There will also be the recitation of Dua Jawshan Kabeer in parallel in both the ladies and gents at 10.15pm. You are requested to participate as it is highly recommended to recite this Dua on the 1^st eve of Ramadhan.

Ladies:

There will be a parallel programme for the ladies starting from Tuesday, eve of 1^st Ramadhan. The main lecture will be delivered by Aalima Raziya Batool Najafi of Qum. She will also conduct tafseer sessions in the ELC during Darsa, starting on Wednesday eve of 2^nd Ramadhan.

Just as Marthiyas and Nauhas reverberated in our houses and cars during Muharram and Safar, we should aim to have recitation of the Holy Quran and Duas reverberating around us as we enter a period of Spiritual Blessings – the months of Rajab, Shaban and Ramadhan.

With this in mind, the Jamaat takes pleasure in launching a YOUTH DUA DRIVE, YDD, which will train our youngsters in the recitation of Duas leading upto the Holy month of Ramadhan.
