Timeless legacy of the Prophet's Seerah
2026-02-05

The night of the 15th of Sha‘ban
2026-02-02 08:00 - 17:00
Assalaamu Alaikum

Sun, Feb 1st is the 14th of Sha‘ban, and Mon, Feb 2nd evening marks the night of the 15th of Sha‘ban.

The night of the 15th of Sha‘ban is considered the second most virtuous night after Laylat al-Qadr.
In authentic hadiths, our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) described this night as a night of abundant forgiveness of Allah, night of repentance, a night of seeking forgiveness, a night of worship and prayer, and a night of the Qur’an.

It is important for us to value this blessed day and night as families and benefit from its spiritual blessings.
•From tonight, we should prepare by intending to fast, waking up for suhoor, and fasting tomorrow .
•With tomorrow’s iftar, one of the most blessed periods of the year will begin and continue until the Fajr prayer.
•It is highly recommended to perform the Maghrib and ‘Isha prayers in congregation.

📍 A modest program will be held at Cary Masjid:

🕗 8:00 PM – ‘Isha Prayer
🕣 8:30 PM – Lecture by Imam Manzar
🕘 9:00 PM – Salaat Al tasbeeh.

We warmly invite you to join us with your family and friends so that we may supplicate together in prayer.
We look forward to seeing you, in shā’ Allāh 🤲✨

Joint effort between Islamic Center of Cary (ICC) and Islamic Center of Morrisville (ICM)
2026-01-16
Islamic Center of Cary (ICC) and the Islamic Center of Morrisville (ICM) are beginning a joint effort to promote Ihsan — excellence in faith, character, and worship across both Masajid. This is not a merger. Both Masajid will remain fully independent organizations, with their own administration and identity. But for the mission of Ihsan, we will operate as sister organizations, supporting one another and moving with one heart.
Why Ihsan?
The Prophet ﷺ defined Ihsan in the famous Hadith of Jibrīl:
“That you worship Allah as if you see Him; and if you do not see Him, then know that He sees you.”
Ihsan is not only extra worship – it is beautiful character, honesty, mercy, service, clean hearts, and doing everything for Allah with excellence. Allah commands it clearly:
“Indeed, Allah commands justice and Ihsan…” (16:90)
And Allah loves it:
“Indeed, Allah loves the Muḥsinīn.” (2:195)
So, when we say we are promoting Ihsan, we mean we want stronger Iman, better akhlaq, greater sincerity, less conflict, more forgiveness, more service, and a community that reflects the beauty of Islam.
How will we work together?
Sister-masjid partnership: ICC and ICM remain independent but cooperate on the Ihsan mission.
Shared religious leadership for unity: Each masjid will allocate 50% of its imams to regularly serve the other masjid — so our messaging, teaching, and spiritual direction stay aligned and consistent.
Joint Advisory Board: An Advisory Board representing both Masajid will guide the work to ensure it is fair, transparent, and properly executed — so no masjid feels overlooked, and everyone benefits.
What will this look like for you? In shā’ Allah you will see:

Unified themes in khutbahs and programs,
Shared classes and spiritual initiatives,
Joint training and youth development,
And a consistent culture of mercy, adab, and excellence.

Brothers and sisters, this is about raising the spiritual standard of our communities — so that the masjid is not only a place we attend, but a place that transforms us.
Please make du‘ā’ that Allah places barakah in this partnership, protects unity, removes ego, and makes us from the أهل الإحسان—the people of Ihsan.
Allahumma-j‘alnā mina-l-muḥsinīn.
O Allah, make us among those who live with Ihsan
