Arbaeen 2021

Dear friends!

It is to inform you that Imam Hossein Cultural Centre of Ottawa will be hosting a ceremony in honor of Arbaeen of Imam Hossein(as) on Sunday, September 26th, 2021 at 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm.

Watch the live broadcast on live.imamhossein.ca .

The program will be including:

– Recitation a selection of Munajat Khamsa Ashar in Farsi
– The honorable speaker, Sister Shabnam Dewji’s sermon on “Faith, Spirituality and Religion” in English especially for your younger generation
– Recitation of Ziarat of Arbaeen and mourning ceremony
– Congregational prayer
– Special program for attended kids

To attend the ceremony in-person, please note that:

Registration is mandatory.

– At least two weeks should have elapsed since receiving your second dose of the vaccine on the day of the program.
– You should complete the COVID-19 Screening form before you attend the program.
– Strictly following health protocols (mask and physical distancing) are still in place.
– Bring your prayer supplies for congregational prayer.
– Exact location and other instructions are included in the registration tickets.

Further notes regarding in-person ceremonies:

– Only those who have registered are allowed to attend. Please DO NOT attend the program in-person if you didn’t register for it. Unfortunately, you will not be let in as there is a HARD restriction on the number of people physically present at the venue to keep everyone safe and also due to provincial regulations.
– The registration would remain open as long as the capacity remains and up to 24 hours before each program.
– If the General tickets are finished, you may register to the Waitlist. Note that a Waitlist ticket is not a confirmation to attend the program in-person! If we were able to extend the space at the venue, we will email the ones in the waitlist to confirm they can attend the program in-person. If no confirmation email is received from IHCCO until Saturday, that means unfortunately no additional space was added.

And finally, as always, we would appreciate your donations to IHCCO with e-transfer to finance@imamhossein.ca. Your contributions will help IHCCO significantly to keep up serving our community.
