Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Ramadhan Mubarak. Marhaban ya Ramadhan. I would like to inform you all that according to the sources we believe to be shahih, Ramadhan will begin tomorrow 11 of August. This is based on the following sources:
- Islamic Finder. A non-profit organization that has done a lot in providing information to Muslims around the world such as prayer times, calendar, lectures, etc.
- Islam City, Website providing modern scientific tool for moonsighting.
- About.Islam website, providing useful information about Islam. According to sources 2 and 3, Fiqhi Council of North America and The European Council for Fatwa and Research have come to a consensus that the first day of Ramadhan will be on 11 August.
- Our traditional lead, Lakemba Mosque in Sydney, has also decided to begin fasting on the same date.
Therefore, I would confirm the email sent out by Bro. Fakhrul today that we will begin fasting tomorrow and taraweh prayer tonight. Insyaalah we will begin at at around 7 pm.
Iftar will be held 4 times every Saturday during Ramadhan, and the first will be held at Madgwick Hall (top floor of the old book room), behind the UNE Shop, near the north bus stop. The closest car park is the northern car par near the UNE Shop.
I wish you all the best in performing Ramadhan, inshallah. May Allah bless us all, and give us the strength to complete Ramadhan successfully. Amin.
Jazakallah,
On behalf of UMMA,
Dr. Zifirdaus Adnan
President
