Nueces Mosque will insha'Allah be providing free iftaars on Mondays and Thursdays, throughout the month of Shawwal!

With Ramadan ending, one of the challenges that we face now is to try to learn from our experiences in Ramadan, and continue forward with all the changes that we made. What better way to carry forward our habits than by fasting the recommended six days in the month of Shawwal? As the Prophet (SAWS) told us:

“Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days from Shawwal it is as if they fasted the entire year.” [Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah; Ahmad transmitted it from Jabir, Muntaqa]

Everybody please come out and join us for iftaar/dinner - even if you're not able to fast on that day, you're more than welcome to drop by and share a meal with everyone at the masjid.

Ramadan will be over soon, but that doesn't mean the experience and the reward has to stop!

So you know what to do!

Mondays and Thursday:
Eat good (and free) food.
Enjoy good company.
Pray at the House of Allah (swt).

Fasting after Ramadan has never been this much fun.

The first Iftaar will be on Thursday, the 24th of September, insha'Allah.

The Islamic Center of Greater Austin (ICGA) and the North Austin Muslim Community Center (NAMCC) are coordinating Eid prayer logistics for this year, alhmadulilah.

The moon of Shawwal has been sighted in North America as well as in multiple countries in the Middle East. Hence ICGA and NAMCC will celebrate  Eid-ul-Fitr on Sunday, Sep 20, 2009. 

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Please start early to beat the traffic and give enough time for driving into downtown and for parking. Plan on arriving by 8:30am.
• Parking cost is $7 per car and has to be paid when you enter the parking lot
• Zakat-ul-Fitr must be paid to the needy before Eid Prayer. All Zakat-ul-Fitr collected by ICGA and NAMCC will be distributed locally through the HAPP organization.
