Important reminder for Taraweeh attendees
We kindly ask that you consider the tranquility and serenity of the Taraweeh prayers. For the comfort of all, we request refraining from bringing young children who are unable to participate in the prayer, ensuring that everyone can focus and experience this blessed time in peace.
Ramadan activities for families with young children
Families with younger children are encouraged to explore Harbor Library’s kids’ Ramadan activity programs, available daily from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. These programs provide a welcoming and engaging space for children during Taraweeh hours.
Call for mosque volunteers
As we prepare for Ramadan, we warmly invite community members to volunteer in supporting mosque activities throughout the holy month.
Volunteers play an important role in helping:
- Maintain a welcoming and organized mosque environment
- Support worshippers during busy prayer times
- Ensure smooth flow during Taraweeh prayers
If you would like to give back and support the spiritual life of the KAUST community, we encourage you to register as a mosque volunteer.
