Ramadhan begins tomorrow (01 Aug 2011)

Sunday, 31 July 2011 21:09 |

After considering the announcements about the beginning of Ramadan by majority of Muslim community in Australia, ALMA has decided to inform that the fasting begins on Monday 1 August 2011 Insha Allah. Please note that Taraweeh prayers therefore will start tonight (Sunday). ALMA executive committee wishes to extend Ramadhan Mubarak to all members and friends for a very beneficial month of Ramadan.

ALMA has consistently followed the majority community to decide the days of beginning of fasting and the days of Eid.

We understand that a significant number of Muslims will begin fasting on Tuesday as well due to apparently no reported sighting of moon anywhere in Australia. Therefore we should refrain from vain argument on the matter of "who is right" where highly respected Islamic scholars themselves have not found consensus. We should however remember that Allah (SWT) is generous enough to accept the fasting of all Muslims and open the gates of Al-Rayyan for all.

Eid-ul-Adha 2011 and ALMA Eid BBQ

Eid-ul-Adha is just around the corner. It is anticipated that Eid-ul-Adha would fall on Sunday 6 November or Monday 7 November 2011. We will notify the ALMA Eid prayer date when it is confirmed. As usual Eid prayers will be held at Auburn Park Insha Allah.

There are a number of significant acts of Ibadah that relate to Eid-ul-Adha. Fasting on the first nine days of Dhul Hijja and sacrificing a sheep (Qurbaan) on the day of Eid-ul-Adha are two highly recommended acts of Ibadah. Last year ALMA members and friends sponsored 27 Qurbaans, 23 of them were chanelled through Human Appeal International (HAI) charity organisation. ALMA organised a BBQ with 4 Qurbaans for its members and friends.
