Only 1 Month Until Ramadan!
βO Allah, bless us in Rajab and Sha’ban, and allow us to reach Ramadan.β
Alhamdulillah, the hilal (new moon) for Sha’ban was sighted last night! This means we are now officially only one month away from the most blessed time of the year.
β¨ Mark Your Calendars: The first day of Ramadan is expected to be Wednesday, February 18, 2026, InshaβAllah.
π What to Expect at IOST this Year:
We are working hard to make this Ramadan a spiritually uplifting experience for the whole family. Be on the lookout for official announcements in the coming days regarding:
π² Daily Community Iftars: Join us as we break fasts together every evening.
π Special Taraweeh Announcements: Details on our huffadh and prayer schedules.
π Youth & Childrenβs Events: Special programming during the month of Ramadan, and after Eid to keep our children connected to the Masjid.
π€ Join the Ramadan Volunteer Team!
A month of this scale requires a dedicated team of volunteers to ensure everything runs smoothly and safely. We are currently looking for help (from both brothers & sisters) in the following areas:
π Traffic Flow & Parking Management
π‘οΈ Security & Safety
π§Έ Childcare during Taraweeh
If you would like to earn the immense rewards of serving the fasting community, please reach out to Imam Anas at π§ anas@iost.org.
