Ramadan at DAIC

The above flyer details programming at DAIC. This year, we're excited to announce:

• Daily Quiz: Each night during Taraweeh, the Imam will ask a question about the Qur’an and Sunnah for all ages to help us grow in knowledge together. Email your answer to imam@arqum.org for a chance to be selected at random and win a small gift the following night.

• Ramadan Competition for Young Muslims: Boys and girls ages 14 and under are invited to participate in our Ramadan Competition by completing a daily checklist (including prayers, fasting, Taraweeh, and more) throughout the month. Please contact the Imam to receive a form.

• Youth Qiyam-ul-Layl: Boys and girls ages 14 and under are invited to pray 8 rak‘ahs of Qiyām al-Layl together every Friday night immediately after Taraweeh, with participants taking turns leading under the Imam’s supervision. All participants will be recognized and appreciated on the night of Eid.

Zakat-ul-Fitr

DAIC distributes Zakat-ul-Fitr (Fitrana) to eligible members of the community. If you'd like DAIC to distribute your Zakat-ul-Fitr, information is below:

• Zakat-ul-Fitr is $10 per person.

• Zakat-ul-Fitr must be received by the end of Taraweeh on Wednesday, March 18. Please do not submit it after that or we will be unable to distribute it.

• Zakat-ul-Fitr must be received via one of the following methods:

• • Online via Mohid

  • The Mohid Kiosk in the main prayer hall

  • Labeled envelopes in both prayer halls (forthcoming)

If you believe yourself to be eligible for Zakat-ul-Fitr, please email treasurer@arqum.org.

If you'd prefer to give your Zakat-ul-Fitr to an organization that distributes food, there are many qualified charities to pick from, e.g. Amoud Foundation*.

*This is an example. DAIC does not endorse any particular charity for Zakat-ul-Fitr. Please do your own due diligence before donating.
