Ramadan Announcement

The commencement of Ramadan will be announced on Tuesday 15th May 2018 between Asr and Maghrib.
Although the Clonskeagh Mosque has announced the 1st day of Ramadan based on astronmical calculations on Wednesday 16th May 2018 , all other Mosques and Islamic Centres in Ireland will announce Ramadan according to the Moon-sighting.

Therefore we will announce Ramadan only if a Muslim majority country makes an announcement on 29th Shabaan (Tuesday 15th May 2018 at 7PM) for Ramadan. If this does not happen 30 days of Shabaan will be completed according to the Sunnah.

UPDATE:

There has been no positive moon-sighting in any Muslim majority country and neither in Ireland or in Europe. Therefore tomorrow is 30 of Shabaan as per Sunnah of The Holy Prophet ﷺ.

First day of Ramadan in Ireland is
Thursday 17 May 2018

We wish you a very blessed Ramadan.

Ramadan Kareem!

An Important Reminder by the Shaykh on the commencement of the Blessed Month of Ramadan.

An Islamic Perspective on St. Patrick’s Day

Posted on: March 17th, 2018 by shaykh No Comments

On the occasion of St. Patrick’s Day, Ireland’s national day, we wish everyone a very blessed St Patrick’s Day.

On we all celebrate and . Isn’t it amazing that we celebrate and on a day that is associated with an who was not but made his home and contributed positively to the Society?

is truly a country of (a hundred thousand welcomes)! It welcomed a non-Irish Immigrant in a unique way that it now celebrates the day of that special Immigrant as its National Day !

Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh go léir !

Is bealach dóchais agus inspioráide é Naomh Pádraig do gach imirceach. Is é ceiliúradh an lae inniu ná caitheamh na héagsúlachta.

See here an interesting talk delivered by the Shaykh of the Islamic Centre Ireland on the Muslim approach to St Patrick’s Day:

Islamic Centre launches Fatwa against Female Genital Mutilation

Posted on: February 13th, 2018 by shaykh No Comments

 

In a brave and timely move, the Islamic Centre of Ireland last night issued a fatwa declaring all forms of FGM as un-Islamic and sinful. Shaykh Dr Umar al-Qadri authored the fatwa, calling for Muslims to speak against the precise, stop it if they are aware of its occurrence, and report any knowledge of it to the authorities. The fatwa was issued in response to irresponsible and unfactual comments by Dr Ali Selim on RTÈ’s Primetime show, where he appeared to defend the practice. After a period of confusion and intense discussion on social media, the Islamic Centre of Ireland’s initiative and fatwa goes a long way to reclaim the voice of mainstream Islam from such divisive voices.
