Prayer Times

September.30.2015 - Eid ul-Ad'ha

Masjid Ar-Rahman, as usual, has had an eventful time during the hajj days. Jazak Allahu khayran to all of you who were able to join us at our events and have made them a joyous experience for all.

 

Day of Arafah

On the 9th day of Dhul Hijjah, the day of Arafah, Masjid Ar-Rahman brought everyone together for a community iftar. What a great way to engourage the fasting of this blessed day, as the Prophet [saws] advised that those who fast the day of Arafah two years worth of his sins will be forgiven, one year before it and the year after it. SubhanAllah.

 

Eid ul-Ad'ha Prayer

Due to poor weather conditions, the Eid ul-Ad'ha prayer was performed inside the masjid at 8:30am followed by the serving of sweet & savory refreshments. Alhamdulilah, the festive atmosphere was felt throughout the masjid from the laughter of the children to the well wishes & duas of the sisters. May Allah accept from all of us our efforts and ibadas. Ameen. The kids were looking forward to dig in to their goodies that were distributed to them. Before the festivities concluded, the goodie bags were also shared with the masjid neighbourhood, door-to-door. 

 

Eid ul-Ad'ha Celebration

On Sunday September 27th, the masjid hosted the Eid Celabration Party from 11:00am-4:00pm. Alhamdulilah, the weather was in our favour, Allah made it possible for us to enjoy the sun outdoors. Lots of food to enjoy, the ud'hiya [qurbani] meat was served among other specialties. The kids enjoyed their time making 'Eid' cards at the crafting station as well as their time on the playground.

 

Last but not least, Masjid Ar-Rahman Foundation of North Vancouver & Noor al-Mu'minaat sisters section would like to make a special mention of our committed and tireless volunteers. The volunteer group of brothers and sisters who had come early to set up, helped throughout the events to better serve the community and those who stayed late to clean up after each event, they have worked so hard to make the Eid events as smooth as possible for the organizers and as enjoyable as possible for the guests. We cannot thank you enough for your continuous commitment. We ask Allah [swt] to protect you and your families and keep you steadfast in the guidance of Islam and we ask Him give you the highest level of paradise. May Allah [swt] always give us strength to serve our community in the best ways possible. Ameen.

Mar.21.2015 - Spring Fun at the Masjid

Masha'Allah. Another successful event at the masjid came to a beautiful end.

The two days were jam packed with activities that showcased the children's creative side, their sportsmanship, team playing skills and much more.

The kids who attended this event were part of an outdoor trip to the closest field/playground, learned the importance of loving & respecting their parents, planted green peas in their beautifully decorated pots, competed in relay games, had fun with our home-made 'gooey dough'' & many more. They ended their days while indulging over pizza dinner with their peers.

Check out the photos of the event by clicking HERE.

However, sometimes you can see the result of all our efforts in the smallest ways. After almost everyone had left, 9 year-old Mai came running back in the masjid. She was explaining that Sadja’s plant was left behind. Little Sarah said that Sajda had already left with her family. After a short exchange between the two girls, they both realized that the plant cannot be left behind, the plant needs to be waterend and taken care of. Without hesitation little Sarah volunteered to take Sajda’s plant home & care for it until she meets Sajda. SubhanAllah, I was left speechless as I was listening to this conversation between the two little girls. Masha’Allah, what an act of mercy towards this plant; this plant wasn’t even given life yet. This reminds us:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The Compassionate One has mercy on those who are merciful. If you show mercy to those who are on the earth, He Who is in the heaven will show mercy to you.”

[Sahih Hadith - Abu Dawood]

May Allah, Ar-Rahman, help us be compassionate & merciful to everyone and everything in this dunya so that we earn His mercy, the only mercy, in the Day of Resurrection. Ameen.

Sep.03.2014 - Qur'an & Tajweed for Sisters ONLY

 

Do you struggle to recite & understand the Qur’an?
Do you want to improve and perfect your recitation?
Do you give the Qur’an its due right and fulfill an important obligation of Islam?

 

Starting Saturday Sep. 06/2014, join us for our weekly Qur’an & Tajweed classes to learn how to recite the Noble Qur’an upon the way of the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sal-lam) who received it from Jibreel who received it from Allah (SWT).

 

 “...And recite the Qur’an with Tarteel (with measured recitation).” 

[Surat ul-Muzzamil 73:4]


Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, relates that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sal-lam) said: 

“Verily the one who recites the Qur’an beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. And as for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he will have TWICE that reward.”

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]


Certainly, recitation of the Glorious Qur’an is one of the best ways a Muslima can get closer to her Lord, the Exalted and Honoured, and learning the art of its recital is from the most honoured studies due to its relation to the Book of Allah (SWT).
The purpose of the Science of Tajweed in essence, is to protect the tongue from mistakes in reciting the book of Allah (SWT), to make the reciter proficient in reciting the Qur’an, observing the correct pronunciation of every letter with the rulings and characteristics which apply to each letter, without any exaggeration or deficiency.

 

The participant will learn:

  • Etiquettes for reciting the Holy Qur’an

  • Proper pronunciation and Attributes of the Arabic letters

  • Rules of Tajweed 

  • Practice reading the Qur’an by applying the rules

  • Read and understand the Ayat of the Qur'an

  • Learn the Qur’anic vocabulary 

  • Essentials of Qur’anic Arabic grammar 

 

Certificates awarded upon successful completion of the course.


May Allah help us all to give His Book its right when we recite it and make reciting it more beloved to our tongues than anything else. Ameen.

July24.2014 - Ramadhan

Alhamdulilah! It is a blessing of Allah that He, the Almighty, has made it possible for us to experience the sweetness of this holy month of Ramadhan with our Muslim brothers and sisters. Masjid Ar-Rahman has hosted daily iftars which has brought our community closer together in celebration of this sacred month. This not only did it bring together the North Shore Muslim community, we have had Mulsims from all over the Lower Mainland join us for iftar. This would not have been possible without our dedicated volunteers that spend hours of everyday in the service of our community.

We have been fortunate to have a variety reciters for the taraweeh/night prayers this year. Our masjid has been open for those who wished to participate in I'tikaf during the last ten days.

As the month of Ramadan has come to a close, we ask Allah (swt) to forgive us all for our shortcomings and accept our fast, prayers and good deeds in this blessed month. May He make it possible for us to reach and observe the blessings of the next Ramadhan.

Ameen.
