SUMMARY:Sisters' Seerah Weekly Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join our weekly sisters’ virtual & in-person Seerah book club where we have an active discussion\, take away lessons for our daily lives\, and inshaAllah fall in love with the Prophet ﷺ. We are reading “The Sultan of Hearts Prophet Muhammad ﷺ” by Resit Haylamaz and Fatih Harpci. \nRSVP for the live registration link below at mcceastbay.org/bookclub. No RSVP needed to join us in person in the MCC Conference Room (masks and social distancing required) \nEvent Details: \nThe discussion will take place every Wednesday from 10:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. starting May 26 and continue into Fall 2021. From Wednesday\, Aug. 4 to Sept. 1\, we will begin a hybrid in-person & virtual session. For the link to join virtually\, please register below. \nUstadha Leila Fakira sends the webinar link to registered attendees after registration.  \nBook Purchase: \nIf you wish to follow along with the book\, you’ll need to purchase the book. The book is out of print\, but can be purchased here: \n\nhttps://www.antstores.com/search?type=product&q=9781597849425\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1597849421/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_mHaAFb4CRDKX5\n\nQuestions? bookclub@mcceastbay.org \n[wpforms id=”19807″ title=”false” description=”false”] \nAbout the Book\nOffering a comprehensive narrative of one of the most fascinating life stories of human history\, The Sultan of Hearts is an authoritative work on the life of Prophet Muhammad\, peace be upon him. The book relies firmly on canonical Hadith collections and Sirah literature\, and is rich with references to many contemporary biographical works such as Al-Maktabatu’s-Sirah\, Al-Maktabatu’l-Alfiyah\, and Al-Maktabatu’sh-Shamilah. \nThe Sultan of Hearts presents the life of the Prophet and the events that unfolded during his mission by contextualizing them with Qur’anic revelations. \nAnalyzing “reasons of revelation” (Asbab al-Nuzul)\, a method in Tafsir studies\, authors portray how every revealed verse of God’s word transformed his society and they reconstruct the biography based on this interaction between the scripture and the events. The book lays bare the role of the Qur’an in the education of the large congregation of the Companions\, and with it reveals the kind of teaching and drill that the Messenger of Allah exercised in his close circle. \nThe developments that preceded and followed the statements of the beloved Prophet are reported extensively in order to point to both the educational aspects of the Qur’an and the role of our noble Prophet in transforming people’s lives. There are also detailed accounts of the spiritual and psychological states of many individuals from those who believed the Prophet and those who did not.

The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs and horses are also able to use this trail. See here: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/thermalito-ridgeline-oak-tree-trail–2 \n\nLength: 6.2 mi\nElevation gain: 1\,325 ft.\nRoute type: Loop\nAbout The Park\nThis beautiful 5\,271-acre parkland is on the oak-covered ridge overlooking Pleasanton and the Livermore Valley from the west. It is planned as the core of a Ridgelands Regional Park to be acquired over a period of many years. Parkland development has been intentionally limited to preserve the pastoral atmosphere. \nThe park occupies Pleasanton Ridge and beyond. To the northwest it spills down off Pleasanton Ridge into upper Kilkare Canyon\, where it continues up onto Sunol Ridge\, finally terminating at its westernmost corner in Stoneybrook Canyon. Inside the park\, elevations exceed 1\,600 feet. \n\nPark Activities\nFrom the main staging area on Foothill Road you can follow a multi-purpose trail system\, which accommodates hikers\, equestrians\, and bicyclists\, provides canyon views and ridge-top vistas\, and access to remote\, deep-canyon streams. \nPark Accessibility\nThere are one paved disabled parking and one wheelchair accessible portable toilet in the Foothill staging area. The two old redwood type drinking fountains would allow a wheelchair to get under but there is no smooth surface under these facilities. The park will install an upgraded fountain this summer for wheelchair users in an area by the disabled parking. There is one picnic table that can accommodate two wheelchairs and is also next to the disabled parking. The trails in the park are all multi-use dirt trails so they are more suitable for visitors who use electric wheelchair. \nTrail Accessibility Report\nOak Tree Trail: Download PDF | Download MS Word \nTo Reach The Park\nFrom I-680 in Pleasanton\, exit at Castlewood Drive and go west. Turn left (south) onto Foothill Road\, towards the town of Sunol. The Foothill Staging Area is about two miles from Castlewood Drive\, on the right. \n\nPublic transit information\n\nTransit & Trails: Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park (transit\, biking\, and walking directions) \nTrail Map\nClick the map image below to see an enlarged version. \n \n\n
