Ramadan Timetables 2021

The East London Mosque and various others have announced that 1 Ramadan 1442 will be on Tuesday 13 April 2021. The first Tarawih prayers will be in the evening of Monday 12 April, straight after Isha prayer.

We congratulate all Muslims in the whole world and want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a peaceful and blessed Ramadan. May Allah accept our fasting and good deeds in shaa Allah.  

Below are Ramadan timetables for London & the rest of UK. The timetables are for information only. Please check with your local mosque for clarification.

Please check if your mosque is open before attending for Tarawih, some may have two Tarawih jamats, some will require you book in advance so places will be limited, please follow strict covid protocols to keep everyone safe!

Timetables will vary between cities (cities and towns lie on different latitudes and longitudes and will thus vary in their dawn and evening twilight times). There will also be differences between mosques within the same city ( variations can also occur because of different rulings on the time for Fajr) but please note that in London many mosques have agreed for a unified timetable and thus their Ramadan timetables will be the same insh-Allah.

If you have a timetables that is not listed below please contact me and I shall put it on the list insh-Allah. You can also follow normal salat timetable from your local mosque - as an indicator the start of fasting (or Sehri end time) is usually taken as 5 to 10 minutes prior to Fajar

What is Qurbani?

Eid-ul-Adha is almost here

So if you have not done this already then it's is time to start preparing for Quarbani......

What is Qurbani?

Taken from Hidaya Foundation, USA

Qurbani during Eid-ul Adha is an act to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim’s sacrifice as mentioned in the Quraan.

And, when he (his son) was old enough to walk with him, he said: "O my son! I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you (offer you in sacrifice to Allah), so look what you think!" He said: "O my father! Do that which you are commanded, Insha' Allah (if Allah will), you shall find me of As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.)." Then, when they had both submitted themselves (to the Will of Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead. And We called out to him: "O Abraham! You have fulfilled the dream (vision)!" Verily! Thus do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers).Verily, that indeed was a manifest trial. And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice (i.e. a ram). And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to come) in later times. (Sura Saffat, verses 102-108.)

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught Muslims the way of remembering the act of Ibrahim. He stayed 10 years in Madina and performed sacrifice at Eid-ul-Adha. (Tirmidhi)

Qurbani in Islamic terms means the slaughtering of an animal with the intention of getting close to Allah (SWT) by giving some or all of the meat to the poor and destitute. Animals that can be sacrificed are goats, cows and camels. They are sacrificed on the day of Eid-ul-Adha and also on the three days after (the 11, 12 and 13th of Dhulhijjah).

Benefits of Qurbani
Doing charity to the poor by contributing and distributing the meat to them and the destitute. These acts would spread happiness and cheers amongst them especially during the festival of Eid-ul-Adha where Muslims are in the spirit of festivities.

Who should give Qurbani
Person who possesses Nisab (zakatable asset) should give Qurbani. It is not obligatory (fard) but is highly recommended (wajib)*, according to the Hanafi school of thought. However, Qurbani is a Sunnah act according to the Shafi, Hanbali, Maliki, and Jafari schools of thought.

*Wajib, in the Hanafi school, is an obligation which is almost Fard, except that there is some (margin of uncertainty, which may occur in the form of counter-evidence, which suggests non-obligatory nature of the deed), and the scholars have therefore refrained from pronouncing a decisive verdict of "fard" on it. Nevertheless, for purposes of action, a wajib is treated like a fard, in that it should not be deliberately discarded, and it must be made up if it was missed for some reason. For this reason, 'wajib' of the Hanafi school is also known as "fard `amali" (i.e. an 'action fard') as opposed to fard i`tiqadi ('belief fard'), the normal fard, which one is required not only to act upon, but also to believe with full certainty and conviction that it is without doubt a duty.

Requirements of Qurbani
The animals to be slaughtered must be a goat, sheep, cattle (cow, ox, water buffalo), or camel. Goats and sheep have to be at least one year old. For cows the age must be at least two years old. Camels must be at least five years old. Goats and sheep count as one share per animal. Cattle and camels count as seven shares per animal.

They must be free from any form of handicap such as blind, sick, limp and undernourished. It also must be free of any defects such as a cut-off ear, tail, broken teeth,or broken horn. However, the goat/sheep can be used if only a few teeth are broken and most teeth are still intact. In addition, if its horn is broken midway and not from the root, it is persmissible to use such an animal. Injuries sustained during the qurbani do not invalidate the qurbani.

The animals must be slaughtered in the appropriate humane ways. It has to be done by a Muslim adhering to the Islamic way of slaughtering the animal.

Time of Qurbani
The time for Qurbani starts from sunrise after the performance of the Eidul Adha prayers which falls on the 10th of Zhulhijjah till the sunsets on the 12th of Zhulhijjah. The best time is to perform the acts of Qurbani immediately after the completion of the Eid-ul-Adha prayers.

It was reported that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: The first thing that we do on the day of Eid is to perform the prayers. Then we go home and carry out our Qurbani.Thus whoever does those acts has conformed to our sunnah. And for those who slaughtered before it, then the meat is for the family members and not as an act of Qurbani. (Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 2, Book 15, Number 82)

Distribution of the Qurbani meat It is preferable that the meat from Qurbani be divided in three equal parts: one for the home, one for relatives and friends, and one for the poor and needy. The meat from qurbani can be distributed to the poor, rich, Muslim or non-Muslim.


Prophetic Qurbani (taken from an e-mail I receievd from Muslim hands & Penny Appeal) 

‘Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful”’. (Qur’an 3:31)  

The Prophet (saw) said:
“There are no days on which righteous deeds
are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.”  [Bukhari]

The rewards for doing good deeds in these days are increased and fasting on these days, especially on the 9^th day, is also recommended.  One good deed, which is obligatory for Muslims, is to give a sacrifice of an animal (Qurbani) and give the meat as a gift to the poor before the days of Eid.
This Eid al-Adha our goal is to feed one million hungry people across the world, but we can only achieve this with your generous support. One way we can ensure this is by following the blessed practice of the Prophet (ﷺ) himself and offering a Prophetic Qurbani.  

The Prophet (ﷺ) not only sacrificed in his own name, but also on behalf of those in his Ummah who could not afford to offer their own Qurbani. This act of generosity reveals the true spirit of Eid al-Adha and the opportunity it gives us to share our blessings with our brothers and sisters around the world. As the Prophet (ﷺ) himself said, 'Charity does not decrease wealth'. 

Additional Information

My non-Muslim friends try to pick fault in Islam, saying that Muslims are no different to idol worshippers, who also offer sacrifices to their gods. Please clarify this point. Answer: Click Here!

“No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these (first ten days of Dhul Hijjah).” [Bukhari]

EID Salah at home 
(taken from reading Jamme Masjid)
In light of the current COVID-19 lockdown, those who follow the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali Schools of Sunni Islamic law may perform the Eid prayer at home, even individually according to some schools. However, there is no requirement for the khutba.

As for those who follow the Hanafi School, the position taken by Shaykh Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani and many other scholars, is that the Eid prayer will not be performed in private homes where there is no public access. Rather, one may offer four raka'at supererogatory (nafl/duha) prayers. However, the position of some other contemporary Hanafi scholars is that the Eid prayer can be performed at home, but in a minimum congregation of four people.


Please stay safe and socially distant from friends and family while celebrating. Read more about this discussion here.


How to Pray Eid-ul Fitr Salah at Home under lockdown 
(taken from East London Mosque)
The scholars have different opinions on whether we should perform the Eid prayer at home. Some take the view that there is no Eid prayer at home. Others say you can pray at home; some say individually, and some that the household can pray together led by the head of the household. 

There is no sermon if praying at home, but we can give each other good advice and Islamic reminders. How to perform the Eid prayer If you do decide to pray at home, then this is a reminder on how to perform the prayer. There are two rak‘ahs, each with extra Takbirs; the number and timing depends on which school of thought you follow: 

Hanafi: in the first rak‘ah, after the opening Takbir and before you recite Al-Fatihah, there are 3 extra takbirs; in the second rak‘ah, before ruku‘ there are also 3 extra takbirs, followed by the takbir for ruku‘. This is the way we perform the Eid prayer at the East London Mosque (as the majority of our congregation follow the Hanafi school of thought). 

Others: in the first rak‘ah, after the opening Takbir and before you recite Al-Fatihah, there are 7 extra takbirs; in the second rak‘ah, at the start after the Takbir for standing up and before you recite Al-Fatihah, there are 5 extra takbirs.
