Those attending the ‘iftars at the Center filled it every night, and after Salatu-l-‘Isha’a performed the Salatu-l-Qiyyam. Additionally, on the odd numbered nights, the whole jama’at prayed four rak’at of Salatu-l-Tasbih. In the second weekend of Ramadan, Shaykh Nooruddeen went to the Farm of Peace where he taught with Shaykh Muhammad al-Jamal from al-Quds al-Sharif in Occupied Palestine and then, during the last ten days of ramadan, Shaykh Nooruddeen went to the the Shadhuli Sufi Center in California to perform ‘itikaf at the masjid there and continued his teaching with Shaykh Muhammad al-Jamal. This is the fifth year he has been invited by Shaykh Muhammad to be the guest teacher at the Shahduli Center. In California there were hour-long Ramadan Readings of Qur’an every morning after Salatu-l-Fajr and practice exercises of readings of the Juz Amma after Dhuhr prayers. Shaykh Nooruddeen also gave a lecture (dars) every day prior to the Salatu-l-Dhuhr. You can find these on this site as downloadable mp-3 files. The subject of this year’s Ramadan Teachings was “al-Bay'ah - Keeping the Promise”, and it was approached through tracing the history which has led the Muslims to our current situation – and where our personal responsibility lies now.

In the evening Shaykh Muhammad led the Salatu-l-Taraweeh and Shaykh Nooruddeen continued to lead the Salatu-l-Tasbih on the odd-numbered nights. On the last day of Ramadan Shaykh Noorudden flew from California to Virginia where he led the ‘Eid prayers and gave the ‘Eid Khutbah under the auspices of the North American Islamic Foundation in Herndon, Virginia. This Eid Khutbah can also be found on this site under the section “Khutbahs and Sohbet”. "When the help of Allah comes and the Opening, and you see people entering the religion of Allah in multitudes, then hymn the praises of your Lord and seek His forgiveness. Truly He is ever accepting of repentance." (Q 110:01-03) "It is He Who has sent down tranquility (as-sakina) into the heart of the believers so that they may add faith to their faith. To Allah belong the forces of the heavens and the hearth and Allah is Knowing - Wise." (Q 48:4)
