A Message from Brother Ashfaq

We are in the month of Rajab, the seventh month of the Islamic Calendar. Rajab is one of the four sacred months mentioned in the Quran and explained by Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him).

It is widely believed that Rajab is when the event of Isra and Meraj, the night journey and ascension of Prophet (peace be upon him) to the heavens took place. We, in this time of trials and tribulations, can learn from Abu Bakr’s (may Allah be pleased with him) steadfastness to his faith, as he, without reservation, accepted the “unbelievable” story of a one-night journey to the farthest masjid and then the ascension to the heavens by saying “If my friend (Muhammed) said it, it is true.”

As updated in the last issue, we are earnestly working on logistics of Ramadan at our three masjids. You will see a lot of construction activities at Hoover, Homewood, and Westside to make the facilities more accommodating, inshaAllah, due to the ever-increasing participation.
