Pray the pre-dawn prayer in congregation (6:30 a.m.)\, followed by recitations of Surah Yaseen and Al-Wird Al-Latif (booklets provided) in unison\, community dua\, and following sunup\, Salat al-Ishraq prayer in congregation. \nQari Amar will also lead the Khatam (completion) of the Qur’an. Each month\, congregation members complete one Juz of the Holy Qur’an. Please finish your Juz by the first Sunday of each month. Sign up for Juz at mcceastbay.org/juz \nThis program is also streamed virtually at https://mcceastbay.org/live. \n 2024 Sunday Monthly Khatam with Qari Amar Bellaha: \n\n– January 7\, 2024\n– February 4\, 2024\n– March 3\, 2024\n– May 5\, 2024\n– June 2\, 2024\n– July 7\, 2024\n– August 4\, 2024\n– September 1\, 2024\n– October 6\, 2024\n– November 3\, 2024\n– December 1\, 2024\n\nThere are numerous benefits and virtues of reciting the Holy Qur’an and sending Salawat upon Rasulullah (S). Along with bringing great barakah into our lives\, these two acts of ‘ibadah are a means by which Allah elevates our rank in Jannah. Though it may be challenging to make a habit of tilawah (recitation) and Salawat individually\, there is strength in our numbers. Join your MCC community in our goal of collectively completing a Qur’an khatam. \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \n\nMore Qari Amar: https://mcceastbay.org/amar\nImam al-Haddad’s litanies (al-Wird al-Latif): https://mcceastbay.org/wird\nThe Prophet (Peace be upon him) said\, “He who performs the Fajr will be under the protection of Allah.” [Muslim]\nThe Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The best prayer before Allah is the Fajr prayer on Friday in the congregation.”\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n  URL:https://mcceastbay.org/event/teamfajr-december/ LOCATION:MCC East Bay\, 5724 W Las Positas Blvd #300\, Pleasanton\, CA\, 94588\, United States CATEGORIES:Family Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://mcceastbay.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Monthly-TeamFajr-Quran-Khatam.png ORGANIZER;CN="Muslim Community Center - East Bay":MAILTO:events@mcceastbay.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241201T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241201T163000 DTSTAMP:20260517T005646 CREATED:20241121T180909Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241123T224935Z UID:10021975-1733063400-1733070600@mcceastbay.org SUMMARY:Sisters' Self-Defense/Boxing/Fitness/Awareness Seminar | MMA Fighter Amber Leibrock DESCRIPTION:Sisters!
