United Nations humanitarian agencies has warned of humanitarian disaster in north-western Pakistan, where an estimated 1400 people have already died in the region's worst flooding in living memory and more heavy rains are forecast.

More than 3 million people have been affected. People immediately need food, water, shelter, health facilities, medicines and sanitation.

Insha Allah, we will be collecting donations after Friday prayers that will be sent to Pakistan by the Islamic Relief USA. Zakat money can also be donated for this humanitarian cause.

The prophet ﷺ said, "...He who helps his brother in [times of] need, Allaah will help him in [times of] need. And He who helps a Muslim to solve a hardship, Allaah (ﷻ) will solve a hardship for him on the Day of Judgment."

Alhamdulillah we are nearing the blessed month of Ramadan. On Tuesday, August 10th, the moon will set after the sun sets in most of the world, including Makkah and North America, providing a strong possibility for visibility.

We will carefully monitor for crescent moon sightings and make an official announcement on the IAR website as soon as information is available, but no later than 9:00pm ET on Tuesday, August 10th inshallah.

If we can confirm the new crescent moon sighting, we will begin Taraweeh on Tuesday evening and begin fasting on Wednesday, August 11. However, if we cannot confirm the new crescent moon sighting, then we will complete 30 days of the month of Shabaan and the first day of fasting will be on Thursday, August 12th.
