Three White Days for the Month of Jumad Al-Awwal

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,

Just a Reminder, InshaAllah the three white days (13, 14, and 15) for the month of Jumad Al-Awwal will be from this Tuesday, April 27th - Thursday, April 29th. Try and fast them if you can.

Jareer ibn ‘Abdullaah (rAa) narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) said: “Fasting three days of each month is fasting for a lifetime, and ayaam al-beed are the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth." [Al-Nasaa'i; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheel al-Targheeb]

Qatada ibn Milhan said, "The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to command us to fast the white days: the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth." [Abu Dawud]

Ibn 'Abbas said, "The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) did not fail to fast the white days either when at home or on a journey." [an-Nasa'i]

*****There is a yahoo group titled 'ThreeWhiteDays' that will send email reminders of when these days will be observed for each month.

*Please spread the word....we are counting on you!

Asalamu Alaikum Brothers & Sisters,

The Islamic Society of Orange County and the Islamic Center of Riverside are hosting its 8^th Annual Muslim Graduation Ceremony for ALL Muslim graduates in Orange County and the Inland Empire.  This event is free of charge and it is open to all graduate levels (High School, College & Graduate Level).  We are very excited for this event, as it will bring (Insha’Allah) unity amongst the Muslims in Orange County as well as Riverside County.

We will be offering over $16,000 dollars in scholarships to the graduates this year.

We have Applications to distribute to all the graduates so they are able to register for the ceremony.
