      <title>Friday Jumu’ah Prayer | Shaykh Yahya Rhodus | 04.25.2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Join special guest khateeb Shaykh Yahya Rhodus in the GCASL Grand Hall this Friday at 1:15 PM EDT for an inspiring and heartfelt khutbah (sermon).

Allah ﷻ has ordained Friday (Jumu'ah) as a blessed day of gathering and reflection for us, the 'ummah of Muhammad ﷺ, so come and spend this special day with your brothers and sisters here at the IC. All are welcome!

Since 2009, Shaykh Yahya Rhodus has been an esteemed teacher at SeekersGuidance, where he not only contributes to the spiritual and intellectual growth of the community but also offers some of the most popular courses. The Founding Director of Al-Maqasid, Shaykh Yahya envisions the facilitation of Islam, Iman, and Ihsan through immersion in the Prophetic Inheritance. His educational journey began at the traditional school of Murabit al-Hajj in the desert of Mauritania shortly after his conversion, setting the foundation for a life dedicated to the realization of Islam, Iman, and Ihsan.

The concept of Al-Maqasid emerged from Shaykh Yahya’s own journey, which continued at the acclaimed school Dar al-Mustafa in Tarim, under the guidance of the renowned scholar and spiritual guide Habib Umar Bin Hafiz. Graduating from Dar al-Mustafa and returning to the United States, Shaykh Yahya pursued studies in various academic institutions, culminating in a PhD in Theology and Religious Studies from the University of Cambridge, England.

Shaykh Yahya believes in the necessity of building sound educational institutions that effectively nurture the realities of Islam in the lives of believers, enabling them to reach their full potential as human beings. He has dedicated his life to teaching and helping others put their knowledge into practice for the benefit of themselves and humanity. In the spirit of what he has learned from his teachers, Shaykh Yahya is committed to a holistic approach to religious life that considers the various dimensions of health and is embedded in love, mercy, knowledge, purity of heart, remembrance of God, good companionship, and concern for all of creation.

      <title>40 Hadith of Our Mother &apos;Aisha (RA) w/ Ustadha Nuriddeen Knight 01.24.25</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Aisha (RA) is one of the great hadith narrators who kept the speech of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (PBUH), alive by memorizing his words during his lifetime and teaching them to others after his death. The narration of prophetic speech is among one of the most important tasks in Islam. Without the preservation of prophetic speech, each generation would be more and more confused as to what it means to live an ethical and moral life in accordance with the pleasure of God.

Join us as we learn more about the legacy of scholarship set forward by our mother, 'Aisha (RA). Ustadha Nuriddeen Knight will be speaking on her book, "40 Hadith of Our Mother 'Aisha", an English compilation of 40 sayings (hadith) from the Prophet Muhammad, peace to him narrated by 'Aisha (RA), may God be pleased with her.

Nuriddeen Knight completed an MA in psychology with a focus on child and family from Columbia University. Alongside her academic degree, she studied traditional Islamic knowledge including Islamic law, theology, spirituality and prophetic biography with local scholars and in the majalis in Amman, Jordan.

      <title>Becoming Believing Believers: Putting Iman Into Action</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Surah Nisa is the 4th Chapter of the Quran.  In it's 136th verse, a command is given that states "يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ ءَامِنُوا۟" - Oh you who believe, believe...."
The imperative command to believe gives an insight that iman is something that can be put into practice and not just something that is held as a conceptual conviction.  Of the many benefits of this practice of action with belief is the attainment of self-awareness that can lead to contentment, but one needs to first come to an understanding of they believe in before any of it.  Join us this Friday as Imam Khalid Latif discusses this verse and examples from the life of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, in hopes of drawing light on how we can put our iman into action.

      <title>Overcoming Worry: The Prophet&apos;s Support of An Anxious Companion - Imam Khalid Latif</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Anxiety is something that so many people wrestle with day to day.  As with so many things that impact us and those around us, we find examples of how the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, supported those who struggled with the debilitating impact that anxiety can have.  In today's khutbah Imam Khalid Latif will look at the following hadith as a basis for how we can learn to support others who struggle with anxiety the way our Prophet did.
Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, entered the mosque one day while a man from the Ansar named Abu Umamah was there. The Prophet said, “O Abu Umamah, what is the matter that I see you sitting in the mosque while it is not time for prayer?” He said, “O Messenger of Allah, I am compelled by anxiety and debts.” The Prophet said, “Shall I not teach you a word to say by which Allah Almighty will relive your worry and complete your debt?” He said, “Of course, O Messenger of Allah.” The Prophet said, “Say in the morning and evening: O Allah, I seek refuge in you from worry and sadness. I seek refuge in you from weakness and laziness. I seek refuge in you from cowardice and miserliness. And I seek refuge in you from being overwhelmed by debt and the tyranny of men.”

يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ مَا لِي أَرَاكَ جَالِسًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فِي غَيْرِ وَقْتِ الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ هُمُومٌ لَزِمَتْنِي وَدُيُونٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَفَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلَامًا إِذَا أَنْتَ قُلْتَهُ أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَمَّكَ وَقَضَى عَنْكَ دَيْنَكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ قُلْ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ وَإِذَا أَمْسَيْتَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ غَلَبَةِ الدَّيْنِ وَقَهْرِ الرِّجَالِ

      <title>Shaykh Yahya Rhodus | 08.09.2024 | Friday Jumu’ah Prayer</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Join special guest Shaykh Yahya Rhodus in the GCASL Grand Hall this Friday at 1:15 PM EDT for a khutbah (sermon).

Allah ﷻ has ordained Friday (Jumu'ah) as a blessed day of gathering and reflection for us, the 'ummah of Muhammad ﷺ, so come and spend this special day with your brothers and sisters here at the IC. All are welcome!

Shaykh Yahya Rhodus is the Founding Director of Al-Maqasid, an Islamic seminary whose vision is to facilitate the realization of Islam, Iman and Ihsan through immersion in the Prophetic Inheritance. The concept of Al-Maqasid emerged from his own journey which began at the traditional school of Murabit al-Hajj in the desert of Mauritania shortly after his conversion. His path of learning then led him to the acclaimed school Dar al-Mustafa in Tarim, where he received instruction from the renowned scholar and spiritual guide Habib Umar Bin Hafiz. After graduating from Dar al-Mustafa and returning to the United States, he studied in a number of academic institutions, culminating in a PhD in Theology and Religious Studies from the University of Cambridge, England. 

Shaykh Yahya believes in the necessity of building sound educational institutions that effectively nurture the realities of Islam in the lives of believers so that they can reach their full potential as human beings. He has dedicated his life to teaching and helping others put their knowledge into practice in order to benefit themselves and humanity. In the spirit of what he has learned from his teachers, Shaykh Yahya is committed to a holistic approach to religious life that considers the various dimensions of health and is embedded in love, mercy, knowledge, purity of heart, remembrance of God, good companionship, and concern for all of creation. 

He hopes his work through Al-Maqasid will help transfer the beautiful religious heritage of Islam to the upcoming generations.

      <title>Gaining Tawfeeq: Stop Closing The Doors To Success - Part 3 | Imam Khalid Latif</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Tawfeeq is something that we quite often ask for in our du'aas, both when we pray directly to Allah and also when we ask others to make du'aa for us.  In this two-part khutbah, Imam Khalid Latif gives an overview of what Tawfeeq is, it's definition, and discuss 6 things that Ibn Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, cites as what close that doors of Tawfeeq for us. 

Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah
Shaqeeq Ibn Ibaraheem said:

“The doors of success have been closed upon the creation because of six things:
1) Their busying themselves with the blessings of Allah instead of thanking Allah for them,
2) their desire for knowledge while they abandon actions,
3) the hastiness to sin and delaying repentance,
4) the deception of having righteous companions and not taking them as examples,
5) the turning away of the dunya from them while they chase it,
6) and the approach of the afterlife towards them while they turn away from it.”
[Reference: Al Fawaai’d by Ibn Al Qayim: P. 161]

      <title>The Black Muslim Lecture Series | Lecture 4: Our Passport to the Future: Trailblazing the Path Towards Educational Justice | A Fundraiser for A Continuous Charity | Ieasha Prime, Basheer Jones, Azeem Muhammad | 12.3.2022</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Ieasha Prime</strong> is the Director of Women’s Programming at Dar al Hijrah Islamic Center in Virginia and the founder of the DC Muslim Women’s Conference. She converted to Islam more than 20 years ago after being a Youth Ambassador to Morrocco and Senegal. There she developed a thirst for knowledge that would cause her to sit at the feet and learn from some of the top Islamic Scholars of our time. After having participated in several circles of knowledge in the US, Ieasha decided to pursue religious studies abroad. She studied Arabic, and Quran at the Fajr Institute in Cairo, Egypt. Later, she moved to Hadramaut, Yemen and enrolled in Dar al Zahra, an Islamic University for Women. There she studied Aqeedah, Quran, Hadith, Arabic, Jurisprudence (Fiqh), Islamic law, Purification of the Heart and other religious related learning. She has received several scholarly licenses (ijaza). The work that she is most committed to and enjoys have been the development of Islamic programming, Islamic Studies curriculum and Rites of Passage programs for youth and adults. Majority of her life has been spent as an educator and activist. She is most passionate about combining Islamic studies, cultural art, activism and service for the purpose of training leaders to rise above whatever challenges stand in their way and that of the community they serve. In addition to her full-time work, she is the co-founder and Executive Director of Barakah INC, an organization committed to training Muslim women in traditional Islamic sciences with a focus on modern application. Sister Ieasha is recently known for her participation in the National Women’s March, and the courses she teaches on traditional knowledge, the challenges of race and gender in the Muslim community and Spirituality. Ieasha Prime is a proud wife and mother of three children.</p><p><strong>Basheer Jones</strong> is an impassioned leader, motivational speaker, and spoken word artist with a positive message of empowerment and change. Born in Brooklyn, NY on October 25, 1984 and later transplanted to Cleveland, OH as a child. He graduated Cum Laude from the distinguished Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA in 2006 with a degree in African-American Studies. He later pursued graduate studies at Howard University in Washington, D.C.</p><p>Basheer understands that true success is giving back, which is why he decided to move back to Cleveland, OH, where he became the youngest news talk radio show host at Radio One. Basheer has been interviewed by Time, JET, and Essence Magazines, and has been a guest correspondent on CNN, MSNBC, and CSPAN. Basheer played an important role in the city of Cleveland during the 2008 Presidential Election by hosting several Barack Obama rallies and held one of the largest youth voter registration drives in the city. He later became the Regional Field Director for Organizing for America and the Democratic National Committee during the 2012 presidential campaign.</p><p>Basheer’s dedication and commitment has enabled him to publish his first book, entitled, “I’ll Speak for Change”. He is the President and Founder of The Basheer Jones Foundation, as well a proud member of the NAACP and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. He has received various awards and recognition for his accomplishments including the Emerging Leader Award from Congresswoman Marcia Fudge and the Urban League’s Distinguished Men Award.</p><p>Basheer’s indebtedness and passion to serve his community propelled him to decide run for City Council and win in Ward 7 of Cleveland’s 2017 election. He is the creator of the Be the Change Leadership Series, in which Basheer facilitates leadership and character development workshops within various school systems throughout the state of Ohio.</p><p>With his compelling, soul-stirring delivery, Basheer continues to bridge the gap between the youth and the elders by sharing his life experiences with words that inspire and motivate all who hear him. His dedication for speaking on behalf of the voiceless has allowed him to travel throughout the country and international circuit delivering his inspirational message of hope and change. Mr. Jones is a devoted community servant that strives to live by the affirmation that we must “be the change that we want to see in the world.”</p><p><strong>Azeem Muhammad</strong> — For nearly twenty years, Azeem’s comedy has brought laughter to millions of people worldwide. Whether across stage, colleges, corporate events or religious functions, the result is always the same: drop-dead funny. In 2005, he was the recipient of the MPAC Image Award, for his stand-up performance on the critically-acclaimed Allah Made Me Funny: Official Muslim Comedy Tour, which provided an opportunity for a healthy dialogue between Muslims and non-Muslims; drawing the attention of The Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart. His ability to build bridges across gender, ethnicity, and religious lines has earned him the title of “holistic healer through humor”.</p><p>Many in the media describe Azeem’s humor as “conscious comedy”. His ability to intertwine touchy subjects in a politically correct society with charismatic candor, makes him sought out the world over.</p><p>Azeem, a native of St. Louis, Missouri, began his comedy career in 1999 at the age of 26 while working at a rehabilitation center for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In 2005, Azeem made his network television debut on “Comic View”, which brought him to the attention of many clubs and colleges throughout the United States. His standout performances have taken him to over 5 continents, 37 countries, and a favorite on the seven seas; performing onboard Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Line ships.</p><p>His first full comedy CD “I’m Just Serious” was released in 2010, and his first DVD “Live & Unfiltered” was released in 2015. Azeem can be heard every week on his podcast “I’m Just Serious” on iTunes and Stitcher Radio.His latest endeavor, a one-man show “Funny, Faithful & Flawed” is scheduled to debut in 2020.</p><p><strong>A Continuous Charity</strong> was founded in 2013 with the sole purpose of alleviating the Muslim students from the financial burden of interest (riba) on educational loans. By doing this, it hopes to bring about a generation of graduates that will have a strong Muslim identity and be well-versed in their fields, using both for the benefit of mankind.</p>

In 2005, he was the recipient of the MPAC Image Award, for his stand-up performance on the critically-acclaimed Allah Made Me Funny: Official Muslim Comedy Tour, which provided an opportunity for a healthy dialogue between Muslims and non-Muslims; drawing the attention of The Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart. His ability to build bridges across gender, ethnicity, and religious lines has earned him the title of “holistic healer through humor”.</p><p>Many in the media describe Azeem’s humor as “conscious comedy”. His ability to intertwine touchy subjects in a politically correct society with charismatic candor, makes him sought out the world over.</p><p>Azeem, a native of St. Louis, Missouri, began his comedy career in 1999 at the age of 26 while working at a rehabilitation center for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In 2005, Azeem made his network television debut on “Comic View”, which brought him to the attention of many clubs and colleges throughout the United States. His standout performances have taken him to over 5 continents, 37 countries, and a favorite on the seven seas; performing onboard Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Line ships.</p><p>His first full comedy CD “I’m Just Serious” was released in 2010, and his first DVD “Live & Unfiltered” was released in 2015. Azeem can be heard every week on his podcast “I’m Just Serious” on iTunes and Stitcher Radio.His latest endeavor, a one-man show “Funny, Faithful & Flawed” is scheduled to debut in 2020.</p><p><strong>A Continuous Charity</strong> was founded in 2013 with the sole purpose of alleviating the Muslim students from the financial burden of interest (riba) on educational loans. By doing this, it hopes to bring about a generation of graduates that will have a strong Muslim identity and be well-versed in their fields, using both for the benefit of mankind.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Imam Khalid Latif is a University Chaplain for New York University, and Executive Director of the Islamic Center at NYU. Under his leadership, the Islamic Center at NYU became the first ever established Muslim student center at an institution of higher education in the United States. Imam Latif’s exceptional dedication and ability to cross interfaith and cultural lines on a daily basis brought him recognition throughout the city, so much so that in 2007 Mayor Michael Bloomberg nominated Imam Latif to become the youngest chaplain in history of the New York City Police Department at the age of 24. Most recently, Imam Latif was selected as one of 60 NYC leaders to serve on May Bill Deblasio’s Transition Team, helping to recommend and select individuals for key roles in the current NYC administration and also appointed to a “Task Force to Combat Hate” by NYC Public Advocate Tisch James to deal with the rise in Islamophobic, anti-semitic and anti-sikh sentiment in NYC.Imam Khalid Latif is a University Chaplain for New York University, and Executive Director of the Islamic Center at NYU.

      <description><![CDATA[Surah Quraysh is the 106th surah in the Quran following immediately after Surah Fil which is related to it in many ways. The surah was revealed in Makkah and has 4 verses in it - making it one of the shortest yet most memorized and meaningful chapters of the Quran. Many of us learn it at a young age, converts engage it at the onset of their Islam, and likely we recite it on a regular basis in our prayers. Join us as Imam Khalid Latif walks us through the virtues, meanings and benefits of this amazing surah.

      <title>Quranic Reflections: Virtues, Benefits &amp; Meaning of Surah Al-Kawthar | Imam Khalid Latif</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Surah Al-Kawthar is amongst the shortest yet most memorized and meaningful chapters of the Quran. Many of us learn it at a young age, converts engage it at the onset of their Islam, and likely we recite it on a regular basis in our prayers. In one hadith we find mention of its benefits:

It was narrated that Anas in Malik said:
"One day when he-the Prophet (ﷺ)- was still among us, he took a nap, then he raised his head, smiling. We said to him: 'Why are you smiling, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Just now this Surah was revealed to me: In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Verily, We have granted you (O Muahmmad) Al-Kawthar. Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him only). For he who hates you, he will be cut off.' Then he said: 'Do you know what Al-Kawthar is?' We said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'It is a river that my Lord has promised me in Paradise. Its vessels are more than the number of the stars. My Ummah will come to me, then a man among them will be pulled away and I will say: "O Lord, he is one of my Ummah" and He will say to me: 'You do not know what he did after you were gone."
أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنِ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ بَيْنَمَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا - يُرِيدُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم - إِذْ أَغْفَى إِغْفَاءَةً ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مُتَبَسِّمًا فَقُلْنَا لَهُ مَا أَضْحَكَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَزَلَتْ عَلَىَّ آنِفًا سُورَةُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ‏{‏ إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ * فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ * إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الأَبْتَرُ ‏}‏ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الْكَوْثَرُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَإِنَّهُ نَهْرٌ وَعَدَنِيهِ رَبِّي فِي الْجَنَّةِ آنِيَتُهُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ عَدَدِ الْكَوَاكِبِ تَرِدُهُ عَلَىَّ أُمَّتِي فَيُخْتَلَجُ الْعَبْدُ مِنْهُمْ فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّهُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي ‏.‏ فَيَقُولُ لِي إِنَّكَ لاَ تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثَ بَعْدَكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

      <title>A Timeless Opening: Lessons From Surah Al-Fatihah | Imam Khalid Latif</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Ubayy ibn Ka’b reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him, “How do you recite in prayer?” Ubayy said, “I recite the foundation of the Book, Surat al-Fatihah.” The Prophet said, “By the One in whose hand is my soul, nothing like it has been revealed in the Torah, nor the Gospel, nor the Psalms, nor the Furqan. Verily, they are the seven oft-repeated verses and the great Quran given to me.” Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhi 2875 Surah Al-Fatihah is recited by so many of us on a daily basis, multiple times a day, for years of our lives. It’s blessings and virtues are immense. Join us this Monday night at 7PM EST with Imam Khalid Latif as we pull lessons from the opening chapter of the Quran and begin a word-by-word discussion on it’s verses in hopes of deepening our relationship with it and, in turn, our Creator inshallah.

      <title>Carrying The Message: Khateeb Training | Sheikh Suhaib Webb</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The jum’a khutba is one of the most important instruments of education in the Muslim community, and it is not something to be taken lightly. The word khutba is from the same word as a proposal for marriage, so it is not something we should take lightly. As the American Muslim community grows, it no longer has enough qualified khatibs. Join Sh. Suhaib Webb for a brief, but informative workshop that will teach you the basics you need to know to deliver a khutba or even a halaqa.

Topics Covered:
1 What is the Khutba
2 Its history and importance
3 The outer components of a khutbah
4 The inner components (the heart and the intention) behind a khutba
5 Resources in English khatibs can use
6 Modeling how to prepare and practice a khutba

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَلَا كُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ
Abdullah ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock.
And the 8th verse of surah muminoon that says  وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ 
“And those who watch over their trusts and promises.”

      <title>Prophet Musa (SWS) &amp; Harun Speak Truth To Power (Part 4) | Live and Learn with Sheikha Ieasha Prime | ICNYU Virtual Halaqa</title>
      <description><![CDATA[At some point in our lives our personal relationship with Allah will lead to confront oppression and Oppressors. Staying silent isn’t an option. But we know we can’t do it alone. This week we study the methods Prophet Musa & Harun addressed Pharoah and the challenges of community building. Let’s learn the Prophetic models of how to speak truth to power and develop communitites that are a movement not merely a moment.

Let's discover how the Message of Islam was spread and developed over time throughout many nations. We will journey down the adventurous path of dawah, service and bringing light to humanity. What lessons can be drawn from their life and times? What did Allah intend for us to know by preserving their stories in Quran? During Wednesday night's class of Live and Learn, we can take this path of Revelation to the World and extract the gems for our personal lives and struggles in faith.

      <title>Prophet Shuyaib | Live and Learn with Sheikha Ieasha Prime | ICNYU Virtual Halaqa</title>
      <description><![CDATA[What does your prayer have to do with our money, asked Prophet Shuayaib’s people. They were hell-bent on cheating, usury, and to get rich or die trying. Their crime was the love of money and to seek profit no matter the spiritual cost. Join us as we discuss why God found this so repulsive that He sent a prophet to raise their consciousness. If wealth is not the main goal of this world, then what is? Can I reach that state realistically?

Let's discover how the Message of Islam was spread and developed over time throughout many nations. We will journey down the adventurous path of dawah, service and bringing light to humanity. What lessons can be drawn from their life and times? What did Allah intend for us to know by preserving their stories in Quran? During Wednesday night's class of Live and Learn, we can take this path of Revelation to the World and extract the gems for our personal lives and struggles in faith.

      <description><![CDATA[Join the IC Muharram Majlis program with recitation of the Quran, poetry from community members and a nightly lecture by Sheikh Faiyaz.

Muharram–– the first month of the Islamic calendar–– demarcates a period of religious significance for Muslims across the globe, who annually commemorate the tragedy of Hussain ibn Ali, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, at the Battle of Karbala. Particular to Shia Muslim tradition, the first 10 days are historically spent mourning, grieving, and reflecting upon Hussain and his family’s spiritual sacrifice through lamentation poetry, nightly gatherings, and various forms of cultural expression. Muharram is not only centered around sorrow, but is also a time of community unity and harmony, bringing out themes of justice, love, beauty, generosity, compassion and fidelity to the Prophet and his family.

Particular to Shia Muslim tradition, the first 10 days are historically spent mourning, grieving, and reflecting upon Hussain and his family’s spiritual sacrifice through lamentation poetry, nightly gatherings, and various forms of cultural expression. Muharram is not only centered around sorrow, but is also a time of community unity and harmony, bringing out themes of justice, love, beauty, generosity, compassion and fidelity to the Prophet and his family.
