Eid-ul-Adha 2012 Announcement

Asalaam-olaykum,

New moon (Hilal) for the month of Dhul Hijjah (the 12th month of the Islamic Calendar 1433 AH) has been sighted today Oct 16th, 2012. Saudi Arabia has also confirmed the new moon sighting, therefore 1st Dhul Hijjah will be tomorrow Oct. 17th, 2012 and Eid-ul-Adha will be on Friday Oct 26th.

Please Note: Day of Arafah (Hajj) will be on Thursday Oct. 25th, the 9th day of Dhul-Hijjah. It is the day when Hajj pilgrims stand on the plain of Arafah to pray in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. On this day, Muslims all over the world who do not witness the annual hajj should spend the day in fasting.

There is a great reward to observe fasting on the day of Arafah (Hajj); to do so on Thursday Oct. 25th stop eating at 6:08 am and do Aftaar at 6:18 pm.

Hadith:

Abu Qatadah, may Allah (swt) be pleased with him reported: 

The Messenger of Allah (swt), Muhammad sallaahu alayhi wasallam, was asked about the observance of Saum (fasting) on the day of Arafah. He said, “It is expiation for the sins of the preceding year and the current year.”  [Muslim]

Insha-Allah, Tracy Islamic Center will hold Eid-ul-Adha prayer at Tracy Community Center as per the following schedule:

Eid-ul-Adha on Friday Oct.26th

TIC Weekend Community Iftaar

In the Holy month of Ramadan month, sharing your Iftar is very important and feeding someone Iftar as form of charity is very rewarding. It was also the practice of our beloved prophet Muhammad  .

Tracy Islamic Center is providing the opportunity to our Muslim community members to share their Iftar with others on the weekends. Sharing Iftar can be achieved by sponsoring the weekend Iftar.

We expect about 200 people to attend the community iftars on weekends at Traina Elementary School.  Water and ice will be provided & a group of volunteers will help with setup and cleanup of the school hall.  

Weekend Iftars can be sponsored as following ways:

1) One person / one family / a group of muslims can host one or more iftar. (you provide all food and paper products.  

2) You can also pay any amount towards weekend Iftar. TIC will use that fund to order food and other material to have an Iftar.

Please contact following brothers for more details: 

Br. Saifi Raniwala (209) 612-8194

  or

Br. Wajahat Hussain (510) 378-4123

Please Note: A Few weekend day Iftars have already been sponsored. There will be no community Iftar for the days when no sponsor or contributor is found.

Please contact TIC Iftar committee members immediately to take part in this opportunity.
