In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

The month of fasting (Ramadan) will start on Friday July 20th at most places, God willing. God provides us Ramadan as an opportunity to grow our souls by observing His commandment to fast, and being appreciative for His guidance.

[Quran 2:185] Ramadan is the month during which the Quran was revealed, providing guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book. Those of you who witness this month shall fast therein. Those who are ill or traveling may substitute the same number of other days. GOD wishes for you convenience, not hardship, that you may fulfill your obligations, and to glorify GOD for guiding you, and to express your appreciation.


May we all have a blessed month of Ramadan, by God's leave, and take advantage of this gift He has given us to grow our souls.
