The first day of Fasting of Ramadan this year is likely to be on July 9, 2013, insha Allah. The purpose of this notice is to inform you on the dates well into the future so that you can plan in advance to take time off to celebrate Eid with your families near and far, and so that you can plan and make intentions to perform Hajj in future, insha Allah. Below the table is an explanation on our Islamic Center's policy in determining and observing these important dates.
The Islamic Center of East Lansing follows the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) in determining the 1st day of Ramadan as well as the day for both the Eids. ISNA in turn is guided by the Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) in determining these dates.
1. For Ramadan and Eid-Al-Fitr, the FCNA uses astronomical calculations to determine the date.
2. For Eid-Al-Adha, the FCNA follows announcement by the Hajj authorities in Makkah and celebrate the Eid after the day of Arafah.
Eid Prayer Venue:
Based on the size of our congregation and several other factors such as parking, convenience, familiarity and the community's feedback, Lansing Center in Downtown Lansing has been determined as the preferred venue for our EId prayer and celebrations.We have reserved Lansing Center as a venue for Eid prayers for the next 9 years for all but two of the dates listed in the table above. There are some factors owing to which Lansing Center can become unavailable to us as explained below.
When Lansing Center has a multi-day event, that will take precedence over our one day reservation. We cannot get into a contract 9 months prior to the date we need. As soon as we get into a 9 month window of the above dates, we can sign the contract and the venue will be confirmed for us. Until such time, they will treat our reservation as a 'hold', not 'confirmed'. While we have Lansing Center confirmed for Eid-Al-Fitr this year, at this time we have been told that it is unavailable for Eid-Al-Adha, due to a multi-day event reservation.
At such times, we will have to look at alternate venues such as AIM HIGH/The SUMMIT Sports complex etc. |
