Dear Brothers and Sisters

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatu Allahi wa Barakatuh

First we would like to extend our apology to al members of our community for any confusion that maybe caused by the lack of communication regarding the program to arrange congregants for prayers at NMA Masjid due to recent lockdown measures.

We are reaching to you again to let you know that we will continue to use both the main Masjid hall (main level) AND the lower space to perform prayers. Attendance will be on basis of first come. Please use front door to enter the main level and back door to enter the lower level. Signs are posted at masjid entrances to direct congregants.

– All prayers including Jummah and Taraweeh prayers will be performed at the Masjid with consideration to the NEW limited capacity of 10 congregants at all times.

Main hall (9 congregants plus Imam) and Lower hall (10 congregants) per prayer.

– Jummah prayers will be performed on Friday (1:30 PM; 2:00 PM and 2:30 PM).

– There will be two Taraweeh prayers (10:00 PM and 10:45 PM) including Ishaa prayer. Note: start time will change by 15-minute interval in the coming weeks.

– IFTAR will continue at masjid with consideration to same capacity limit noted above for each level and strict adherence to social distancing please.

Please note that the Masjid doors will be locked (signed will be posted) once we reached the limited capacity. Anyone that arrives after will not be allowed to enter. Follow posted signs for more instructions.

1) stay in your car until first group leave masjid and then you are allowed to enter masjid for the next prayer.

2) leave immediately after Fard prayer. Sunnah and Nafl prayers are to be performed at home. No social gatherings are permitted inside and outside please.

3) please follow blue markings on the floor to maintain social distancing when praying.

Stay safe

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatu Allahi wa Barakatuh.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatu Allahi wa Barakatuh. May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be with you.

The Northern Muslim Association is pleased to announce today Monday, April 12, 2021 will be the last day of Shaban 1442.  The first day of Ramadan this year is going to be Tuesday April 13, 2021 Insha Allah. Ramadan Mubarak to all of you, May Allah make fasting it easy for all of us.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic restrictions on gatherings at religious places in Ontario, the Taraweeh prayers will be performed daily at our masjid with consideration to limited capacity set by Sudbury Health Unit (i.e. 15% of the normal capacity – in our case, the maximum allowed indoor capacity at our masjid is 40 persons).  Please try to come early to be allowed inside. For your safety and the safety of others, please follow these simple tips:

1. Come prepared with wudu, bring your own prayer mat, keep your mask on and practice social distancing at all times
2. Please follow all COVID-19 Protocols and be considerate of others.
3. If you are not feeling well please pray at home.

Please Note that at this unprecedented time, in order to accommodate more people, all three Masjids in Sudbury have coordinated Taraweeh prayer – see below.

1. ICONO Masjid (South End), 1534 Pioneer Rd, Sudbury, ON P3G 1A8
2. NMA Masjid (Downtown), 468 Antwerp Ave, Sudbury, ON P3C 4N1.
3. Islamic Association of Sudbury, 755 Churchill Ave, Sudbury, ON P3A 4A1

May Allah bless and reward all Muslims.

Stay safe

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatu Allahi wa Barakatuh.
