      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;&lt;font&gt;OZCF will be celebrating the &lt;strong&gt;Shenshai Muktad&lt;/strong&gt; from Monday, &lt;strong&gt;August 10 th to Friday, August&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Georgia;"&gt;14 th&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;at &lt;font&gt;the&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OZCF Atashkadeh&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;&lt;font&gt;We will be performing all the prayers during the Muktad days – three Satoom sessions&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;(morning, afternoon and evening), and Afringan &amp;amp; Farokshi in the morning. If you wish to give&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;the names of your dearly departed for daily prayers, please download, and complete the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

All meals will be served&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;after the prayers will be in the Hall. We also require volunteers to clean and set up the&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Atashkadeh and Hall before the start of Muktad as well as regular cleaning during the Muktad&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;days.

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Muktad are the days of communication between the material and spiritual worlds – our need&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;of health, happiness, peace and prosperity get fulfilled through the blessings of the Ruwans&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;(souls) and the Fravashis (spirits), and their need for our remembrance is fulfilled by our&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;prayers and invocations. As religious collections play a big part in revenue generation for&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;OZCF, we request the community to donate generously.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
