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
