masjid

Ramadan is a blessed month of fasting for nearly two billion Muslims across the world. Much attention is focused on fasting from dawn to sunset, increasing attention to prayers, giving in charity, and performing good deeds.

اَللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كُلُّهُ وَلَكَ الشُّكْرُ كُلُّهُ

O Allah, for You Alone is all Praise. For You Alone is all Gratitude.

Hearts are heavy this Ramadan. Eyes are overflowing with tears. Minds are still in a state of denial.

For some, there are too many emotions to make sense of this unprecedented Ramadan. Rejection. Deprivation. Anger. Anxiety. Humility. Introspection.

When you ensure that women are included in the Masjid, you are ensuring that the entire community has access to the teachings of Islam. You are showing non-Muslims that Islam does not stand for the exclusion of women and children, that Islam is not a "man's religion."
