Assalamu Alaikum



Dear Family & Friends of ICSC, 


We pray that your first week of Ramadan has been filled with the blessings of this holy month and that you will continue to join us for our nightly program at the Islamic Center where there is something for everyone. Share in community iftars, shop vendor booths, pray taraweeh, attend Saturday night Spiritual Night, and more this weekend at the Center!






In an effort to make the Islamic Center programs and services more accessible, we are pleased to offer live stream services for our Friday prayers and Ramadan Program. Listen to Quranic recitation, tune-in for nightly commentaries, and follow along with taraweeh prayers from the comfort of your own home. In addition to live stream, we are also happy to announce Jum'a Prayers in Pasadena starting TODAY at United Methodist Church at 1 p.m.




We look forward to seeing you and your loved ones this Ramadan.


In peace,
Islamic Center of Southern California


P.S. STAY INFORMED.  Please forward this newsletter to your friends so they can join our mailing list.




As we continue hosting community iftars this Ramadan, we kindly request that you please donate generously to our Iftar Sponosorship program. These iftars are a cornerstone of our Ramadan experience at the Islamic Center. After a long day of fasting, we look forward to sitting down and sharing a meal with our brothers and sisters. This year, we are committed to sponsoring iftar three days a week (Friday - Sunday) and we are financially dependent upon the contributions of our community in order to do so. Thank you for supporting your Islamic Center this Ramadan.
