The Friday prayer service (Salat-ul-Jumu'ah) is officially closed to the general public.
Until current lockdown restrictions ease, our staff members and regular volunteers will be assembling to perform the requisite Friday prayers as a means of maintaining the sanctity of Jumu'ah. Whilst maintaining all of the requirements as mandated by authorities, this is the best we can do given the nature of our current circumstances.
Everyone else is encouraged to pray Dhuhr at home with their families.
Staff & Volunteers:
Please register for this week's Jumu'ah services at Alqalam Islamic Community Center. Remember to come early, as latecomers may not be admitted, even if registered.
The short reminder in English begins at 12:30pm, followed by the Arabic khutbah and prayers.
Everything is scheduled to be completed before 1:00pm, bi ithnillah.
