Personal Stories Of Family Separation In ICE Detention
- Omar Suleiman described meeting masjid members whose spouses are detained in ICE, like Liqa'a Kurdiya and Noor Salman, and the emotional impact on families.
- He called the congregation to keep Noor, Liqa'a, Ya'qub and other unjustly detained people in fervent du'a during the last ten nights of Ramadan.
Why Every Last Night Matters Despite Moon Disputes
- The Prophet Muhammad sought Laylatul Qadr across all last ten nights, showing we must value every one regardless of moon-sighting disputes.
- In years with sighting controversies, treat every final-night equally so you don't miss the night of decree.

- Some scholars interpret the Prophet's phrasing 'that which remains' to mean odd/even labeling can flip if the month is 29 days, adding legitimate uncertainty.
- This technical point explains why different communities may validly observe different nights.
