As-salaamu Alaikum –

Ramadan Kareem (Have a generous Ramadan) everyone!

We are so happy to be entering into the blessed month of Ramadan. It provides all of us ample opportunities to grow God consciousness at individual level and increase togetherness and bonding at the community level.

Our teams in all three locations; MAPS Redmond, MAPS Seattle, and MAPS Snohomish County have planned a full range of spiritual and social activities. In addition, MAPS Redmond is hosting an Interfaith Iftar on 3/17 at 5:00pm for you to invite your co-workers, neighbors, your kids’ school principals, teachers, and friends.

I highly encourage you to go through this booklet to learn about details of every activity and participate with your families. In this month, the foot traffic in all our facilities peak, hence your cooperation with volunteers would be highly appreciated. It will help make this Ramadan safe, peaceful, and happy for all our attendees.

During this Ramadan, as we joyously observe the holy month, let us be mindful of our brothers and sisters in Gaza enduring an unimaginable level of genocide. May Allah SWT bring an end to their suffering, grant them freedom from oppression, and reunite them with their homes. Alongside our daily community iftars, we urge everyone to contribute to the cause by donating to approved organizations collecting funds on various nights at MAPS.

If we can be of any other service to you in this month, please do let us know, we’ll do our best to accommodate you, Insha’Allah (God willing).

JazakAllahu Khairan (May Allah SWT reward you all)

President, MAPS Board of Directors
