We are approximately halfway through the month of Ramadan and we pray that you and your loved ones are finding connection and renewal through your fasting and prayers. Join us tonight at maghrib for another community iftar - and tomorrow for our third all-night Spiritual Night program.
If you are a high school youth, we encourage you to attend our MYG Spiritual Night program on Saturday at 11 p.m. following taraweeh prayers. This week, we will invite Umar Hakim to discuss "A Fasting Attitude: Ramadan is more than fasting from eating or drinking"
We look forward to seeing you and your loved ones this Ramadan.
In peace,
Islamic Center of Southern California

As we continue hosting community iftars this Ramadan, we kindly request that you please donategenerously 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.
