Dear Community,
AssalamoAlykum,
Ramadan Mubarak! Alhamdulillah, we are blessed to have been able to witness Ramadan again this year. Thanks to lifting restrictions, many of us will be able to gather at the Masjid this year to take part in Taraweeh prayers, community Iftars and daily worship. However, keeping ourselves and those around us safe is our top priority.
We're excited to continue with the Community Iftar Potluck on Friday’s and Saturday’s in the Masjid. It’s happing after a gap of 3 years due to COVID restrictions. Everyone is welcome to join and look forward to sharing a meal, learning and having the opportunity to get to know each other better. We also have some new families who moved to Owen Sound over last few years and coming to the Masjid
Recommended Etiquette and Suggestions:
1- Try to bring at least a dish
2- We encourage you to split your dishes for both brothers and sisters
3- Please don’t waste any food, take only what you can eat
4- Children should be escorted by their parents and supervised at all times
5- We encourage you to help us keep the Masjid clean by picking up after yourselves and keeping the washrooms clean
6- We need help of some volunteers after Iftar to wipe down the tables, empty garbage bins, vacuum carpet, and put the chairs back by the tables
7- Stay at home if you are feeling ill. Caring for the well-being of our community is an important Islamic principle.
As narrated by Abu Huraira, the Prophet Muhammad (SA) said:
“Do not put a patient with a healthy person”
