SUMMARY:Secrets of Divine Love – Men’s Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a weekly book club and discussion group as we collectively strive to mindfully open our hearts to Allah’s love for us and our love for Allah. We will read and reflect on A. Helwa’s internationally acclaimed book\, Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam (Studying Qur’an & Hadith). \nEach session will cover one chapter\, including group discussions\, reflections\, and selected exercises from the book. \nThe first session will be abridged\, focusing on the Introduction and the “Reading with an Open Heart” preface. It will also set the stage for the remainder of the series for those planning to attend most or all sessions. \nWhile we encourage consistent attendance for the benefit of shared reflection and continuity\, each session is self-contained\, and participants are welcome to drop in even if they cannot commit to every week. Sidi Mohammed Kaddoura facilitates this group. \nStarts May 14 | Wednesdays | 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. | Conference Room | In-person only \nClass Schedule (Download discussion guide)\n\nIntroduction & Reading with an Open Heart\n    May 14\, 2025\nChapter 1 – Allah\n    May 21\, 2025\nChapter 2 – Humanity\n    May 28\, 2025\nChapter 3 – Qur’an\n    June 4\, 2025\nChapter 4 – Islam / Iman / Ihsan\n    June 11\, 2025\nChapter 5 – Tawba\n    June 18\, 2025\nChapter 6 – Shahadah\n    June 25\, 2025\nChapter 7 – Salat\n    July 2\, 2025\nChapter 8 – Zakat\n    July 9\, 2025\nChapter 9 – Ramadan\n    July 16\, 2025\nChapter 10 – Hajj\n    July 23\, 2025\nChapter 11 – Death\n    July 30\, 2025\nChapter 12 – Heaven and Hell\n    August 6\, 2025\nConclusion\n    August 13\, 2025\n\nDisclaimer\nThis book club is intended to stimulate thought and reflection\, not to teach deen. It is not a fiqh or aqidah class. The book contains various concepts and references that may not align with traditional Islamic scholarship. \nIf you have any questions about what scholars say regarding a topic discussed in the book or during the sessions\, we strongly recommend consulting a scholar you know and trust. You may also forward your question to the organizers so we can seek guidance from a qualified scholar and share it with the group. \nWe approach the book’s abstract ideas as thought experiments and the exercises as opportunities for spiritual reflection\, not as a substitute for traditional Islamic scholarship. \nDiscussion Group Guidelines\n\nEveryone has something to say; everyone has something to learn.\nShy participants are encouraged to contribute.\nTalkative participants are encouraged to listen more.\nConfidentiality is essential.\nDo not share other participants’ reflections outside the group. It’s okay to say\, “someone in my book club made me think about…” but not “so-and-so said…”\nGive 70 excuses.\nAssume good intentions. If disagreements arise\, remember our shared goal is growth. We leave differences in the room and continue with brotherhood outside of it.\nMaintain emotional awareness.\nThe topics we discuss may evoke strong emotions. All participants are expected to remain calm\, respectful\, and emotionally intelligent. Please avoid getting carried away in conversation. Proper etiquette is required at all times.\n\nBook Purchase\nPlease purchase the book in advance if you want to follow along.

It is for anyone who has felt distant from God or overwhelmed by their imperfections. \nThis book serves as a guide back to divine peace and surrender. Through the practices and pillars of Islam\, A. Helwa invites readers to unlock their spiritual potential and deepen their relationship with Allah. Blending Qur’an verses\, Hadith\, poetry\, psychology\, science\, and mystical stories\, the book offers a heart-based yet intellectually grounded approach to spiritual growth. \n\nAuthor: A.

The Qur’an also reminds us: “Remember Allah during the appointed days.” \nIn the hadith\, we find The Prophet ﷺ mention: “There are no days greater and more beloved to Allah than these ten days of Dhul Hijjah\, so increase in them your declaration of the oneness of Allah (tahleel)\, your exaltation of him (takbeer)\, and your praise of Him (tahmeed).” \nThe scholars remind us to spend these sacred days by increasing in worship\, specifically: \n\nFast for the first 9 days\, or at least on Day of ‘Arafah (9th of Dhul-Hijjah) — which is on Friday\, July 8.\nIncrease in your recitation of the Qur’an – at least Surah Yaseen after Fajr\, Surah Waqi’ah & Mulk anytime after Maghrib.\nIncrease in Sadaqah — aim to give a small amount every day.\nIncrease in supererogatory (nawafil) prayers — maintain all your sunnah prayers & aim to wake for tahajjud.\nIncrease in Istighfar (seeking forgiveness) — aim for 100X a day.\nReach out to your relatives\, forgive & forget the past.\nSignificantly increase your Salawaat upon the Prophet (ﷺ) — aim for 100X a day.\n\nMake Du’a and talk to Allah as much as you can. \nJazakAllah Khayr\nImam Tahir Anwar

No boys over the age of eight are allowed. \nDates for Monthly Women’s Mawlid at MCC East Bay \n\n– Saturday\, November 23\, 2024 \n– Saturday\, December 28\, 2024\n– Saturday\, January 25\, 2025\n– Saturday\, February 22\, 2025\n– No session in Ramadan in March ’25\n– Saturday\, April 26\, 2025\n– Saturday\, May 31\, 2025 (date changed due to Memorial Day weekend)\n\nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \nThe Mawlid is a joyous expression of the greatest blessing from Allah. \nWe take this blessed opportunity monthly to remind ourselves of the three sacred rights that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ requires from us\, instilling in us a deep sense of respect and reverence. \n\n– Marifah – Recognizing who the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is\n– Muhabbah – Loving the Messenger of Allah ﷺ\n– Ittiba’ – Obedience to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ\n\nThe second two (loving and obeying) are not entirely possible without genuinely recognizing the first – who the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was. This recognition enlightens us and deepens our knowledge of his teachings.

Some scholars may have viewed it as obligatory. However\, most see it as a voluntary (sunnah/mustahab) act. For those who wish to do Qurbani\, it is mustahab (or voluntary sunnah) to avoid cutting hair and nails until the Qurbani is slaughtered. However\, if you cut any hair or nails\, your Qurbani is accepted and does not affect the validity. \n\n\n\nDeeds of the Day of Arafah \n\n\n\nThe Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “Fasting the day of Arafah expiates the sins of two years: the past one and the coming one.” (Muslim). So\, don’t miss the reward of fasting it\, and join the community iftars at Masjid Annoor and the Qur’an Center on that day. \n\n\n\nAlso\, increase your dhikr\, recitation of the Qur’an\, good deeds\, and duas before the morning of Eid. Don’t forget to include your family\, friends\, relatives\, neighbors\, MCC community\, and the wider Ummah in your duas\, and make a special dua for our brothers in Gaza/Palestine on this special day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*The Islamic calendar is based on the lunar cycle\, so significant days shift forward 11 days each year. The sighting of the moon determines the start and end of Ramadan and Eid. \nAccording to the regional moonsighting\, Eid Al Adha ’24 will be celebrated on Friday\, June 6. MCC follows the traditional moon-sighting method\, which relies on regional\, verifiable naked-eye sightings of the new crescent moon to determine the start of all Hijri months. Please see this video to understand this practice. MCC honors the variation at the beginning of each Islamic month based on the new moon being sighted on different days in different places\, and some communities do moon calculations. All are valid. Please observe with your community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMCC follows the traditional moon-sighting method\, which relies on regional\, verifiable naked-eye sightings of the new crescent moon to determine the start of all Hijri months.

SUMMARY:What is Islamic Philosophy? | Bhawana Mishra
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we examine the history of philosophy “without any gaps” and explore the ideas\, lives\, and historical context of the major philosophers and lesser-known figures of the tradition. \n7 p.m. to 9 p.m. | Friday\, June 13 | MCC Conference Room | Join in person or watch virtually at mcceastbay.org/live \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \nAbout the Speaker: \nBhawana Mishra was born and raised in the Bay Area and attended college and graduate school. Her master’s thesis was “Toward a Single-Consciousness: Challenging ‘un-American-ness’ of People of Color.” She is most interested in political and legal philosophy\, particularly ideas around race\, social justice\, and equity. \nBhawana Mishra started teaching at Evergreen Valley College in 2011. She believes that Philosophy is something one should not simply learn\, but something one should learn to DO because philosophy and ideas can change oneself and the world! Her greatest hope is that students discover their ideas about some of the biggest questions and are willing to evolve. Outside work\, she loves being outdoors\, traveling\, doing logic and math puzzles\, reading\, and watching British period dramas. She is married to her best friend\, with whom she has two children. \nIslamic philosophy is a field of study that examines philosophical concepts and inquiries within the context of Islamic tradition and thought\, often seeking to reconcile faith and reason. It explores fundamental questions about existence\, knowledge\, morality\, and the divine\, drawing from the Quran\, Islamic teachings\, and various philosophical traditions\, including Greek philosophy.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKey Aspects of Islamic Philosophy:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReconciliation of Faith and Reason:\n\nA core aim of Islamic philosophy is to harmonize religious beliefs with rational inquiry\, exploring the relationship between revelation and reason.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInfluence of Greek Philosophy:\n\nIslamic philosophers\, particularly in the early Islamic Golden Age\, engaged with and adapted Greek philosophical concepts\, including Aristotelianism and Neoplatonism.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMajor Themes and Schools:\n\nIslamic philosophy encompasses a wide range of themes\, including metaphysics\, epistemology\, ethics\, and theology\, and has seen the emergence of various schools of thought\, such as Falsafa (using Aristotelian and Neoplatonic frameworks) and Kalam (dealing with theological debates).  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNotable Thinkers:\n\nKey figures in Islamic philosophy include Al-Kindi\, Al-Farabi\, Ibn Sina (Avicenna)\, Ibn Rushd (Averroes)\, Al-Ghazali\, Ibn Khaldun\, and others who have made significant contributions to philosophical discourse.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImpact and Legacy:\n\nIslamic philosophy has influenced various intellectual traditions\, including medieval scholasticism and modern European philosophy\, leaving a lasting impact on the development of philosophical thought.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn essence\, Islamic philosophy represents a unique intellectual endeavor that blends Islamic beliefs and practices with philosophical inquiry\, exploring the nature of reality\, knowledge\, and the divine through a lens informed by both faith and reason.

Generally considered a moderately challenging route. This is a very popular area for fishing\, hiking\, and horseback riding\, so you’ll likely encounter other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. \nThis is a beautiful hiking area with both paved and dirt trails that are moderately steep and lovely views of the water. If desired\, you can avoid a large portion of the paved East Shore Trail by taking the southern Cameron Loop after crossing the Honker Bay bridge\, Ten Hills Trail\, and Indian Cove Trail\, leaving a very short paved section to the Marina. \nAccessibility: \nAccording to Access Northern California (https://accessnca.org/access-northern-california/explore/explore-detail-view/?site_id=238): Lake Chabot is a popular destination for families and bustles on weekends. Among the many amenities you can find are multiple picnic areas\, a grassy play area\, fishing\, an outdoor fitness zone with interactive exercise machines (one is designed for wheelchair access)\, and miles of lakefront trails. The Marina has a café\, tackle and bait shop\, rental boats\, and seasonal lake tours aboard the tour boat “Chabot Queen.” The ramp to the boats is accessible but quite steep. To board the tour boat\, a portable ramp is available. The paved West Shore and East Shore trails around the lake offer some access\, although their steep terrain may deter some with limited mobility. They are worth the effort if possible because it feels as though you’re far from the nearby bustling cities. Although paved\, the West Shore Trail has numerous steep grades throughout as it travels high above the lake\, passing in and out of shade provided by oaks\, bay laurel\, willow\, and cottonwood trees. Poison oak is plentiful\, as well as vetch\, blackberries\, and blue-eyed grass. A few interpretive panels about the dam’s history are towards the end of this 2-mile route. Benches are scattered throughout\, although most have a steep grade to reach them.
