In an expression of gratitude, we would like to thank all of you who have participated in this year's Ramadan event in any way. Here is a brief report on the financial campaign with a goal of $15,000:

• Thanks to God and your assistance, the estimated amount of donations and charities is approximately $18,335, which is significantly higher than the financial campaign's goal.

• The expenses for organizing the programs during the blessed month of Ramadan (donations, hospitality, utensils) for 9 events were approximately $8,785.

• The remaining amount of $9,550, after deducting the expenses, will, God willing, be used to cover the ongoing expenses of the center (amounting to over $3,100 per month).

With the hope of the acceptance of your prayers and worship, inshAllah, we will also host our dear believers this year in performing the Eid al-Fitr prayer (after the sighting of the crescent moon).

• The announcement of the arrival of the month of Shawwal will be announced soon.
• The Eid prayer will be held at 7:00 a.m.
• Breakfast will be served after the prayer.

- The amount of Zakat al-Fitr and Kaffarah
Payment of the original amount or money equivalent to three kilograms of the dominant foodstuff (such as wheat or rice) per family member to the poor.
Some religious authorities consider it necessary to calculate the price of food at the local cost of living of the person responsible.

- Suggested amounts for Zakat al-Fitr and Kaffarah
Zakat al-Fitr: $13 per person
Kaffarah for non-intentional breaking of fast: $3.5 per day
Kaffarah for intentional breaking of fast: $210 per day

- How to pay Zakat al-Fitr
Direct payment to the poor by the responsible person is preferred. However, if transferring money from Canada is inconvenient, you can donate your Zakat and Kaffarah to:

The Al-Qaim Charity Foundation at the following website: https://al-qaim.org/ (https://al-qaim.org/)

Please refrain from sending Zakat al-Fitr to the account or email of the Calgary Towhid Centre.

“You should avoid shedding blood without justification, because nothing is more inviting of Divine retribution, greater in (evil) consequence, and more effective in the decline of prosperity and cutting short of life than the shedding of blood without justification. On the Day of Judgement Allah the Glorified, would commence giving His judgement among the people with the cases of bloodshed committed by them.”
