SUMMARY:Ride Your Bike to MCC Jumu'ah & Get a Free iniBurger Meal
DESCRIPTION:As MCC continues to grapple with heavy parking congestion at its weekly Jumu’ah services\, starting this Friday\, April 17\, 2026\, we’re excited to offer a special incentive for community members who choose to ride their bikes to the mosque. \nTo help reduce traffic and make things easier for everyone\, we’re encouraging biking as a great alternative. \nAs a thank-you to any worshiper attending the 1:30 p.m.\, 2:30 p.m.\, or 3:40 p.m. service\, the first 20 attendees each Friday who bike to the mosque will receive a complimentary Iniburger meal card good for a complimentary B’igi Burger combo. \nGift cards can be picked up from the Operations Office.

Please safely park your bike in front of the women’s entrance. \nThis promotion is sponsored by concerned MCC community members who do not want to see MCC’s critical conditional use permit jeopardized and who are appealing to our beloved congregation to attend the weekly off-site auxiliary Jumu’ah or to begin biking to MCC Jumu’ah instead of driving. \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \n\n \n \n

His legacy is not only a symbol of liberation but a powerful reminder of the dignity that Islam grants every soul. \nJoin us for a powerful evening at our Miftaah Seminar with Mufti Abdul Wahab Waheed as we reflect on the life\, struggles\, and elevation of this beloved companion of the Prophet ﷺ.‍ \nMufti Abdul Wahab Waheed\nMufti Abdul Wahab Waheed was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, MI.

Follow her @Dr.RaniaAwaad \n  \nTestimonials\n\n\n\n“The seminar was absolutely heart-wrenching in the most beautiful way. I found myself holding back tears not because Bilal’s (RA) story was unfamiliar\, but because of how it was told: woven with his deep love for Allah (swt) and the Prophet (pbuh) and how that love was honored and reciprocated. It was a powerful reminder that our deen isn’t just about what we believe\, but how those before us lived that belief.” – Anonymous\, Michigan\n\n\n \n\n\n\n“Every single moment of the session was filled with wisdom and emotion. There were moments of tears and moments of excitement and happiness. I truly believe this was one of the most heartfelt sessions I’ve ever attended\, Alhamdulillah. May Allah bless us so that we can participate in more opportunities and events like these\, Allahumma Ameen.” – Ali Askar Shaik\, Michigan

SUMMARY:Ride Your Bike to MCC Jumu'ah & Get a Free iniBurger Meal
DESCRIPTION:As MCC continues to grapple with heavy parking congestion at its weekly Jumu’ah services\, starting this Friday\, April 17\, 2026\, we’re excited to offer a special incentive for community members who choose to ride their bikes to the mosque. \nTo help reduce traffic and make things easier for everyone\, we’re encouraging biking as a great alternative. \nAs a thank-you to any worshiper attending the 1:30 p.m.\, 2:30 p.m.\, or 3:40 p.m. service\, the first 20 attendees each Friday who bike to the mosque will receive a complimentary Iniburger meal card good for a complimentary B’igi Burger combo. \nGift cards can be picked up from the Operations Office. Just let our staff member know that you rode your bicycle. Remember to wear your helmet! Please safely park your bike in front of the women’s entrance. \nThis promotion is sponsored by concerned MCC community members who do not want to see MCC’s critical conditional use permit jeopardized and who are appealing to our beloved congregation to attend the weekly off-site auxiliary Jumu’ah or to begin biking to MCC Jumu’ah instead of driving. \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \n\n \n \n

SUMMARY:Monthly Men's Hike: Brother in the Outdoors (Yosemite National Park)
DESCRIPTION:For Brothers! Join us for a special day trip to one of the most iconic hikes in the country. \nOur MCC Brothers Hiking Group is heading to Yosemite National Park to tackle the Mist Trail – two massive waterfalls\, 2\,158 ft of elevation gain\, and some of the most stunning scenery in California. This hike is rated hard and best suited for experienced hikers.\n\nSaturday\, April 25\, 2026 | 5:30 a.m. (after Fajr) | Start at MCC East Bay | Brothers 18+ only \nRSVP at mcceastbay.org/brothers-hike \n\nWhen: April 25\, 2026\nTime: 5:30 a.m. – Please arrive on time. We will begin carpooling promptly after Fajr.\nCarpool: Carpooling from MCC. Please RSVP on Partiful to be included in carpool coordination.\nMeeting Point: MCC East Bay\nTrail: Vernal and Nevada Falls via the Mist Trail\nDistance: 6.6 miles\nDifficulty: Hard\nMisc: No stops on the way – bring breakfast and coffee for the drive. Pack lunch and snacks for the trail. Wear shoes with a solid grip\, bring layers\, and expect to get wet near the falls.\nRSVP: By Sunday\, April 19\, please RSVP at mcceastbay.org/brothers-hike\n\nLogistics \n\nBrothers ages 18+ only.\nMeet at MCC for Fajr at 5:30 AM\, then we carpool straight to Yosemite — no stops\, so bring breakfast and coffee for the road.\nWe’re hiking the Mist Trail to Vernal and Nevada Falls. Two massive waterfalls\, 2\,158 ft of elevation gain\, ~5 hours. AllTrails rates it hard.\nWhat to bring:\n\nBreakfast & coffee for the drive\nLunch and snacks for the trail\nShoes with a solid grip — the rocks get slippery near the falls\nLayers — it gets wet up there\n\n\nParking at Yosemite can be limited. We’ll park wherever available in the valley and take the free shuttle to the trailhead. Plan to meet at the trailhead by a set time — more details to come.\nBrother Mohammad Kaddoura & Brother Din lead this special hike that will build fraternity amongst our congregation.\n\nAbout this trail: \nHike to two breathtaking waterfalls along some of Yosemite Valley’s most popular hiking trails. If you only have time for one hike while in Yosemite\, look no further – the Mist Trail is the hike for you. It is no wonder that this trail is one of the most traveled in Yosemite National Park. You will hike so close to these two massive waterfalls that you may get wet from the trail. The best time to hike this trail is in Spring or early Summer\, while the snow runoff is high and the falls are full of water. \nThe Mist Trail starts at Happy Isles Trailhead (YARTS Happy Isles shuttle stop #16\, and is within walking distance of Curry Village and the parking lot). The park recommends starting early to avoid the larger crowds. After a brief stroll along the river\, you climb a pretty steep initial ascent over stone steps until you reach the footbridge\, which offers the first glimpse of Vernal Falls in the distance. You will also find a water fountain and restrooms. You will then continue up to Vernal Falls\, past Emerald Pool\, and alongside Nevada Falls until you reach the high point of this hike. \nYou can choose to take the alternate route down along the John Muir Trail to see great views of Nevada Falls and Liberty Cap in the distance before meeting back up with the Mist Trail near the footbridge. This route back is slightly longer\, but offers a change of scenery and is easier on the knees. Before hopping back on the YARTS shuttle\, treat yourself to some ice cream or a refreshing drink at the small stand\, or head over to Curry Village for a wider selection. \nIn the 19th century\, Yosemite National Park was served by Buffalo Soldiers\, former Black regiments of the US Army. These men became the first Black national park rangers and backcountry rangers\, tasked with fighting fires\, preventing poaching\, and helping create the trails that millions of people explore each year. \n  \nMohammed Kadoura leads these monthly hikes for the brothers. If you have trouble finding the group on the day of the hike\, please call or text Br. Mohammed at (617) 935-7347. Please remember that we cannot hold the group\, so we request that you arrive on time. \nAbout Mohammed Kaddoura\nMohammed lives with his family in the Tri-Valley area and works in data analytics. He has been an active member of the MCC community for nearly three years\, organizing a weekly book club and a monthly men’s hiking group. He believes in the power of shared stories and genuine conversation\, and is drawn to spaces where people come together around ideas that matter. In his free time\, Mohammed enjoys running\, baking\, and spending time outdoors. \nFor future hikes\, please subscribe to the MCC newsletter and add your phone number to the Men’s Hiking WhatsApp group. \nPlease wear comfortable walking/hiking shoes\, carry a water bottle\, a small snack\, a hat\, sunglasses\, and hiking poles if you have any.  \nQuestions? hiking@mcceastbay.org

DESCRIPTION:As MCC continues to grapple with heavy parking congestion at its weekly Jumu’ah services\, we’re excited to offer a special incentive for community members who choose to ride their bikes to the mosque. \nTo help reduce traffic and make things easier for everyone\, we’re encouraging biking as a great alternative. \nAs a thank-you to any worshiper attending the 1:30 p.m.\, 2:30 p.m.\, or 3:40 p.m. service\, the first 20 attendees each Friday who bike to the mosque will receive a complimentary Iniburger meal card good for a complimentary B’igi Burger combo. \nGift cards can be picked up from the Operations Office.

Please safely park your bike in front of the women’s entrance. \nThis promotion is sponsored by concerned MCC community members who do not want to see MCC’s critical conditional use permit jeopardized and who are appealing to our beloved congregation to attend the weekly off-site auxiliary Jumu’ah or to begin biking to MCC Jumu’ah instead of driving. \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \n\n \n \n

SUMMARY:Overdose Response Training Workshop | Yumna Battisha (Clinton Global Initiative (CGI))
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a life-saving training on opioid overdose awareness and response\, grounded in the Qur’anic reminder: “And whoever saves one [life]\, it is as if he had saved mankind entirely” (5:32). Overdoses often occur in public or shared spaces and are frequently witnessed by others\, making timely intervention critical. \nThis session will equip participants with the knowledge to prevent\, recognize\, and respond to an opioid overdose\, while also addressing the stigma surrounding addiction. Participants will gain the confidence to safely administer naloxone in an emergency and take meaningful action in critical moments. \nSaturday\, May 2\, 2026 | 11:30 a.m to 1:00 p.m. | MCC Conference Room | Free session; please RSVP at mcceastbay.org/overdose \nSponsored by The Clinton Foundation & MCC East Bay. \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org  \nAbout the Facilitator\, Yumna Battisha \nYumna Battisha is a UCLA graduate with a degree in Psychology\, currently working in overdose prevention and harm reduction. She serves as the Director of Public Relations at T.A.C.O. Inc. (Team Awareness Combatting Overdose)\, where she focuses on community outreach\, education\, and expanding access to life-saving resources such as naloxone and fentanyl test strips. She is also a fellow with The Clinton Foundation\, where she explores faith-based approaches to addressing substance use and the overdose crisis. Her work is centered on making harm reduction more accessible\, culturally relevant\, and stigma-free\, with a strong commitment to equipping communities with the knowledge and tools to save lives. \nWhy This Is Important\nThe U.S. overdose crisis is among the most pressing and indiscriminate health challenges of our time. More than 100\,000 Americans died from drug overdose during the 12-month period ending in April 2021\, up almost 30 percent from the same period a year earlier. One life lost due to overdose is one too many\, and more must be done to save lives. \nFaith leaders are a trusted source of support and information\, and can influence attitudes and practices at the individual\, household\, and community levels. Faith leaders can use their unique and powerful platform to shatter the stigma that all too often keeps addiction in the shadows and blocks access to supportive resources. When faith leaders know how to respond\, they become a vital part of the solution to ending addiction and the overdose crisis. \nWHAT IS THE EMPOWERING FAITH LEADERS PROGRAM?\nThe Clinton Foundation collaborates with state and local partners\, including Georgia’s Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities\, Savannah’s Interfaith Addiction and Recovery Coalition\, and the Georgia Council on Substance Abuse\, to train faith leaders to address addiction and the overdose crisis using evidence-informed\, compassionate approaches. The program is free of cost. \nFaith leaders who participate: \n\nBuild knowledge\, skills\, and confidence to address addiction and the overdose crisis.\nLearn about local prevention\, treatment\, and recovery\, and harm reduction resources.\nReceive $2\,000.00 in funding and technical support to plan and implement community-based engagement projects to raise awareness\, share resources\, and reduce stigma.\nExplore how different faith traditions view substance use\, addiction\, and recovery\, and build bridges across communities.\nJoin a state-wide and national network of faith leaders working to address the issues.\n\nCURRICULUM OVERVIEW \n\nMODULE 1: Overview of the Overdose Epidemic and Community-Based Needs Assessment\nMODULE 2: Introduction to Community-Based Engagement Projects and Program Evaluation\nMODULE 3: Science of Addiction and The Role of Faith Leaders\nMODULE 4: Interfaith Dialogue and Collaboration\nMODULE 5: Overdose Prevention and Naloxone Training\nMODULE 6: Addressing Stigma from the Pulpit and Beyond\nMODULE 7: Community-Based Engagement Project Planning\nMODULE 8: Evidence-Based Treatment for Substance Use Disorders\nMODULE 9: Recovery from Substance Use Disorders\nMODULE 10: Community-Based Engagement Project Outcomes and Sustainability Plans
