Welcome to Your Ramadan Central!
Muslims from all of the world come together to observe the holy month of Ramadan. Allah says in the Quran:
“O you who believe! Observing As-Sawm (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqun (pious).” [Quran, al-Baqarah 2:183]
Ramadan Central was created to make it easy for MCA attendees to centralize all information about Ramadan. This page will include resources, zakat and donation information, activities, khatiras , and much more. Join us every night for Quranic recitation and prayer lead by Sh. Sayid Jebril, and weekly online for a special “Ramadan Booster Series” video from local shayukh.
