country and will take a decision on the start of Ramadan. Please check the ICR website for updates and email will also be sent out on May 5th regarding the start of Ramadan.
ICR's Moon Sighting Policy
ICR, since its inception, has been following the policy of relying on the actual moon sighting information from National Hilal Sighting organizations like Chicago Hilal sighting committee, Shariah Board Chicago/Newyork, & Dar-ul-uloom Buffalo to determine the start and end of all Islamic months. ICR accepts any positive confirmation of Moon sighting from these National organizations and declares the Islamic Months. ICR notifies the community through its website and Newsletter about all important dates based on this policy.
Ramadan Iftaar Sign up
Our beloved Messenger of Allah [PBUH] said,"Whoever feeds a fasting person will have a reward like that of the fasting person, without any reduction in his reward." [Tirmidhi]
Please sign up to provide iftaar for the fasting muslims. The iftaar sign up sheets have been put up on notice boards at Masjid Yusuf and Mayland Musalla.
Support the activities at ICR during Ramadan
The best investment of our time and energy is to help the Deen of Allah. If we help Allah, Allah will help us and make us steadfast. There is plenty of volunteer opportunity at ICR during Ramadan and if you can volunteer your time, please let us know. The Prophet [PBUH] said "Do not disdain a good deed, even if it is meeting your brother with a smiling face". We look forward to seeing you actively volunteering yourself at ICR during Ramadan.
Funds needed for Parking lot
As we diverted our funds from completing the inside of the Masjid to complete the parking lot to fulfill county requirements for Temp certificate, we are in dire need for funds to pay our contractors who are finishing their work in the interior of the Masjid.
We are humbly reaching out to you all seeking funds to complete the interior of the Masjid which will enable us to get temporary occupancy certificate from the county.
