The Islamic Association of Raleigh strives to provide an inclusive environment for our community members with special needs and disabilities.

Both campuses have wheelchair accessible prayer halls and bathrooms, as well as elevator access to the upper floors. Every 1 PM Atwater Campus Jumuah Khutbah is live-streamed with ASL interpretation.

IAR will offer an on-site babysitting service for Taraweeh worshipers at the Atwater Campus. To register, please use this link.

Ages: Children 4-7 years old
Cost: Donation of $5 per child encouraged  
Start Date: 1st night of Taraweeh (2/18/26)
Days Offered: 1st, 2nd nights of Taraweeh, then Friday, Saturday, and Sunday only
Timing: 10 minutes before Isha to after the first witr Dua (after the 8 rakats).  
Children must be picked up immediately after the witr dua that follows the first 8 rakats.
 
Guidelines:
  • Babysitting for children ages 4-7 ONLY will be provided. No Exceptions.
  • Pre-registration is required. 
  • The IAR and babysitters are not responsible for lost/broken/misplaced items/toys your child brings to the babysitting room.

Zakat ul Fitr must be fulfilled before Eid Prayer.

Fidya must be paid for each fast missed due to a chronic condition.
