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 ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Dear ISOC Community,
Asalaamu alaikum wa rahmatAllah wa barakatu,
As we reflect on the past week and the close of a truly special Ramadan, we want to extend our sincere gratitude to each and every one of you. Your presence, generosity, and commitment helped make this Ramadan and Eid a meaningful and memorable experience for our entire community.
Alhamdulillah, from the first night of Taraweeh to the final moments of the last ten nights, the masjid was filled with worship, connection, and a strong sense of unity. Seeing our community come together—families, youth, and elders alike—was a powerful reminder of what makes ISOC so special.
Ramadan & Eid Highlights:
Welcomed over 60,000 congregants throughout the 30 days of Ramadan
Served over 20,000 meals to our community
Heard beautiful Taraweeh recitations throughout the month
Held powerful and spiritual Qiyam nights throughout Ramadan
Experienced a moving Khatm Al-Qur’an night, including a beautiful and powerful du’a concluding the completion of the Qur’an
Successfully met the majority of our Ramadan fundraising goals thanks to your generosity
Celebrated Eid with over 5,000 attendees in prayer, unity, and joy
This past week’s Eid was a joyful conclusion to the month—filled with Takbeerat, smiles, and a true sense of community. We are grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make the day run smoothly.
None of this would have been possible without you. Whether you volunteered, donated, attended programs, or supported behind the scenes, your contributions made a lasting impact. We also extend a special thank you to our dedicated volunteers, staff, and partners who worked tirelessly throughout the month and on Eid day.
As we move forward, we encourage you to stay connected with ISOC. Your feedback is incredibly important as we plan for future Ramadans and continue improving how we serve our community.
Please take a few minutes to complete our Ramadan survey and share your experience:
https://forms.gle/15GRa5oR9CbdhMhH9
Your input will directly help guide our efforts and ensure we continue to grow and better serve you in the years to come.
May Allah accept all of our Ibadaat, grant us continued Barakah, and allow us to witness many more Ramadans together.

Join the OC Muslims team for the largest hunger awareness walk in OC — FeedOC. 
The walk is organized by Second Harvest Food Bank. Alhamdulillah, many of our Masajid already partner with them to support the 1 in 8 people in OC facing food insecurity. 

But as a broader Muslim community, we’re not always visible among the volunteers—and this is a great opportunity to change that.

📅 Saturday, April 18 8:30am
📍 Tanaka Farms, Irvine

📋 Crescent Gardens Cemetery Petition - Signatures Needed

🔗 https://www.change.org/p/support-for-crescent-gardens-cemetery

We, the undersigned residents of the Inland Empire, respectfully urge approval of the proposed Crescent Gardens Cemetery to serve our growing community's burial needs.

This project addresses a critical shortage of cemetery space in our region while providing essential access for the 120,000+ Muslim families in Riverside County who currently face long journeys for religious burial services.

The developer has demonstrated commitment to our community by incorporating meaningful changes based on resident feedback, including sealed burial vaults and enhanced environmental safeguards that exceed standard requirements.

Crescent Gardens offers significant neighborhood benefits:
• Consistent with county zoning and land use designations
• Infrastructure improvements including upgraded roads and water lines
• Enhanced wildfire safety measures and defensible space
• Regional trail access and preserved open space character

Your signature supports respectful, dignified burial options for all families while ensuring our community receives the safety and infrastructure improvements this project delivers.

Important note: No donations are required to sign. Your signature is counted immediately upon clicking "Sign" - any follow-up screens about "chipping in" are optional and go directly to Change.org, not our project.

Thank you for standing with our community's need for accessible, respectful burial services.

✨ Don’t miss the reward of Laylatul Qadr.

One of the greatest blessings of the last ten nights of Ramadan is Laylatul Qadr — a night better than a thousand months. Since we don’t know which night it falls on, you can automate your donations and ensure you catch its reward.

How it works:
1️⃣ Choose any amount to donate daily
2️⃣ The amount is automatically charged each day
3️⃣ Rest easy knowing your charity continues every night

💫 Make the intention once, and let the rewards multiply.

Start your daily donations here:

May Allah accept your generosity and allow us all to witness and benefit from Laylatul Qadr. 🤲

Alhamdulillah! Yesterday, ISOC shared a small token of appreciation with our community by passing out kheer/pudding after prayers. 🍚

This was simply our way of saying thank you to everyone who continues to support the masjid, attend programs, volunteer, and give for the sake of Allah. Your generosity and commitment are what keep ISOC thriving.

May Allah reward our community abundantly and place barakah in everything you give and do. 🤲
