I would like to thank actually all the brothers and the sisters from the program committee.

Tomorrow is the first night in sha Allah, that of the month of Ramadan, and the first night for the Tarawa. So we expect of course people to come and sha Allah and big numbers. I would love to request my dear brothers and sisters, the neighbors of Valley Ranch Islamic center. If you guys can walk to the masjid, please save us a parking spot and just walk and if you can carpool your neighbors living maybe an Mercer's crossing, or living maybe across the Riverside Road area, any area that we are getting our neighbors if you guys can carpool together, that would be great. Even

if you live close to VRC north and your group of people hamdulillah who would like to come together please carpool as many people as you can together so we save as many spots as we can Hamdulillah we have plenty but still you know how it happens over here. People still park on the side of the road as far as the Valley Ranch Parkway road as well too. So that's actually you know, kind of like plenty of space but still we need to wait to be safe in Charlotte you guys can regulate that inshallah will be amazing but Allah azza wa jal now, I want to mention a few things since tomorrow is going to be our first night for the Torah we've insha Allah azza wa jal on that night, I just

received a message from Chef Omar and sha Allah Tala, there's going to be a very very special night especially already being Ramadan, but I don't know if you guys know that but Subhanallah every Ramadan if you remember last year, there was something special last year in Ramadan who remembers the last what happened that night?

So please, please keep in mind that courtesy mindset Inshallah, knowing that you know what they'll be a lot of people will be come to the first time and Valley Ranch, first time in Ramadan, in a long time they haven't been to the masjid. So they're going to come back again in sha Allah Allah. So there'll be a lot of people and they would like to see a good experience in sha Allah

Allah, we ask each and every one of you to keep that in mind to keep the experience beautiful for everybody in sha Allah Tala, our volunteers, our security team, they're going to be doing everything in their power to facilitate the best experience for you. They also need you to listen to what they tell you. Because they're the rules have been set there for a reason. If you don't like anything, you don't have to argue with the volunteers or with the with the security team. Simply just go shallow data, send an email, we will take that feedback and shallow data to view it and see what we can do about it. But I just don't want you to take your case with the volunteers because they're

there to facilitate the best experience for you and shallow data for your community at large, not just for your family only. So please take that into consideration. As we come to the masjid in sha Allah, Allah Allah is going to be a congregational prayer. And since the congregational prayer, the prophets of Allah said I'm always recommended

During these big gatherings that you come in the best way which means hygiene. You take a shower,

refreshing yourself, your clothes at Hamdulillah you know not from coming from work or coming from your cooking spree. Whatever basically makes sure to come in the best way possible.
