Assalaamu Alaikum Dear Community Members,

We are aware of reports regarding the active shooter incident at the Islamic Center of San Diego earlier today. The safety of our community remains our highest priority.

Campus will close today at 3:15 PM following Orange Crescent School dismissal. All afterschool programs, ISOC offices, Barakah Cafe, and GR8 Finds will be closed for the remainder of the day.

Prayers will continue as scheduled. Please park on the street, as campus gates will be locked, and kindly leave campus immediately after prayers.

May Allah (SWT) protect our community and Ummah, keep everyone safe, and grant peace and security to all.

Assalam Alykum good people. It is currently the best time of the week to make Duaa. Let's try to detach ourselves from our busy lives for 10-30 minutes to turn to Allah in prayer. 

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Friday is twelve hours in which there is no Muslim slave who asks Allah (SWT) for something but He will give it to him, so seek it in the last hour after 'Asr."

‎عنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ سَاعَةً لاَ يُوجَدُ فِيهَا عَبْدٌ مُسْلِمٌ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ شَيْئًا إِلاَّ آتَاهُ إِيَّاهُ فَالْتَمِسُوهَا آخِرَ سَاعَةٍ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
