Dear ICOB Community,

Alhamdulillah, we pray that Allah (SWT) blesses us to witness another Ramadan shortly.

May Allah (SWT) accept our intentions, fasting, Dua and all good deeds. May Allah (SWT) make this as our best Ramadan and give barakah in our time, forgive our sins and reward us all with the highest ranks in Jannat Al-Firdous. Ameen.

The ICOB Board and Imams wish you the best during this Ramadan pray Allah (SWT) to keep us connected during these difficult times.
