PRESIDENT’SMESSAGE

Dear MAPS Community,

The beautiful and holy month of Ramadan is upon us. Ramadan is a truly exceptional time for Muslims around the globe. Let me first wish you Ramadan Kareem. It is a time of prayer, of fasting, of charity, of forgiveness, of rejuvenation, of joy and of community. It is a time when we renew our faith to Allah The Merciful, when we recommit ourselves to good causes, when we leave behind bad habits, when we rededicate ourselves to the poor and needy and when we reconnect as one big family. Ramadan is also a time when our beautiful masjid comes alive.

The MAPS staff, volunteers and the board have worked hard to put together many programs this Ramadan. We have designed programs that aim at deepening our spiritual connections with Allah and strengthening our fraternal connections with each other. We will host weekday Iftaar’s for singles, weekend Iftaar’s for families, an Iftaar for our non-Muslim friends and neighbors, Suhoor’s in the last 10 days, nightly taraweeh, a Qur’an competition, multiple lectures and halaqa’s, guest speakers and qari’s and several activities during this holy month.

Please follow our bulletins by email or on Facebook for the details. Also, grab a copy of the Ramadan booklet when you visit the masjid in the first week of Ramadan.

We know that security is on top of everybody’s mind during these times of heightened concerns. We have taken steps to increase security throughout the whole month. The MAPS Readiness Team has assessed the building and taken measures to keep all of us safe. We will have paid guards, as well as, security staff on duty this month. Redmond Police will increase patrol of the area.

Ramadan is above all a time to deepen our relationship with Allah our Lord. Let us use this month to revitalize our Imaan, reaffirm our love of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and renew our connection with the Qur’an. Please remember our whole community in your dua’s during this blessed month and may Allah SWT accept all our prayers during this month.

Ameen,

Hyder Ali,

MAPS President

A’ishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used

to strive more in worship during Ramadan than he strove in any other time of the year; and he would devote himself more (in the worship of Allah) in the last ten nights of Ramadan than he did in

earlier part of the month. (Muslim).

RamadanDuas for Fasting

8

“O my son, establish prayer, enjoin what is right, forbid what is wrong,

and be patient over what befalls you. Indeed, [all] that is of the mat-

ters [requiring] determination.”[Luqmaan the Sage’s advice to his son - Qur’an 31:17]

9

That time of the year has come.

A month to repent from our wrongdoings and sins.

May all of us find peace in this Ramadan.

Welcome the month of Ramadan with your heart filled with

peace, harmony and joy.

May the divine blessings of Allah SWT protect and guide us.

May all our devotions and ibadaat and good deeds get an-

swered.

Ramadan is not only for fasting, we need to feed the

hungry, help needy, guard our tongue, not judge others

and forgive.

That is the spirit of Ramadan.

I wish that the spirit of Ramadan enlighten our

hearts and help us clearly judge between

truth and false, right and wrong.

Ramadan Mubarak!

IMAMJOBAN’S ADVICE

This Ramadan, following Shuyukh and Qaris have been arranged to lead daily Taraweeh prayers and Qiyam-ul-Lail during the last ten nights: Qari Mohamed Aslam Acha, Shaykh Qari AbdelKarim Edgouch, Shaykh Mohamed Joban, Imam Adam Jamal.

“And as for the night, keep awake a part of it as an additional prayer for you: soon will your Lord raise you to a station of praise and glory!” [Al-Israa’ 17:79]

Qiyamul Lail

Our Qiyam-ul-Lail program will start on 20th night of Ramadan and run for the last 10 nights. We will start at 1:15 am and finish at 2:10 am, InShaaAllah.

‘Qiyam’ mean to stand and ‘al-layl’ means the night. So literally it means standing in the night but in the shariya (in Islamic context) it means it is a voluntary prayer which is prayed after Isha and before the break of dawn.

MAPSFundraising Efforts

MAPS and other organizations serving the community rely on our generous donations during Ramadan to raise funds for their op-erations throughout the year. These fundrais-ings also provide a channel for the commu-nity to fulfill their Zakat/Sadaqa obligations and benefit from increased rewards during the blessed month.

Like last year, we will have two fundraising events for MAPS and two combined fund-raising events for outside organizations. Our hope is that diversity within these two groups will allow all MAPS members to find the cause that is dearest to them and contrib-ute to it.

The fundraising schedule is provided on this page and next.

Narrated Abu Huraira(r.a): The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ”... whoever fasts during Ramadan out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah’s rewards, then all his past sins will be forgiven.” (Imam Bukhari)

19

Children are always welcome at MAPS. During the Month of Ramadan, we offer par-ents programs that will help them with their young ones. Check out the next page for a few tips for accommodating children at MAPS this Ramadan.

20

Accomodating Children

in the Mosque

MAPS is hiring several babysitters throughout the month of Rama-dan. We are planning month-long activities and crafts for all children who attend. There is no fee to drop children with the babysitters. Please make use of these arrangements. If your children are not pray-ing by your side, they should be in the babysitting room.

MAKE USE OF THE BABYSITTING ARANGEMENTS

USE THE PARENT’S ROOM

OFFER TO HELP

DON’T SHRUG RE-MINDER SESSIONS

CORRECT GENTLY

Remember that MAPS has a separate Mother-and-Kids room and an-other Father-and-Kids room. These rooms are safe and both have live video and audio feeds of the prayers. Please use these rooms if you are praying with your children.

Instead of staring at a father as he runs after his energetic toddler or a mother as she struggles to calm a baby, offer to help. A polite “can I watch your son while you pray” or “would you like me to hold that diaper bag” earns Sadaqa for you and helps parents control their children.

The Masjid has the responsibility to provide frequent friendly re-minders for parents and children on the rules and manners of the Masjid. These announcements can be boring and even irritating but please understand that they are needed and help communicate the message.

Anas bin Malik relates that “the Prophet did not use insults or bad language or curse” (Reported by Bukhari). Our duty is to remind chil-dren gently about the etiquettes of the Masjid. Children of all ages will stop and listen to a person who smiles, says Salam, chats with them, and shows kindness.

Numerous Hadiths illustrate how natural it was for babies, toddlers, and children to be part of the Prophet’s Masjid. The Prophet (pbuh) understood the nature of children and cared for their needs and comfort in the Masjid.

Children thrive where they feel a sense of belonging. If we want our children to feel they belong in the Muslim community, they must feel welcome at the Masjid. Children gath-ering or playing with friends are not signs of misbehavior. They are signs of a nourishing community in which children are building friendships that will connect their hearts and minds to the Masjid.

At the same time, a Masjid is a place where people come to spiritually connect with Allah SWT and expect a peaceful, quiet environment to worship, pray and reflect. When chil-dren are running around or being loud during the prayers, it can distract worshippers from their ibadat.

21

We’ll have following speakers for Friday Khutbahs during Ramadan.

Jummahs in Ramadan are very special, blessed days. At MAPS, we have arranged for inspiring Khateebs to deliver the sermon.

Fridays in Ramadan

Eid prayers are the most attended events at MAPS. There’re kids’ activities and celebrations after the prayers. We hope that you, your family and friends can all join us this year. MAPS will hold four (4) Eid Prayers on Tuesday, June 4, 2019.
