SUMMARY:*POSTPONED* Muhammad (peace be upon him) in the Old Testament | Ustadh Dr. Ali Ataie
DESCRIPTION:*Due to a scheduling conflict\, this event is postponed until after Ramadan ’26. We will announce a new date soon.*\nOne of the most powerful proofs of prophecy is to demonstrate that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is described in ancient texts whose compositions predate his birth by hundreds and hundreds of years. \nIn this seminar\, Dr. Ali Ataie will guide us through a fascinating historical\, exegetical\, and linguistic examination of the biblical text in an attempt to validate the Quran’s claim that “the Messenger” and “Gentile/Unlettered Prophet” is “described with them in the Torah and the Gospel\,” although the focus will be on the Tanakh (Old Testament). \nThis lecture will cover topics such as comparative hermeneutical frameworks\, debunking the “Islamic Dilemma\,” the historical-critical method\, the subtleties of ancient sacred poetry\, and close readings of the biblical text in the original language (Hebrew). \nThis free all-day Saturday workshop is a must for students of comparative religion and serious callers (du’at) to the Religion of Allah. \n10 a.m. to 4 p.m. | Saturday\, February 7\, 2026* | Conference Room | Free | Join us in person or watch virtually at mcceastbay.org/live \n*Due to a scheduling conflict\, this event is postponed until after Ramadan ’26. We will announce a new date soon.* \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \n\n\n\n– More Dr. Ali Ataie: https://mcceastbay.org/ali-ataie \n\n\n\nUstadh Dr. Ali Ataie is a leading scholar in comparative religion. He currently lectures at Zaytuna College in Berkeley\, California. He has taught at several Western academic institutions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession One (with one break): 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZuhr Prayer/lunch: 12:40 p.m. to 1:15 p.m.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession Two: 1:15 p.m. to 2:15 p.m.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCoffee/Tea break (provided by MCC): 2:15 p.m. to 2:25 p.m.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession Three: 2:25 p.m. to 4 p.m.\nAsr Prayer: 4:15 p.m.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n– More Dr. Ali Ataie: https://mcceastbay.org/ali-ataie \n\n\n\nUstadh Ali Ataie is a perennial student and researcher who has been involved in interfaith activities for over two decades. He holds a Master’s in Biblical Studies with a focus on the New Testament and biblical languages. He also holds a Ph.D. in cultural and historical studies in religion from the Graduate Theological Union. His doctoral work focused on Muslim hermeneutics of biblical texts\, especially the Gospel of John. He lives in San Ramon\, CA\, with his wife\, Roya\, and three daughters. Learn more about him at https://zaytuna.edu/academics/faculty/ali-ataie \nMuhammad ﷺ in the Old Testament \nWhile the Old Testament doesn’t explicitly name Muhammad (PBUH)\, Islamic tradition identifies several passages as prophecies foretelling his coming\, primarily in Deuteronomy 18:18-19\, which speaks of a prophet “like you (Moses)” raised from among the brethren\, and Deuteronomy 33:2 (Mount Paran/Ishmael). Other potential references include Song of Solomon 5:16 (interpreting “Muhammadim” as a name) and Isaiah 60:1-7 (describing light from the East). Christians generally interpret these prophecies differently\, often relating them to Jesus or other figures\, but Muslims see them as clear signs of Muhammad’s prophethood\, highlighting similarities to Moses (e.g.\, family life\, worldly leadership) that differ from Christian interpretations of Jesus.\n \nKey Old Testament Passages Cited by Islamic Tradition\n\nDeuteronomy 18:18-19: “I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth\, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. And whoever does not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name\, I myself will require it of him.”\n\nIslamic Interpretation: This prophet is like Moses (a lawgiver\, married\, had children\, natural birth) but not Jesus\, fulfilling the “from among your brothers” (referring to Ishmael’s descendants/Arabs).\n\n\nDeuteronomy 33:2: “The Lord came from Sinai\, and dawned from Seir upon them; he shone forth from Mount Paran\, and he came from the midst of ten thousand holy ones”.\n\nIslamic Interpretation: Sinai (Moses)\, Seir (Jesus)\, and Mount Paran (Mecca/Ishmael’s descendants).\n\n\nSong of Solomon 5:16 (Hebrew): Contains the word “Muhammadim” (often translated as “altogether lovely” or “desirable”).\n\nIslamic Interpretation: A direct\, albeit transliterated\, mention of the Prophet’s name.\n\n\nIsaiah 60:1-7: Mentions the rising of light from the East\, the gathering of flocks from Kedar (Ishmael’s son) and Nebaioth\, and the glorification of God’s house (Kaaba in Mecca). \n\nChristian Interpretations:\n\nMost Christians interpret the Deuteronomy prophecy as referring to Jesus Christ\, seeing him as the ultimate prophet “like Moses” (fulfilling the law\, being a great teacher).\nSong of Solomon 5:16 is generally regarded as poetic language describing a lover rather than a proper name. \n\nIn Summary:Muslim scholars use these passages to argue that the Old Testament prophesied Muhammad (PBUH)\, aligning his life and mission with these scriptural descriptions\, while Christian theology typically links these prophecies to Jesus or other figures\, viewing them as distinct from Muhammad.

SUMMARY:*Canceled* Skygazing for New Ramadan Moon
DESCRIPTION:Assalamu Alaikum MCC Family!With no verifiable sightings of the new crescent\, the first night of Ramadan will be tomorrow\, Wednesday\, Feb. 18\, after Isha (8 p.m.) led by Qari Amar Bellaha.The first day of Ramadan fasting begins on Thursday\, Feb. 19\, insha’Allah.Alhamdulillah\, we have been blessed with another opportunity to witness this holy month. We will stream Taraweeh live each night. Here is our nightly recitation schedule.For Tarweeh prayers\, worshipers may park in the neighboring Pleasanton School District parking lot (marked “HP on this map). \n \nLearn more: https://mailchi.mp/mcceastbay/533245-5060194?e=87dc03b073\n—\n \nAssalamu Alaikum\, Beloved MCC Family!Due to ongoing rain across the Bay Area\, we will not host our annual skygazing for the new moon of Ramadan after Maghrib today. However\, to keep this beautiful Sunnah alive\, we encourage everyone to still go out this evening and peer into the night sky. Due to overcast skies\, we have little chance of seeing the new crescent moon. MCC will review reports from other parts of the country. The new moon will be easily visible tomorrow evening\, inshaAllah.Therefore\, we expect the first day of fasting to be on Thursday\, February 19\, and the first night of Taraweeh prayers to be on Wednesday\, February 18. Qari Amar Bellaha leads Taraweeh prayers at MCC after Isha at 8 p.m.MCC will send an email notification this evening once we have received the final visibility reports.\nMCC adheres to the traditional science of naked-eye (unaided) new crescent moon (hilal) sighting to begin and end our Islamic lunar months.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith clear skies\, the crescent (hilal) would be visible shortly after sunset in the area above where the sun had set. It is a beautiful experience to witness its emergence\, and it is a sunnah of our noble Prophet ﷺ that we hope our ummah continues to revive. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*Due to rain in the forecast\, this event has been canceled.* \nCrescentwatch.org encourages everyone to go out to look for the new crescent moon (hilal) on the evening of Tuesday\, February 17th (after 29 days of Sha’ban) in anticipation of the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan. Qualified Muslim astronomers and reliable visibility forecasts indicate that on Tuesday evening\, a “naked-eye” (unaided) sighting of the new crescent moon will be highly unlikely in North America and worldwide. You can check the visibility forecast for your region here (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HBTWMP8bcAMqsPp?format=jpg&name=large).  \nWe will make a determination and final announcement regarding the start of Ramadan as early as possible\, but no later than Tuesday\, 7:30 pm PT. Please go out to look for the new crescent moon and submit your moon-sighting report here (http://www.crescentwatch.org/cgi-bin/cw.cgi?action=2).  \nThe crescent (hilal) would be visible shortly after sunset in the area above where the sun had set. It is a beautiful experience to witness its emergence\, and it is a sunnah of our noble Prophet ﷺ that we hope the ummah revives. Crescentwatch.org adheres to the traditional principle that Islamic lunar months begin and end based on the confirmed\, naked-eye sighting of the new crescent moon.  \nRevive the Sunnah to go outside and look for the new crescent moon in the evening sky that will mark the beginning of Ramadan. \n\n\n\nJoin us in the MCC parking lot after Maghrib sunset prayers (5:53 p.m.) on Tuesday\, February 17\, 2026\, and join in the excitement when the young crescent moon (hilal) ushers in the Holy Month of Ramadan. The Tri-Valley Stargazers will be in the parking lot (weather permitting) with high-visibility telescopes\, allowing us to peer into the night sky starting at 6 p.m. \nJupiter\, Saturn\, and Mercury (possibly Venus) will be visible if the evening sky is clear. \n\n\n\n\n\n523 Southern Halal BBQ food truck will sell dinners\, and Habibi’s Falooda will provide dessert from 5 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. \n\n\n\nMCC adheres to the traditional principle that Islamic lunar months begin and end based on confirmed\, verified naked-eye sightings of the new crescent moon globally. MCC will confirm the start of Ramadan in its newsletter on the evening of February 17 (subscribe at https://mcceastbay.org/newsletter). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n– If the new moon is sighted on Tuesday\, the first night of Taraweeh will be after Isha (8 p.m.) on Tuesday\, February 17\, 2026\, and the first day of fasting will be Wednesday\, February 18\, 2026.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n– If the new moon is not sighted on Tuesday\, the first night of Taraweeh will be after Isha (8 p.m.) on Wednesday\, February 18\, 2026\, and the first day of fasting will be Thursday\, February 19\, 2026.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe MCC homepage (mcceastbay.org) and MCC’s automated phone menu (925-485-1786) will announce the start of Ramadan by about 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday\, February 17. \n\n\n\nSince sunset will be at 5:53\, we will likely be able to see the new moon by about 6:45 p.m. \n\n\n\nMCC observes the beginning and end of lunar months following the sighting of the crescent moon. Please watch this video by Dr. Youssef Ismail from Zaytuna College for an explanation. \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \n\n\n\nThe du’a to recite if the crescent is sighted: \n\n\n\nاللَّهُمَّ أَهِلَّهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالأَمْنِ وَالإِيمَانِ، والسَّلامَةِ والإِسْلامِ، وَالتَّوْفِيقِ لِمَا تُحِبُّ وَتَرْضَى، رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكَ اللهُ \n\n\n\nAllaahumma ahillahu ‛alaynaa bil-amni wal-eemaani\, was-salaamati wal-islaami\, wat-tawfeeqi limaa tuḥibbu watarḍaa\, rabunaa wa rabbuk-allaahu-  \n\nO Allah\, let the crescent loom above us in peace and faith\, safety and Islam\, and in agreement with all that You love and pleases You. Our Lord and your Lord is Allah.  \n\n(Source: Sunan Al- Tirmidhi) \n\n\n\nQari Amar Bellaha will also be in the Hayward Hills on this Tuesday evening to look for the new crescent moon. If sighted\, he will read the special dua from high atop the hills and head down to lead the Taraweeh prayers on Tuesday at 8 p.m. He will be live-streaming his moonsighting atop the Hayward Hills at https://mcceastbay.org/live \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
