With the change in Daylight Savings Times on March 10, we will now begin the March-November schedule for Jum’ah. The Khutbu (Islamic sermon) will begin at 1:30 p.m. and the congregational prayers start at 1:50 p.m.
As a reminder, the Jum’ah service begins with a sermon in Farsi, then a call to prayer (Azaan), individual customary prayers (Sunnah prayers), community announcements in Farsi, a sermon in Arabic (Khutbah), and ending in two cycles (rakahs) of obligatory (Fard) prayer in congregation.
The services are officiated by by our lay speaker (Khateeb) Dr. Barakatullah Danishwar and our resident spiritual leader (Imam) Qari Abdul Basir Durani.
The Mawlid program at Masjid Abu Bakr Al-Sideeq will begin at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 24.
The program includes a Khatumul Qur’an and Bayaan. A special potluck dinner will follow at the Masjid after Maghrib prayer.

A’shora (10th of Muharram) falls on Saturday, November 24 in USA and Canada. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Fasting the day of `A’shora’ (is of great merits), I hope that Allah will accept it as an expiation for (the sins committed in) the previous year” (Muslim).
Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: “I never saw Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) so keen to fast any day and give it priority over any other than this day, the day of `A’shora’, and this month, meaning Ramadan.” (Al-Bukhari, Hadith 1867).
It is preferred to fast the day of A’shora along with one day before it or one day after it or both.
May Allah accept our fast, and He knows best.
