HADITH Join us on Saturday night May 25th at Khadijah Hall after 8 Raka's Jabir bin Abdullah narrated: “The [email protected] Messenger of Allah went to Makkah in the Year of the Conquest, so he fasted until he reached Kura Al- Ghamim and the people were fasting with him. Then it was said to him: ‘The fast has become difficult for the people, and they are watching you to see what you will do.’ So after Asr, he called for a cup of water and drank it while the people were looking at him. Some of them broke the fast while some of them continued their fasting. It was conveyed to him that people were still fasting, so he said: “Those are the disobedient.’”

Executive Board (EB) Report May 24, 2019

Assalamu ‘alaikum

Our first fundraiser of this Ramadan was held on Friday, May 17. A total of approximately $380K was raised. There will be one more fundraiser later in the month inshaAllah.

Qiyam began from Tuesday, May 21. For the first few nights, qiyam begins at 3:00 am. Starting Saturday, May 25 qiyam will begin at 2:45 am. During qiyam hours only doors 14, 16 and 19 will be open. As per our tradition, suhoor is being served after qiyam.

I’tekaf this year begins Saturday May 25 evening. Those who are assigned locations for I’tekaf can bring their belongings into the masjid after Asr on May 25. Registration forms were made available beginning Monday May 21. Location assignments will be published on May 24, Friday after maghrib. The annual Eid bazaar will be held on Saturday May 25 from 11 am till 4 pm. There will more than 70 booths inshaAllah.

Executive Board meetings during Ramadan are brief- er. Two salient decisions were taken in the meeting past week.

First, the board resolved that the MCA stock account (where stock donations are received) shall be acces- sible to the Treasurer of the EB, the Treasurer of the BOT and the Account Manager. This is necessary for prompt processing of the donations and acknowl- edgment to donors.

Second, we estimated that about $115K will be received in fitra this year from our community. Based on this estimate the board resolved to disburse this amount among various organizations in advance so that the fitra reaches recipients ahead of Eid.

11 Countries, 900 + Orphaned Children, 100% Passion

Ramadan is the month where we seek to come closer to our Creator by doing all acts of worship more intently and intensely. Two of those acts are giving zakat and sadaqah. There are over 20 verses in the Quran that talk about the importance of caring for orphans.

"Verily we feed them out of love for Him, we do not expect from you reward nor gratitude" (The Holy Quran 76:9)

During this blessed month when the reward is multiplied many folds, we invite you to sponsor HAPPINESS!

1. ZAKAT There's no better time to make zakat contribution than in this month. Once you select that your contribution is zakat, we will designate the funds only for projects that follow zakat's re- strictions. 2. SPONSOR IFTAR (Breaking of the fast) in any of our homes. Each home has about 3040 kids with the exception of the one in Khaligong, Bangladesh where we support 327 children. For $75100 you can sponsor an iftaar for each home. If you'd like to sponsor the 360 children, the cost is $450 for an iftaar. 3. EID GIFTS For $1020 , you can sponsor Eid clothes, shoes, or a toy for our children. We encourage our children to choose their favorite options to make Ramadan and Eid extra special.

7 8 9 10 THINK, SORT, THROW Written by the MCA Sustainability Committee

In MCA, you see green, blue and black-liner bins Do you wonder, in each of them, what goes in?

Do you wonder why we want you to know? Why you should think before you throw?

It’s to protect our planet from all of that trash That harms our environment – it’s really so sad!

In landfills and oceans, the trash goes in And our health it affects; marine life it kills

So let’s not be wasteful; since we must have trash Remember, there’s the bad and the not-so-bad The not-so-bad waste is for blue and green bins It can be made useful if put in the right bin

In the blue - clean cans, bottles, paper, food-box Recyclable plastics, foil, coffee-cup tops

In the green, those items good for compost They’ll enhance soil quality once they rot

Food-scraps, paper cups, plates, compostable spoons, forks Go in the green bin as they’ll help plants to grow

As for the black-liner bins, this is useless stuff This is the one, its volume we must cut

Such as disposable plastics, plastic bags and cling wrap Wrappers, styrofoam, plates and cups that are waxed

Just a moment of thought before throwing it in Is all it takes, so please choose the right bin

It’s really not difficult, once this habit we form We can save our planet from so much harm! ~•~•~•~ Remember what our beloved Prophet (s.a.w) said: “Do not regard any good deed as insignificant..”
