Muktad Prayers (S) (10 Aug 2026)

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 10:00:00 GMT

OZCF will be celebrating the Shenshai Muktad from Monday, August 10 th to Friday, August 14 th at the OZCF Atashkadeh.

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 7 th.

The Atashkadeh 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 Friday, August 14 th (on Gatha Vahishtoishti) at 7:00 am. The night Afringan and Satoom on the last Muktad day will start at 12:05 am on Saturday, August 15 th .

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.

Please note that only prayers will be conducted in the Atashkadeh. All meals will be served after the prayers will be in the Hall. We also require volunteers to clean and set up the Atashkadeh and Hall before the start of Muktad as well as regular cleaning during the Muktad days. 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. As religious collections play a big part in revenue generation for OZCF, we request the community to donate generously.
