Tarawih Etiquette: For those leaving before 20 raka of Tarawih are complete, please keep the noise down and do not engage in conversation in the prayer halls or just outside the doors to the prayer halls as the noise is disturbing to those who are continuing to pray. Out of respect for the Masjid Neighbors, please do not gather outside the Masjid after Tarawih Prayers as the noise is disturbing to our neighbors.

Children and Tarawih Prayers: We request that children younger than 10 years of age, NOT be brought for Tarawih Prayer. Your children should remain at your side during the prayer. Children found wandering inside or outside the masjid will be returned to their parents by our patrolling security person.

After the success of last year, Alhamdulillah, IAOS has arranged two locations again for Taraweeh prayer for the Muslim Community in Regina during the month of Ramadan this year.

1. IAOS Main Masjid (3273 Montague Street, Regina S4S 1Z)
2. Glencairn Neighbourhood Centre (2626 Dewdney Ave E, Regina, SK S4N 4V5)

Please note: The both locations will follow the same Taraweeh prayer schedule and will have separate space for the Sisters.

IAOS has introduced the Ijazah program in teaching Quran for whoever is a strong Hafiz with proper Tajweed. Our Imam Sheikh Mohamed will provide the Ijazah on behalf of IAOS.

What is an Ijazah in Quran?

It is a certificate, given by a qualified Qari of the Quran and Tajweed, with an Isnaad (Chine of reliable narrators), from me up to the Prophet (PBUH).

Conditions of granting an Ijazah:

1)   Reciting the whole Quran from Al Fatiha to Al Nas, from the student’s own memorization.

2)   The whole Quran must be 100% accurate and proper with Tajweed without any mistakes.

3)   Memorizing Matn (Poem) المقدمة الجزرية in Tajweed by Imam Ibn Al Jazri and understanding its meaning.

4)   The student must be trained and qualified to teach others after he is granted his Ijaza.

The importance of the Ijazah program:

InshAllah the Muslim Community in Regina will have (qualified) Huffaz that we can trust to lead Taraweeh and teach Quran whenever is needed.
