The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said,

    “Salat in congregation is twenty-seven times

         more meritorious than a Salat performed individually.”

Assalamu’alaikum Nueces Community,

In response to the growing concern of COVID-19, we have been coordinating with the other mosques in the Greater Austin area along with imams, healthcare professionals, and board representatives to find solutions that best serve the unique interests of our community and mosque. As such, Nueces Mosque will be canceling ALL Jumu’ah prayers on March 13th, 2020 out of an abundance of caution. 

Local scholars are in agreement that given the current circumstances, Jumu’ah prayer is not obligatory and advise the community to pray Dhuhr at home. This decision has been made under guidance from public health professionals who recommend social distancing as the best course of action given the spread of the pandemic. We have agreed that we cannot risk spreading the disease, especially to families with elders, children or anyone with compromised immune systems. We advise everyone to take the necessary precautions, including:

• Washing your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds

• Using hand sanitizer in the absence of soap and water

• Avoiding contact with your nose, eyes, mouth, face, and other sick people

• Staying home and avoiding public spaces if you feel sick

• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow when coughing or sneezing

We hope you take these suggestions seriously, as the safety and health of our community is our top priority. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused but hope you can understand our decision based on current circumstances. We ask Allah SWT to keep you, your loved ones and our community healthy and blessed.

اللهم عافنا في ابداننا واسماعنا وابصارنا

“O Allah grant us well being in our bodies, in our hearing and our sight.” Ameen.
