Dear Brothers and Sisters:

Eid-ul-Fitr: Thursday, May 13, 2021

There have been no verified reports of moon sighting anywhere in the world that shared part of the night with the USA, and hence in accordance with our global moon sighting policy, we will complete the month of Ramadan. In-Shaa-Allah,
Eid-ul-Fitr will be on Thursday, May 13, 2021.

EID PRAYERS


As announced earlier, each Islamic Center (NAMCC, ICBC, ICGA, ICRR, and ICLT) will hold Eid-ul-Fitr prayers at their own centers, following their existing registration and COVID safety protocols.  We will be holding a live broadcast of the Eid khutbas for those offering Eid prayers at home.

Visit https://Eid.AustinMuslimUnity.org/ for prayer timing, registration, live broadcast links, and other details for Eid Prayers at respective Islamic Centers. 

Please observe all of the Sunnahs of Eid (of taking a ghusl, eating breakfast, wearing one’s best garments, saying the general takbīrat after Fajr, etc.) and then head to your center for congregational prayer or pray at home with your own families, with the special takbīrat of Eid. 

For those offering Eid prayers at home, the prayer itself is to be held the morning of the 1st day of Shawwal by praying two rakaats with extra takbirs as is usually done each year.  After the first takbir to enter the prayer, seven more are made. When a person stands for the second rakaah they make five additional takbirs to the transitional takbir.

We ask Allah SWT to lift the affliction of the COVID-19 pandemic from all the world and keep all of us and our families safe and healthy. We ask Allah SWT to accept all your good deeds. Ameen. We request your prayers and support in our endeavors.


Eid Mubarak from all of us!

Jazakum Allahu Khairun

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuhu

Dear Brothers and Sisters:

EID PRAYERS

While many of us in the community are vaccinated (one or both doses), the Austin Islamic Centers have come to a united agreement that it is not yet time for combined EID prayers at an indoor location as we have done before. This decision was reached out of safety concerns for both our congregants and volunteers.

Given our current situation, each Islamic Center (NAMCC, ICBC, ICGA, ICRR,  ICLT) will hold Eid-ul-Fitr prayers at their own centers, following their existing registration and COVID safety protocols.  We advise families to observe all of the Sunnahs of Eid (of taking a ghusl, eating breakfast, wearing one’s best garments, saying the general takbīrat after Fajr, etc.) and then head to your center for congregational prayer or pray at home with your own families, with the special takbīrat of Eid. 

Inshaa Allah, we will be holding a live broadcast of the Eid khuthbas and will publish a schedule soon on https://austinmuslimunity.org, along with additional details.

We ask Allah SWT to lift the affliction of the COVID-19 pandemic from all the world and keep all of us and our families safe and healthy. We ask Allah SWT to accept all our good deeds. Ameen. We request your prayers and support in our endeavors.

Assalamu alaikum community members,

We welcome the month of Ramadan with excitement and look forward to gain the most Inshallah.

Given the COVID-19 pandemic we are in, everyone needs to be careful to protect themselves and others. Inshallah we will be following the below guidelines and all community members are requested to cooperate:

1. Taraweeh: Inshallah Ramadan Taraweeh prayer starts right after Isha on Monday 04/12/2021.

2. Taraweeh prayers will be held in the small masjid with the overflow in the open space outside next to small masjid.

3. There will be NO registration at this time. However, if the participation is beyond the capacity then we will revert back to registration.

4. We have age restriction at this time since we don’t have facility to accommodate kids 12 years and below. At this time, the age limit is 12 years and above.

5. Sisters prayers will be held in the small masjid sister side.

6. Iftar: There will be NO iftar in the premises this year. It is with great discomfort we had to make this decision in the interest of the community. Inshallah next year will be different.

7. You can breakfast in the car and then proceed to the masjid for the prayers.

8. NO food and NO socializing on the premises.

9. Parking: Community members are encouraged to park in the north parking lot, a lot next to masjid or street parking.

10. DO NOT park in the church parking or on the grass. Unauthorized cars and cars not following posted signs will be towed away.

11. Volunteers, first comers can park in the underground parking. We will close the parking lot after we are full.

12. We will keep the north gate of the masjid open for people to walk in from the north parking lot.

Inshallah new masjid will be ready soon and we will be able to accommodate more inshallah.

Please report any suspicious activity or anything out of place to ec@namcc.org or to the imam or to the board members. Lets keep our community safe.

From,

Executive Committee,

North Austin Muslim Community

To continue practicing the COVID -19 precautions, we would like to request all the community members to NOT socialize during the month of Ramadan while you are on the Masjid premises.

There will be NO iftar or dinner at NAMCC this year due to continued COVID-19 restrictions.  You are allowed to do iftar in your car 

As Salaam alaikum Respected brothers and sisters,

In sha Allah this message finds you in the best of health and faith. 
At NAMCC our top priority of this crisis is protecting the health and safety of our community members, staff, partners, neighbors, and dedicated volunteers. While we understand that the policy regarding masks statewide has changed, our policy at NAMCC has not. To that extent, the requirement for masks on the premises of NAMCC as well as all other health safety protocols for Covid-19, will remain in place until further notice. 

NAMCC was a leader in establishing safety protocols for masajid across the nation while being the first local masjid to reopen. We are grateful that we have seen support and strong compliance regarding masks from community members and look forward to continued support in this effort. We are committed to serving in the best interest of this community. 
We are all in this together and appreciate your support, cooperation, kindness and patience as we navigate this pandemic together and will do our best to keep the premises open safely. 
May allah bless this community and strengthen us through this difficult time. May He give ease to all who are suffering. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the Executive Committee via email: EC@NAMCC.ORG
