Welcoming Ramadan

al-Salāmu ‘alaykum everyone. It’s that time of year again, in shā’ Allāh: time for Ramadan! Middle Ground is excited to announce a Ramadan plan/schedule.
- The last Tarawih prayer will be Wednesday night. Obviously you still have to fast Thursday but there will be no Tarawih prayer Thursday night.
- Eid is expected to be Friday morning. For those praying in Rancho, see here for Eid United’s info.
- Imam Marc Manley will be leading the Eid prayer at Masjid al-Fātiḥah in Azusa. The gates open at 6:30am, Takbirat starts at 7am, and Ṣalāh begins at 7:30am. Please note the space is limited so I would try and arrive early and leave enough time to park and walk.
- There will be no Jumu’ah prayer at Middle Ground on Friday. This is because Eid and Jumu’ah will occur on the same day and so there is no obligation to pray Ṣalāh al-Jumu’ah. However, remember to pray Ṣalāh al-Ḍhuhr!!. You are still obliged to pray that.
- And finally, don’t forget to keep seeking Laylah al-Qadr up to the end of Ramadan!
Prayer Times (to the end of Ramadan)
- Note: the iqamah time for Ṣalāh al-‘Ishā’ will change to 9:00PM on Sunday.
- Note: the time for Ṣalāh Tarawih will be approximately 9:30PM.
Here’s an overview of our general Ramadan schedule:
- al-Tarāwīḥ Prayer will be lead by Shaykh Ibrahim Merdad.
- Imam Marc will offer a short talk, daily, between al-‘Ishā’ prayer and al-Tarāwīḥ prayer.
- Ifṭār will not be offered every day. The Ifṭār schedule will be thus:
