www.icbrushycreek.org [email protected] (512) 850-4786

OBJECTIVETo Please Allah (swt) by following the teachings of the Quran and the Sunnah of His Prophet, Muhammad (pbuh).

MISSION STATEMENTTo Serve the Muslim community by providing various services to meet their spiritual and social needs and by promoting the values and teachings of Islam in accordance with the Qur’an and Sunnah of His Prophet, Muhammad (pbuh).

VISION STATEMENTTo become a comprehensive center of learning and spirituality for all age groups and demographics within the Muslim community.

O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous.

Surat Al-Baqarah 2:183

The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.


Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When Ramadan enters, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hellfire are closed and the devils are chained.

(Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

There are two occasions of joy for a fasting person: one when he breaks his fast, and the other when he meets his Lord, and the (bad) breath (of a fasting person) is better in the sight of Allah than the fragrance of musk.

(Al-Bukhari)

Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every action a son of Adam does shall be multiplied—a good action by ten times its value, up to 700 times. Allah says: With the exception of fasting, which belongs to Me, and I reward it accordingly. For, one abandons his desire and food for My sake.

(Al-Bukhari)

Abu Ayub (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Whosoever fasts in Ramadan and then follows it with fasting six days of Shawwal, it is as if he fasts forever.

(Muslim)

But to fast is best for you, if you only knew.


Allah has made Laylat al-Qadr in this month, which is better than a thousand months, as Allah says... The Night of Al-Qadr is better than a thousand months. Therein descend the angels and the Rooh (Jibreel) by Allah's Permission with all Decrees, there is peace until the appearance of dawn.

Surat Al-Qadar 97:1-5
