يقول الله تعالى: { شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِيَ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْءانُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِّنَ الْهُدَى وَالْفُرْقَانِ فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ وَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ يُرِيدُ اللهُ بِكُمُ الْيُسْرَ وَلاَ يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ الْعُسْرَ وَلِتُكْمِلُواْ الْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُواْ اللهَ عَلَى مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ }. البقرة 185 .
ولقد روي عن سلمان الفارسي أنه قال: "خطبنا رسول الله ءاخر يوم من شعبان فقال: " يا أيها الناس قد أظلكم شهر عظيم مبارك شهر فيه ليلة خير من ألف شهر، شهر جعل الله صيامه فريضة وقيام ليله تطوعًا وهو شهر الصبر، والصبر ثوابه الجنة، شهر المواساة، من فطر فيه صائما كان مغفرة لذنوبه وعتق رقبته من النار وكان له مثل أجره (أي أجر عظيم) من غير أن ينقص من أجره شىء . قالوا يا رسول الله: ليس كلنا يجد ما يفطر الصائم". فقال عليه الصلاة والسلام: "يعطي الله هذا الثواب من فطر صائما على تمرة أو على شربة ماء أو مذقة لبن وهو شهر أوله رحمة وأوسطه مغفرة وءاخره عتق من النار ومن سقى صائما سقاه الله من حوضي شربة لا يظمأ بعدها حتى يدخل الجنة" .

Resolving this issue requires time and cooperation between countries to share research and medicinal discoveries. This also calls for the people’s cooperation to assist in slowing down the spread of the virus to ease the burden on the healthcare facilities and healthcare providers.
Moreover, it is known that our honorable religion encouraged proper hygiene and taking precautions to avoid harm while relying on the Creator, the One who creates and destines everything. Therefore, we ask the people to:
Muslims believe that the Creator created a cure for every sickness and that there must be a cure for this disease.
To assist the government in fighting this pandemic, we continue to perform the Friday prayer at our centers while establishing strict social distancing and sanitizing guidelines. A.I.C.P. will continue to follow the CDC health recommendations and state law requirements across all U.S. branches.
A.I.C.P. encourages the Muslim community to adhere to the religion and to find comfort in performing acts of obedience at home.
We ask God to have mercy on us, to lift this calamity, and to protect us from any harm.

The obligation of fasting the month of Ramadan becomes incumbent upon the occurrence of one of two matters: to sight the crescent of Ramadan after the sunset of the 29th day of Sha^ban (the month directly preceding Ramadan) or, if the crescent is not seen, then completing thirty (30) days of Sha^ban. So, the beginning of the month of Ramadan, as well as the end of the month, is determined by sighting the crescent. If the crescent is not sighted, then the month would be completed by 30 days--as is the case with determining all the months of the lunar calendar. This is taken from the hadith of the Prophet related by al-Bukhariyy and Muslim:
which means: <<Do not fast one or two days before Ramadan. Start the month when you see the crescent, and end the month when you see the crescent. If you are blocked from seeing it, complete thirty days of Sha^ban.>>
