شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِلنَّاسِ
“Ramadan is the month in which the Qur’an was revealed — guidance for humanity.” (Q 2:185)
Du’a of the Day
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْ رَمَضَانَ آخِرَ عَهْدِنَا بِهِ
Allahumma la taj‘al Ramadan akhira ‘ahdina bihi.
“O Allah, do not make this Ramadan the last we witness.”
Reflection: Ramadan departs, but its lessons remain. The Qur’an, prayer, charity, and repentance should not leave with the moon of Shawwal.
Verse to reflect
“So whoever hopes for the meeting with his Lord, let him do righteous deeds and associate none in the worship of his Lord.” (18:110)
The believer’s life continues as preparation for meeting Allah.
Hadith to consider
The Prophet ﷺ said: “The most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are continuous.” (Al-Bukhari & Muslim)
Ramadan teaches us how to live the rest of the year.
A message from as-Salaf
Ibn Rajab said: “The sign of an accepted Ramadan is that a servant remains firm in obedience after it.”
Ramadan is a training ground, not a destination.
Question
What is the clearest sign that a person’s Ramadan was accepted?
Explain using one Qur’anic or Prophetic principle.

Also known as the Islamic Centre of Newcastle (ICN) / Sultan Fatih Mosque, our masjid is located at the heart of Newcastle’s growing Muslim community.
The Mayfield Mosque serves worshippers from more than 45 diverse backgrounds. While Muslims currently constitute just 1.68% of Newcastle’s population, the city has become a vibrant hub for Islamic culture and inter-faith harmony across the Hunter region.
In 2007, the Islamic Centre of Newcastle (Mayfield Mosque) began operations from a former Salvation Army church, becoming the central place of worship for Muslims in Mayfield and beyond. This legacy continues to grow today.
Our community proudly reflects Australia’s inclusive spirit—holding fast to Islamic faith and values while embracing our role as engaged, unified Australian citizens. Under the leadership of our dedicated management team and Imam, the mosque has built strong bridges with other faith and civic organisations, enhancing community cohesion and cooperation.
