Muktad (S) Prayers
(August 10 - 14, 2025)
OZCF will be celebrating the Shenshai Muktad from Sunday, August 10th to Thursday, August 14th at the ZRCC.
We will be performing all the prayers during the Muktad days – three Satoom sessions (morning, afternoon and evening), and Afringan & Farokshi in the morning. If you wish to give the names of your dearly departed for daily prayers, please download, and complete the Muktad Names Form from the OZCF website (link below) and send it along with your donation cheque payable to OZCF to reach Er. Nozer Kotwal by August 7th.
The Hall will be open for a few hours during the prayers. Prayer timings are:
- · 6:30 am – Morning Satoom
- · 7:00 am – Afringan and Farokshi
- · 11:30 am – Afternoon Satoom
- · 7:00 pm – Evening Satoom
The Hamaspathmaidyem Gahambar prayers as per Shenshai Calendar, will be held on Sunday August 10th (on Gatha Ahunavaiti) at 7:00 am.
If you wish to offer your home-made Malido, Ravo, Sev, Batasa, Bhakras, and/or dry-fruits, flowers, fruits, Sukhad, Loban, we ask that you make arrangements with Er. Kotwal. If you wish to sponsor a meal and/or donate food, please contact Jeroo Madan at jeroomadan@hotmail.com.
We also require volunteers to clean and set up the Hall before the start of Muktad as well as regular cleaning during the Muktad days. Please contact Er. Kotwal at (905) 820-0461 if you wish to help.
Muktad are the days of communication between the material and spiritual worlds – our need of health, happiness, peace and prosperity get fulfilled through the blessings of the Ruwans (souls) and the Fravashis (spirits), and their need for our remembrance is fulfilled by our prayers and invocations. With the construction of our Atashkadeh nearing completion, we will be conducting the religious events in it in the not-so-distant future. As religious collections play a big part in revenue generation for OZCF, we request the community to donate generously.
