Alhamdulillaah, some volunteers have arranged for tahajjud prayers to be held at the masjid during the last ten nights of Ramadan. The tahajjud prayer will start at 12:50am in shaa' Allaah. Prayers will commence from the night of 21st Ramadan, after the 20th fast, corresponding to the early hours of Sunday 26th June.
Volunteers are needed to help during these nights so please contact the masjid office if you are able to do so.
The masjid will be open for both brothers and sisters. However please note that the masjid doors will be closed after the tahajjud prayer and will reopen for Fajr, so please try to vacate the masjid as soon as possible after the prayers finish.
As it is in the middle of the night, please ensure you park sensibly with minimum noise. Please enter and leave the masjid calmly, and please do not loiter around the masjid. Parents with children are requested to keep their children with them at all times, and supervise them.
May Allaah help us to make the best use of these nights, and enable us to seek out the Night of Qadr :
Indeed, We sent the Qur'an down during the Night of Decree.
And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree?
The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.
The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter.
Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.
- al-Qur'an, Soorat-ul-Qadr (97)

Ramadan Mubarak!
in shaa' Allaah the first fast of Ramadan will be on Monday 5th May 2019, and the taraweeh prayers will start after ishaa' prayer on Sunday night.
We pray that Allaah 'azza wa jall grants us all the ability to make the best use of this month, to worship Him with sincerity and to abstain from all which He dislikes.
Narrated Abu Hurayrah (ra): Allah’s Apostle said, “Allah said, ‘All the deeds of Adam’s sons (people) are for them, except fasting which is for Me, and I will give the reward for it.’ Fasting is a shield or protection from the fire and from committing sins. If one of you is fasting, he should avoid sexual relation with his wife and quarreling, and if somebody should fight or quarrel with him, he should say, ‘I am fasting.’ By Him in Whose Hands my soul is’ The unpleasant smell coming out from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk. There are two pleasures for the fasting person, one at the time of breaking his fast, and the other at the time when he will meet his Lord; then he will be pleased because of his fasting.”
From Abu Hurairah [رضي الله عنه] who said: The Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] used to give good news to his Companions with the arrival of Ramadan, he would say:
«قد جاءكم شهر رمضان شهرٌ مبارك ، كتب الله عليكم صيامه ، فيه تفتح أبواب الجنة وتغلق فيه أبواب الجحيم ، وتغل فيه الشياطين ، فيه ليلةٌ خيرٌ من ألف شهر ، من حُرِمَ خيرها فقد حُرِم.»
"Indeed the month of Ramadan has arrived, a blessed month. Allaah has prescribed fasting for you. In this month the doors of Paradise are opened and the doors of hell are closed. The devils are shackled. In Ramadan there is a night better than a thousand months, whoever is prohibited from the good in that night then indeed he has been prohibited from good."
[Collected By Al-Mundhari In Targheeb Wa Tarheeb | Authenticated By Albaani, (1/490)]
Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali said:
"Some of the scholars said: This Hadeeth is a foundation for some people congratulating others with the month of Ramadan.
How can one not give good news to the believer with the doors of Paradise opening.
How can one not give good news to the sinful that the doors of the Hell fire have been closed.
How can one not give good news to the intelligent one with that the devils are shackled.
Where can this time period be compared to any other time."
[Lata’if Al-Ma’arif, (1/158)]

The first of Muharram was Tuesday 11th September 2018, so the 10th of Muharram will be Thursday 20th September 2018.
We are encouraged to fast the 10th of Muharram (Aashooraa') along with either the 9th or 11th in order to commemorate the day that Musa (alayhi as-salaam) was saved from Pharoah and his army.
Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to Madinah and saw the Jews fasting on the day of 'Ashura'. He said, 'What is this?' They said, 'This is a righteous day, it is the day when Allah saved the Children of Israel from their enemies, so Musa fasted on this day.' He said, 'We have more right to Musa than you,' so he fasted on that day and commanded [the Muslims] to fast on that day." [Reported by al-Bukhari, 1865]
Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "I never saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) so keen to fast any day and give it priority over any other than this day, the day of 'Ashura', and this month, meaning Ramadhan." [Reported by al-Bukhari, 1867]
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "For fasting the day of 'Ashura', I hope that Allah will accept it as expiation for the year that went before." [Reported by Muslim, 1976]
May Allaah help us to earn the reward of this important fast.
