Since it is a widely regarded Sunnah to fast on Mondays and Thursdays, iftar will be provided for both brothers and sisters this Thursday at Nueces Mosque. There are many hadith where Rasullulah (May blessings and peace be upon him) stated the importance of fasting on these days. Here are a few:

• It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Deeds are shown (to Allaah) on Mondays and Thursdays, and I like my deeds to be shown when I am fasting.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 747
• It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was keen to fast on Mondays and Thursdays. Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 745; al-Nasaa’i, 2361; Ibn Maajah, 1739
• It was narrated from Abu Qataadah al-Ansaari that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asked about fasting on Mondays. He said: “On that day I was born, and on it the Revelation came to me.” Narrated by Muslim, 116

Also, the MSA tafsir class with Sheikh Islam will be held at the masjid this Thursday as well. So come out to Nueces Mosque this Thursday for iftar, spend some quality times with your Muslim brothers and sisters and learn about the Qur'an!
