The Nights of Qadr will coincide this week with the nights of Wednesday the 19th, Friday the 21st, and Sunday the 23rd. The first two Nights of Qadr will feature our usual program format, and their topics will be the fatal wounding of Imam Ali (as) on Wednesday and the commemoration of his martyrdom on Friday. On the night of Sunday the 23rd, the program will be extended throughout the night, ending with suhoor (meal before dawn) and fajr (morning) prayer.
Also please note that this year Zakat al-Fitrah (mandatory charity for Eid) is $15 per person, to be paid on the day of Eid.
The IECOC began its nightly, month-long Ramadan program on Sunday, June 29th. Every program begins with a Qur’an recitation circled followed by a reading of Dua al-Iftitah​ before maghrib (evening), at which time prayers will be offered and iftār (dinner) will be served. After iftār, there will be a lecture by Sayed Mahdi Al-Qazwini. This program will continue every day until the end of Ramadan.
