Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission reminder: Ramadan In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Peace be upon you, Ramadan begins Wednesday 17th June 2015, God willing, for North America (the Night of Destiny begins on the sunset of Sunday July 12th). For additional information, e.g., the last date of fasting in North America or for Ramadan dates for your location, please see: http://www.masjidtucson.org/submission/practices/ramadan/ . Like all duties in Submission, fasting was decreed through Abraham (Quran 22:78, Appendices 9 & 15). The full details of fasting are given in 2:183-187. [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 have a blessed month of Ramadan, by God's leave, and take advantage of the gift God gives us to grow our souls.
