"Indeed, We sent the Qur'an down during the Night of Decree. And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter. Peace it is until the emergence of dawn." ~ Qur'an 97: 1-5

Children around the world This blessed month, we also raise our hands and pray for the children coming to our shores seeking refuge. The Shura Council joins the interfaith communities in declaring this weekend as a weekend of compassion and 

prayer for unaccompanied migrant children. We urge the community to join a national letter writing campaign to let the children know they are not forgotten. Click here to write a letter.  

 

Remember the men, women and children of Gaza in your prayers. The Shura Council urges the community and the Masajid to organize special prayers for the affected in Gaza during the daily congregation at evening, midnight and dawn prayers. We also urge families to hold special prayers at their homes, particularly with their children. Remember the children of Gaza.
