A Message from Brother Ashfaq Taufique

Allah (swt) blessed us to witness Ramadan. We pray that our fasting, Taraweeh and all the good deeds that we did are accepted, and we are among the ones who will attain Jannah, inshaAllah.

At all three Masajid, I saw volunteerism at its best as people selflessly served the community at iftaar and the last ten days of Ramadan with suhoor. I sincerely pray that Allah (swt) reward all volunteers immensely and reserve the highest place in Jannah for them, ameen.

One of the highlights at Hoover Crescent was a 10 to 15 minute lecture delivered by Imam Sameh on the explanation of the Quran that would be recited in the Taraweeh. The Musalees at the Hoover Crescent also saw an additional pavilion, and another shed for vending. The additional pavilion helped us serve the expected participants at the Iftaar.

Musalees at the Westside Masjid witnessed the renovation of the entire Masjid with new carpet, paint and totally renovated bathrooms with a wudu station.

In a month or so, the HCIC outdoor storage room and pantry will be completed and the two storage sheds will be removed to make room for additional parking. Depending on the collection of the last fundraising we will continue with the building of the additional parking and the plans for the building addition that will accommodate the weekend school and a clinic for Red Crescent Clinic of Alabama.
