Dear Community Members, Assalamu Alaikum As you all know, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has declared a state of emergency due to positive cases of Corona virus being identified in Ohio. However, this DOES NOT equate to a state of panic at this time. We at Dayton Mercy Society take this very seriously and are taking precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all members of our congregation. Please follow the CDC guidelines on best preventative measures: Stay home if you are sick Avoid contact with sick people Practice frequent and thorough hand washing, avoid hand shaking, touching face, and practice good hygiene Supplicate often-asking Allah (SWT) for his protection: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبَرَصِ، وَالْجُنُونِ، وَالْجُذَامِ، وَمِنْ سَيِّئِ الأَسْقَامِ OH ALLAH I SEEK YOUR REFUGE FROM LEPROSY, INSANITY, MUTILATION, AND FROM ALL SERIOUS ILLNESS. Sunan ibn Dawood 1556 DMS appreciates the community’s cooperation and understanding in this matter. JazakAllah, DMS Board
