Welcome to Ramadan 2025 at the Islamic Center of Riverside
Assalamu Alaikum, dear community members,
As we approach the blessed month of Ramadan, it is time for us to prepare our hearts, minds, and homes for this special period of reflection, fasting, and spiritual growth. Ramadan is a time for us to come together as a community, strengthen our faith, and seek the blessings of Allah (SWT).
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever fasts during Ramadan out of faith and seeking reward, his previous sins will be forgiven." (Sahih Bukhari)
In preparation for Ramadan, we encourage everyone to:
Reflect: Take time to reflect on your actions and seek forgiveness for any wrongdoings.
Plan Your Fasting: Ensure you are physically and mentally prepared for the fasts. Plan your meals and hydration to maintain your health.
Increase Your Worship: Engage in additional prayers, recitation of the Quran, and other acts of worship.
Give Charity: Ramadan is a time for giving. Consider donating to those in need and supporting community initiatives.
Strengthen Community Bonds: Reach out to family, friends, and neighbors. Strengthen your relationships and support one another.
Prepare Your Home: Clean and organize your home to create a peaceful environment for worship and reflection.
Set Goals: Establish personal and spiritual goals for Ramadan to make the most of this blessed month.
We will be hosting various events and activities throughout Ramadan to help you make the most of this blessed month. Stay tuned for more details on our website and social media channels.
May Allah (SWT) grant us all the strength and patience to observe Ramadan with sincerity and devotion. Let us make this Ramadan a time of spiritual renewal and community unity.
Jazakum Allahu Khairan,
