Asssalam wa alaikum,

On May 26th, the City of Rancho Cordova released guidelines for the reopening of religious services.

The essential requirement from the City is that religious services can be held at 25% of the building’s capacity up to 100 people.

Keeping in mind the required social distancing of 6ft between people, the ISRC Musallah can hold up to 40 people in the main salaah hall on the men’s side and 10 people in the women’s salaah hall.

Effective June 5th, 2020, ISRC will be open for Juma salaah for one session only for up to 40 men and 10 women.

Juma salaah will begin at 1:30 PM, with Arabic Khutba at 1:35 PM. There will be an English talk starting at 1:15 PM, InshaAllah. Please allow extra time for registration (see details below)

This process will allow the brothers in the ISRC committee to organize, implement, and revise the various measures that must be enforced for the safety of everyone visiting the Musallah.

InshaAllah, the number of sessions for Juma salaah will be increased in the coming weeks.

There will be a further announcement regarding the opening of the Musallah for other salaah.

The children’s nazira program, monthly family nights, adult education classes and all other programs that used to be conducted in the Musallah remain suspended at this time. Children’s nazira program will continue to be hosted online via Zoom.

We request the cooperation of each community member to adhere to the requirements and safety measures listed here and to follow all safety signs posted within the Musallah. This will help us ensure that we keep everyone safe and allow us to open the Musallah for other religious services more quickly.

Requirements:
ISRC will require each person who is visiting the Musallah to share their name, phone number, and address. This data will be used to facilitate contact tracing, only if it is needed.

Community members may also be required to have their temperature taken (via non-contact methods) and answer questions about any recent travel before entry will be granted into the Musallah.

Please see below for important information as it relates to visiting the Musallah for your Juma salaah.
