| Alhamdulillah, our state is gradually approaching a decrease in the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. Recently the New Jersey Governor has relaxed the outdoor gathering restrictions to 25 people, including outdoor gatherings for the houses of worship. As mentioned earlier, Islamic Center of East Brunswick (ICEB) Administration is working to put together a framework that will help us gradually reinstate the Musallah activities, InshaAllah. By the will of Allah, Starting June 5th ICEB will be holding Friday prayers at Heavenly Farms, East Brunswick. Below is a link to google maps for navigation purposes. |
