InshaAllah the 10th day of Muharram (Day of Ashura) will be Tuesday, July 16th. The preferred Sunnah is to fast the day of Ashura (Tuesday 7/16) and before (Monday 7/15) or the day after (Wednesday 7/17) with it.

Ibn Abbas (ra) said:
“I do not know Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) singling out any day's fast and considering it more excellent than another, except this day (the Day of Ashura) and this month, meaning the month of Ramadan. (Muslim)

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) also said,
“For fasting the Day of Ashura, I hope that Allah will accept it as expiation for the previous year.”* (Muslim)

Before the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) left this world, he expressed his desire, that if is alive next year, he would fast a day before or the day after the Day of Ashura.

Al-Farooq Masjid's Feed the Homless Program feeds around 220 to 300 homeless people every other Sunday. Please help us sustain this effort by donating at this link: https://us.mohid.co/ga/atlanta/afm/masjid/online/donation and select the category as 'Feed the Homeless'.

You can also volunteer to help in the distribution by meeting at Al-Farooq Masjid's elevator lobby at 10am to pack around 220-300 lunch boxes for homeless and then head to the parks in downtown Atlanta to distribute the food.

Alhamdulilah, all the programs and initiatives that take place at Al-Farooq Masjid are run by a dedicated team of volunteers that take time out of their busy lives for the sake of Allah. We are always in need of additional volunteers to launch new initiatives and expand on our existing programs. If you would like to get involved in your masjid and earn some reward in the process as well insha'Allah, please signup here: http://bit.ly/afm_volunteer
