وَلا تَقولَنَّ لِشَيءٍ إِنّي فاعِلٌ ذٰلِكَ غَدًا

Do not say about anything, ‘I will indeed do it tomorrow,’
و هرگز نگو من فردا كاري انجام مي‏دهم

إِلّا أَن يَشاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ وَاذكُر رَبَّكَ إِذا نَسيتَ وَقُل عَسىٰ أَن يَهدِيَنِ رَبّي لِأَقرَبَ مِن هٰذا رَشَدًا

without [adding], ‘if Allah wishes.’ And when you forget, remember your Lord, and say, ‘Maybe my Lord will guide me to [something] more akin to rectitude than this.’
مگر اينكه خدا بخواهد، و هر گاه فراموش كردي (جبران نما) و پروردگارت را بخاطر بياور، و بگو اميدوارم كه پروردگارم مرا به راهي روشنتر از اين هدايت كند

مَن عامَلَ النّاسَ فَلَم یَظْلِمْهُم، وحَدَّثَهُم فَلَم یَکْذِبْهُم، ووَعَدَهُم فَلَم یُخْلِفْهُم،‌ فَهُو مِمَّن کَمُلَتْ مُرُوَّتُهُ وظَهَرَتْ عَدالَتُهُ

“Whoever does not oppress people in connection with them, does not lie to them in his words, and does not break his promises, thus the chivalry of such a person is complete and his justice is obvious.”

هر کس در تعامل با مردم به آن‌ها ستم نکند، و در گفته‌هایش به آن‌ها دروغ نگوید، و در وعده‌هایش به آن‌ها خلف وعده نکند، چنین کسی مروّتش کامل و عدالتش آشکار است

Eid al-Fitr Prayer & Eid Potluck Picnic

Zakat Fitrah (Non-Sayyed)

بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم
In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful

Eid Fitr 1444 | 2023

بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
Felicitous is he who purifies himself, celebrates the Name of his Lord, and prays.
Holy Qur’an [87, 14-15]

SPECIAL EID AL-FITR PROGRAM

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Salam Alaykum,

We are delighted to announce that Friday, May 21st, 2023 will be the first day of the month of Shawwal, 1444, and Eid al-Fitr.

This determination is based on the fact that there were verified sightings of the crescent moon by the naked eye at sunset on Thursday, May 20th in Riverside and San Diego.

Masjid Al-Rasool Congratulates you and all the Mo'mineen on the blessed occasion of Eid Al-Fitr. We are thankful to have had the opportunity to welcome you again at the Masjid during this holy month of Ramadan. In the spirit of unity, we bid farewell to this blessed month and bring you a special program to celebrate the arrival of Eid al-Fitr and reflect upon the spiritual revival brought to us by the month of Ramadan.

You are cordially invited to join us for the Eid prayer. The program will consist of the following:

7:30 AM: Masjid doors open
8:00 AM – Dua Nudba and Takbeerat
9:00 AM – Eid Prayer
9:30 AM – Eid Sermon
10:00 AM – Breakfast

ZAKĀT FITRAH فطریه

Zakat al-Fitrah should be set aside on the eve of Eid al-Fitr and paid on the day itself, which marks the end of Ramadan and the first day of the month of Shawwal. Since there will be in-person Eid Prayer, you can pay your Zakat at the Masjid or pay it online so we can get the funds to the Faqeer (needy) in time for Eid. A sum must be paid on a person’s behalf as well as on behalf of all of the dependents. This would also include any guests who are staying overnight during the eve of Eid al-Fitr, under the care of the person. For further details, please refer your Marja's rulings or this reference: http://www.islamic-laws.com/fitra.htm

For every individual, the minimum given must be the equivalent of 6.6 pounds of a popular basic food commodity such as rice or wheat (flour), as opposed to a full cooked meal. For 2023, the estimated cost per person for Zakat-al-Fitra is $15. On the day of Eid, the zakat will be distributed to the poor.

You can give Zakāt al-Fitra any time during the month of Ramadan before the night of Eid but it’s mustahab to first give it as a loan and then to change your intention from it being a "loan" to "Zakāt al-Fitra" on the day of Eid..

The amount of Fidya/Kaffarah is 1.65 pounds of popular basic food commodity. The estimated cost per person for Fidya/Kaffrah is $5.00 per day.

You can pay your Zakat al-Fitra and Kaffarh on the day of Eid at the Masjid or use the link below to pay them and other related dues.
