Ramadan Mubarak!

More than 20 people gathered to sight the hilal of Ramadan on a cool Friday evening.

Clear skies gave a perfect view of a slim crescent low in the horizon shortly after maghrib. Mercury and Venus were also shining brightly nearby.



We even got a visit from security when someone reported a rowdy group only to find out that it was a bunch of Muslims getting excited about a cresent moon.

Ramadan Mubarak, dear Muslims.
We made it!

May Allah allow us closer to His presence,
increase our love of His messenger ﷺ,
and deepen our connection to His books of revelation and nature.

Ameen

We’ve been (re)using these trays for more than 10 Ramadans!

It’s been more than 10 years since we’ve been using these stainless steel food trays when attending community iftars.

Imagine the impact of a whole masjid making this small change!

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Take up good deeds only as much as you are able, for the best deeds are those done regularly even if they are few.”
– Sunan Ibn Mājah


May Allah accept this as a small, consistent deed. Ameen 🤲🏽

Would you mind if your masjid started using reusable plates for Ramadan iftars?

My Two Iftar Companions

I take these two to every iftar.

Here are the basic, simple tools of a Green Ramadan: a reusable water bottle and a stainless steel spork.

Whether I can fix my own plate at an iftar or I’m given a pre-packaged iftar meal, I never need a single-use water bottle or throw-away cutlery.

I usually just carry the reusable water bottle or put it in a backpack. The spork, I can just stash in my purse. It has a cover with a small carabiner attached.

Traveling or staying local, Sip & Stick are my two faithful companions.

(Truth be told, I usually take these two wherever I go all year round.)
