Dear respected community, We pray that Allah blesses our time in the current month of Sha’ban and to make us live to witness Ramadan, the month of fasting, reading, studying and listening to the Quran to purify ourselves and draw nearer to Allah.  Our respected Sheikh Basyouni Nehela, Imam of Islamic Society of Boston, has announced to the Boston community that according to the Fiqh Council of North America, the moon sighting is anticipated July 31, 2011 based on scientific calculations. If it occurs indeed on July 31, it would make the first day of Ramadan be Monday August 1st, 2011. YUSUF MOSQUE will follow inshallah this opinion in determining the start and end of Ramadan aligning and synchronizing ourselves with the Islamic Society of Boston and The Fiqh Council of North America.

The Taraweeh Prayers

• at YUSUF MOSQUE: Tarawih @ 9:45 pm immediately after Isha, starting on Sunday night July 31, 2011

The Daily Iftar Program

Please contribute to sponsoring the Iftar meals this Ramadan 1432 Hijri (2011). The meals offered in the mosque’s lounge downstairs attract students, families and friends so they can reunite, socialize and pray together. Young adults get to experience Ramadan evenings at the mosque. We need your financial support to make this blessed community gatherings possible. Please sincerely donate to cover part or all the expenses of a specific night or multiple nights. Everyone has a chance. No donation is too small. $1, $5, $10, $50, $100+. The more people who contribute, the smoother the Iftar operation will be and the better we can plan the logistics ahead of time. The donation targets of $1000 Mon-Thu; $1500 Fri-Sun are based on our crowd experience from last year. The costs include:

• Free Iftar meals (average of 100 meals during the week days, and 150 on Fri-Sun; estimated at $7 each)
• Utilities (electric, water, gas, AC)
• Parking control staff
• General charity for the mosque maintenance

For the purposes of fascilitating fundraising logistics for the Iftars we are listing the online donation spots below assuming the calendar anticipated as mentioned earlier. YUSUF MOSQUE activities and logistics are established and managed mainly by volunteers, and the mosque depends on the generous support of responsible friends like you who realize the importance of instituting, improving and sustaining mosques. Apart from the donation opportunity below, we will also provide an opportunity for you inside the mosque to give Zakat Al-Fitr which we make sure it reaches inshallah a needy person before or on the day of Eid’ul Fitr. Please donate knowing that you are benefiting yourself and others and we will make sure that your donation is put to proper use. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to discuss with us. Thank You

We were touched to receive on the eve of Eid’ul’Fitr a warm-hearted letter of support from our kind neighbors. We would like to share it with you. The content of the letter speaks better than we can ever describe. It is this kindness and outreach that we subscribe to; and we extend our arms back. Thank you to the neighbors. Thank you to each one of you for exhibiting the same kindness and positive outreach.

Best Regards
