Ramadan message from Chairman (2024)

Dear brothers and sisters in Islam

Assalamu A’laikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa barakatuhu,

Ramadan Kareem (1445 Hijri)!!! “Whoever get into this month (Ramadan) they must fast.” (Sura Baqarah: 185) Our Prophet (peace be upon him) in a khutba on end of Sha’ban said, “Oh people, a blessed month coming to you, where there is a night, which is better than thousand months, when Allah make fasting mandatory in days and make salah voluntary in nights, a sunnah ibadah will be rewarded equivalent to farad ibadah and farad Ibadah be rewarded in seventy folds. This is the month of patience and reward of patience is Jannah. This month is also for charity, when the rizq of Mumin is increased. Whoever offers iftar to a fasting person, his sin is forgiven, he will be saved from hell fire and receive equal reward of the fasting person, without decreasing the reward of the fast observer.” Let’s commit ourselves to practice following to maximize reward and increase our level of piety:

1. Recite, memorize and understand the Quran (follow Dawah dept. guidance)
2. Increase study on hadith and Islamic literature (ref: www.mcofcanada.com)
3. Increase salah, dua and memorize dua (follow Dawah department guidance)
4. Pay zakat and donate (follow Social Department & MCC Centre)
5. Arrange halaqah in Ramadan with iftar, if possible
6. Let’s help newcomers, wherever needed

Please remember all oppressed including Palestine in your dua and help them out. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, bless us with his infinite rahmah, accept our salah, siam and tilawat, forgive our sins, save from hell fire and enter us into His Jannah. Ameen. Jazakumullah bil Khair. Walaikumus Salaam Wa Rahmatullah.

Your bother in deen

Muhammad Zulkarnain
Chairman
