SUMMARY:Tahajjud Prayers in Congregation
DESCRIPTION:The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and give him peace) said\, “Our Lord\, Blessed\, and Exalted is He\, descends (i.e.\, His mercy and concern descends) to the lowest heaven when the final third of the night remains and says\, “Who is there to call on Me so I may answer them? Who is there to ask of Me so I may give them? Who is there to seek My forgiveness so I may forgive them?” [Bukhari] \n\n\n\nJoin us bi-weekly on Saturday mornings before Fajr to pray 4 units of Tahajjud (Night Prayer) & Witr Prayers in the congregation\, followed by Fajr prayer and then light\, yummy snacks. \n\n\n\nThere is no better way to start a day than to pray Tahajjud and Fajr in the congregation along with your loved ones! \n\n\n\nThese bi-weekly Tahajjud prayers are organized by the youth in our community. \n\n\n\nEvery other Saturday | 4 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. | MCC Prayer Hall | All ages welcome \n\n\n\nLight snacks will be provided after the Fajr Adhan in the Banquet Hall.Join the Tahajjud WhatsApp group here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GEDbnzDiXb73pU6ww1s19m \n\n\n\nTentative Schedule:4 a.m. – doors open4:11 a.m. – Tahajjud starts (Huffaz will recite Juz #4 – First Half (3:93 – 3:170))4:56 a.m. – Fajr Adhan5:00 a.m. – Snacks are served5:30 a.m. – Fajr iqamah5:45 a.m. – cleanup

SUMMARY:Soul of My Soul Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Soul of My Soul Exhibit is hosting an art exhibit on Saturday\, April 27\, at Stockmen’s Park in Livermore\, bringing attention to the genocide in Palestine via children’s art. See more here: https://mcceastbay.org/event/activism-art-for-people-of-palestine \n\n\n\nSoul of My Soul is organizing this outdoor art exhibit in Livemore for the people of Palestine. The goal is to raise awareness of the humanitarian crisis\, push people to action\, and provide reliable resources to the public to promote further education on Gaza and Palestine. \n\n\n\nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \n\n\n\nWhoOur organization group comprises Yosra\, Sadaf\, Deana\, Dina\, Zainab\, and Omeera. We are a group of moms who decided something needs to be done about all this! We are not all Muslims or Arabs\, but we are all humans. \n\n\n\nProject goals \n\n\n\n\nShort term: a permanent ceasefire\n\n\n\nDefunding Israel\n\n\n\n\nThe name of our organization is flexible enough to continue after a ceasefire is reached and also to allow us to highlight other issues of the occupation or create new displays and exhibits. \n\n\n\nExhibit goals \n\n\n\n\nExpose those who only consume mainstream media to more of the story\n\n\n\nPush people to action – write to politicians\, sign petitions\, BDS\, attend protests\n\n\n\nPresent new sources and accounts people can follow so that they can continue their education after the event\n\n\n\n\nWe need to keep these goals in mind when consistently creating this exhibit. Everything must be done with intention and detail. \n\n\n\nOverarching Theme \n\n\n\n\nWe want this to be quiet\, calm\, reflective.\n\n\n\nProtests are loud and in your face.\n\n\n\nThis appeals to the human side of people\, and the main goal is humanizing the victims.\n\n\n\nWe are also highlighting specific atrocities committed by Israel through the stories of the people whom they have killed.\n\n\n\n\nBrand \n\n\n\nWe want to have a “brand” for several reasons: \n\n\n\n\nIt helps us market our events in newspapers when advertising an “upcoming event.”\n\n\n\nIt helps give us legitimacy when applying for permits\n\n\n\nAllows people to visit our site and access resources that were shared at the event\n\n\n\nCan encourage people to bring friends and family to our next event\n\n\n\n\nList of Displays \n\n\n\nWe will have a variety of displays that are different in terms of color\, size\, positioning\, medium\, etc. This is intentional as it encourages people to walk through the exhibit\, engage and interact with each unique display\, and learn something new. \n\n\n\nEach display will have a large poster with the piece’s name\, the artist’s name\, and an explanation of the issue the display is highlighting. Beside this large poster is a small (8.5” x 11”) paper that directs people to a QR code. Each QR code takes people to a relevant video or news article to the display they are viewing. All QR codes will be provided at the end and listed on our website so people can reference them later.
