In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful Ramadan During a Pandemic
A Ramadan Message from Ameer of IONA,Greetings of Peace,
Ramadan is a special blessed month. This year, however, Ramadan is going to be unique due to the health crisis we are facing. The communal services such as the evening congregational prayers (taraweeh) and community dinners at IONA will be suspended and perhaps the Eid celebration as well. However, let us not let COVID 19 threaten the spirit of Ramadan and Eid.
We can keep the spirit of Ramadan alive by attending the virtual sermons, lectures and talks that are being offered at IONA through live stream feeds. You can connect with families virtually using the smart phones’ apps while staying safe and healthy.
Your health is of utmost importance. We want to make sure that you remain safe. Preservation of the soul is one of the objectives of shariah.
Regarding the issue of fasting this Ramadan please note that fear of contracting the Corona Virus is not an excuse to give up fasting. Healthy people are required to fast, while sick people are exempted.
We are going through rough trying times but it will be over soon, In sha Allah. Stay safe and healthy and have a very blessed Ramadan, Ramadan Mubarak.
