Shawwal Fasting 2018

Observing six days of fasting during Shawwal together with the Ramadan fasts, are equivalent to fasting all year round.

Those brothers and sisters who were following the GCM Ramdhan timetable for Fajr and Sehri can now view the Shawwal timetable here. A paper copy can also be picked up within Glasgow Central Mosque.

Those brothers and sisters that followed the earlier prayer timetable during Ramadhan can continue to follow the same timetable for Sehri and Fajr in Shawwal.

May Allah (swt) grant us the strength and ability to keep these six additional fasts.

Ameen

Eid Mubarak

On behalf of Glasgow Central Mosque we would like to say EID Mubarak to all our Muslim brothers and sisters.

May Allah SWT accept all your efforts and grant everyone the best of happiness, health and imaan.

Eid Al-Fitr 2018 Announcement

We are pleased to confirm the moonsighting committee of Glasgow has decided Eid Al-Fitr will be on Friday 15th June 2018.

This will mark the first day of Shawwal 1439 AH.

The prayer times in GCM will be as follows:

Fajr Jamaat will be at 4.10am

Eid prayer times are:

5am (preceded by a talk in Urdu)

8am (preceded by a talk in both English and Urdu)

10.15am (preceded by a talk in both English and Urdu)

Once again we would remind brothers and sisters about parking. Please arrive early, car share where possible and park responsibly, following the instructions of our stewards and volunteers.

Finally, SADAQAH AL-FITR (also Fitrana) is Wajib (compulsory) upon all Muslims – men, women and children – who on the day of Eid Al Fitr possess the Nisab (threshold) of Zakah. This is £4 per person and should be paid BEFORE Eid Salah.

On the day of Eid it is recommended by our Ulema to :

-Wake early for Tahajjud and Fajr
-Perform ghusl
-Wear your best available clothes
-Use Miswak and fragrance
-Eat something sweet before leaving for Eid Salaat
-Have paid Sadqatul Fitr
-Go one way to masjid and return a different way
-When going to Eid Salaat, recite the following takbir softly

الله أكبر ، الله أكبر ، لا إله إلا الله ، والله أكبر ، الله أكبر ، ولله الحمد

Finally, we must keep the momentum which we have built up in Ramadhan going all year round with the support of Allah swt to keep us on the straight path. May Allah swt shower his mercy on this blessed day of Eid and may it be a new beginning of greater prosperity, success and happiness. And may the Noor of Allah swt enlighten our hearts. Ameen

Jazak’Allah Khair
