Selamat Berpuasa and First Iftar Invitation
Salam members and friends,
First of Ramadan 1446 AH
Just a reminder that the 1st of Ramadan will begin tonight after sunset, (eve of Ramadan), which means Taraweeh prayers will also start tonight.
Hence the first day of fasting will begin at dawn tomorrow, Saturday, March 1, 2025.
We would like to wish all our members and Muslim friends “Selamat Berpuasa”.
Zakat Fitrah

Please try to pay your zakat fitrah by Monday, March 24, 2025, so the zakat committee has a few days to disburse the zakat collected to eligible zakat recipients.
