Ramadan 2025
As we approach the sacred month of Ramadan, the Islamic Society of South Australia reminds you of the immense mercy and blessings that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has bestowed upon us in this honored time.
May this month be a means of purification, elevation in Iman, and an opportunity to draw closer to Allah through fasting, salah, and increased acts of worship.
To assist you in making the most of this blessed period, we have prepared the following attachments for your benefit.
May ALLAH accept our fasting, deeds, duaa and prayers.
