Annual Madrassah Jalsa

Glasgow Central Mosque is delighted to host its Annual Madrassah Jalsa on Sunday 30th June in the company of our Special Guest Hadhrat Maulana Yusuf Motala Sahib, a student of the late Shaikh Al-Hadith Muhammad Zakariyya al-Kandhalwi and Shaykh ul Hadeeth in Darul Uloom, Bury.

The first part of the programme will take place in the Main Community Hall after Dhuhr (2pm) where there will be student presentations and an Awards Ceremony.

Hadhrat’s talk will take place in the second part of our programme at 5.30pm in the Main Prayer Hall, which will also include Qiraat, Naats and Dastaar Bandi for the children who have completed the memorisation of the Glorious Quran.

Brothers & Sisters are welcome with hot food being served at the end of the programme.

We expect the Masjid to be busy. Once again we would like to remind brothers and sisters about parking. Please arrive early, car share where possible and park responsibly, following the instructions of our Stewards & Volunteers.

May Allah (swt) make this event beneficial for us all.

Shawwal Fasting

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 requested from the Main Office within Glasgow Central Mosque.

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

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

Ameen

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

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
