SUMMARY:Fast On the Day Of Ashura
DESCRIPTION:We are now in Muharram\, which is the first month of the Islamic new year. The blessed day of ‘Ashura is this Friday\, July 28. \n\n\n\nPlease calendar now to fast on the 10th of this month and either the day before or after (so the 9th or 11th of Muharram). \n\n\n\nThe 10th of Muharram is on Friday\, July 28\, so let’s please fast either Thursday and Friday or Friday and Saturday\, inshaAllah. MCC will host a community Iftar on Friday\, July 28. \n\n\n\n\n– Shaykh Rami Nsour will also give a talk about this particular time on the day of Ashura: https://mcceastbay.org/event/ashura-program-iftar\n\n\n\n– More talks & sermons on Muharram: https://mcceastbay.org/muharram\n\n\n\n– For more information about the Day of Ashura\, see https://seekersguidance.org/articles/the-day-of-ashura\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the Day of Ashura?\n\n\n\nAshura marks the day that Moses and the Israelites were saved from Pharaoh by God creating a path in the Sea and is the Islamic equivalent to Yom Kippur. In Sunni Islam\, Ashura follows the traditions of Judaism with a day of fasting – commemorating the parting of the Red Sea for Moses and his followers to escape Pharaoh. The Prophet Muhammad thought this tradition was worth following\, so he fasted and encouraged his followers to do the same. On this day\, Muslims fast and celebrate by reflecting\, showing respect\, and thanks. Is fasting required? Fasting is not compulsory during Ashura\, but some Muslims choose to fast for one or two days. This is because the Prophet Muhammad was said to have fasted on the day of Ashura. \n\n\n\nWhen is Ashura 2022?\n\n\n\nAshura falls on the tenth day of Muharram (the first month of the Islamic year) in the Muslim calendar – which this year is Monday\, August 8. \n\n\n\nIn 2022\, the day is commemorated\, beginning on Sunday evening and ending on the evening of Monday\, August 8. Islamic religious dates are tabular: they begin at sunset on the first evening and end at sunset on the second evening. The date changes each year as the calendar used by Muslims – the Hijri calendar – is ten to 12 days shorter than the Gregorian. \n\n\n\nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \n\n\n\n\n– More talks & sermons on Muharram: https://mcceastbay.org/muharram\n\n\n\n\nThe month of Muharram is considered special by all Muslims and is one of the four sacred months of the year\, which brings with it the day of Ashura\, or the “Tenth day” of the month when fasting is recommended (with or without the addition of a day prior or after). \n\n\n\nFollowing the Prophetic tradition\, MCC invites all East Bay residents to fast on the day of Ashura\, which starts on the evening of Sunday\, August 7\, and during the day of Monday\, August 8. \n\n\n\nThe first is the Hijrah\, the migration of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions from Mecca to Medina in 622 AD. This birth of a pluralistic Muslim community marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar and served as the key turning point for the first Muslims and the future of Islam. The Hijrah also marks the beginning of a new chapter for humanity\, where freedom of faith and justice for all became the cardinal principles of the newly founded society and a model for us to aspire to. \n\n\n\nThe other two historical events took place on the 10th day of Muharram\, called Ashura\, and after completing the migration to Medina\, the Prophet witnessed the Jews of Medina fasting to celebrate the victory of Prophet Musa (PBUH) and his people over the Egyptian Pharaoh. Prophet Muhammad then asked his companions to join this fasting tradition to express their gratitude to Allah for saving Musa and his people. \n\n\n\nOn the same day\, just six decades later\, the Prophet’s grandson Husayn ibn Ali was martyred in the Battle of Karbala. This was one of the saddest and most heartbreaking events in the history of Islam\, which we continue to mourn today. As we commemorate Ashura\, for Prophet Musa and Imam Husayn\, we are called to re-commit to our struggle against all forms of tyranny and oppression and to seek liberty and justice for all. Following the Prophet Muhammad tradition\, MCC invites you all to fast on the day of Ashura. \n\n\n\nLet us take this day to continue the practice of our beloved Prophet and pray for the unity of our ummah (community).

SUMMARY:Weeklong Girls Camp | Sr. Maryam Awwal
DESCRIPTION:For girls ages 13-18\, join us for an intensive week of spiritual renewal\, where we go over Imam al-Haddad’s work\, The Lives of Man\, and connect ourselves to our Creator by learning the five stages of human life. \n\n\n\nMonday – Friday\,  July 24 – July 28 | 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. | Register required at mcceastbay.org/youth-intensive \n\n\n\nAbout the book \n\n\n\nA dramatic exposition of the classical Muslim division of human life into five stages: before conception\, life in the world\, life in the grave\, the resurrection\, and heaven or hell. Extensive Qur’anic and Hadith references explain the condition of the soul at each stage.Based on the Qu’ran and Hadith\, in this fascinating book\, Imam al-Haddad explains that every human being passes through several “lives:” before conception\, life in the world\, life in the grave\, the Resurrection\, and finally\, the Garden or the Fire. A complete Muslim must be aware of each of these if he is to be sufficiently prepared for eternal life. \n\n\n\nWhat happens after Death? Who are “Munkar and Nakir?” What will Heaven and Hell be like? What signs should we expect before the day of Judgement? Who is the Dajjal? When will the Mahdi appear? \n\n\n\nThese and many other questions are answered\, on the basis of the Qu’ran and Hadith\, in this fascinating book. Imam al-Haddad explains that every human being passes through the “lives:” before conception\, life in the world\, life in the grave\, the Resurrection\, and finally\, the Garden of the Fire. A complete Muslim must be aware of each of these if he is to be sufficiently prepared for eternal life. \n\n\n\nAbout the author \n\n\n\nImam Abdallah Ibn-Alawi Al-Haddad lived in Tarim in the Hadramant Valley between Yemen and Oman and is widely held to have been the ‘renewer’ of the twelfth Islamic century. He was a noted authority on the Shafi’i school of jurisprudence and a writer on devotional matters\, both in poetry and prose. His works have been translated into many languages. Imam al-Haddad died in 1132 A.H.\, having spent his life bringing people to their Lord through his oral and written teaching and his exemplary life. He was buried in a simple grave in the cemetery at Tarim. \n\n\n\nAbout the Facilitators \n\n\n\nMaryam Awwal is a second-year Master of Arts student at Zaytuna College studying Islamic law and legal theory. She has a master’s in Counseling Psychology from the Wright Institute and is pursuing an associate’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and Professional Clinical Counseling. \n\n\n\nShe also has a BA in Liberal Arts & Islamic Studies from Zaytuna College and a BA in Economics from UC Davis. After graduating\, she hopes to further her education in various sacred Islamic sciences and support the development of sound Muslim communities in the West.Zaid Khanani is a Marriage and Family Therapy trainee with the City of Fremont\, Youth and Family Services.

Considered a “global trauma expert\,” Dr. Reda has consulted for the UN and WHO and has extensive experience working with survivors of all kinds of trauma (with a soft spot in his heart for children and refugees). He works on breaking family cycles of trauma through the Untangled model of care used in communities across the USA and abroad. His latest book\, “The Wounded Healer” (W.W. Norton & Company\, 2022)\, calls upon healers to break free from the cycles of secrecy\, toxic stress\, and silent suffering to continue to empower and inspire those in their care. \nDr. Reda leads the Daughter Father Bonding Project\, a family healing project designed to bond daughters and their fathers. This relationship is scary; both daughters and fathers deserve to heal and strengthen their bond by opening channels of communication and building bridges of trust. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Muslim Singles Meet and Greet
DESCRIPTION:Are you a single Muslim or Muslimah looking for the right partner to form a happy marriage? Then this event is for you. \n\n\n\nEvery four months\, MCC East Bay teams with the much-lauded Half Our Deen platform (and Baba Ali) to run a thoughtful\, fun\, private quarterly matrimonial event that is a profound departure from the tired traditional match-making session and that uses personality questions & fun activities to help our singles sisters and brothers get closer to finding a spouse. \n\n\n\nThis is an appropriately done matrimonial event – from thoughtfully screening every application\, an equal ratio of men to women\, and a fair chance for all to engage in a fun and exciting way through activities that melt the awkwardness of a singles mixer. This event is co-hosted with MCC\, and the event venue will be shared only with approved applicants. \n\n\n\n12:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. | Saturday\, August 5 | Exact address is TBA to registered attendees only (the venue is in Pleasanton) | $94/person (fewer than 70 spots available) | Registration now open at https://mcceastbay.org/singles \n\n\n\nIf you cannot make this event\, sign up for our notification list for the next quarterly event: https://mcceastbay.org/wait \n\n\n\nMCC has a standing policy that financial need should not hold a person back from benefiting from any event held in the MCC facility or cosponsored by MCC. To request a discounted or full financial waiver\, please visit https://mcceastbay.org/scholarship \n\n\n\nThis event breaks from ineffective speed-dating matrimonial events and traditional match-making. This game-oriented event caters to the need for more creative and effective ways to meet and learn about others. Many premarital and personality questions are incorporated into the event activities to allow for a quick dip into meaningful relationship questions. \n\n\n\nThe Bay is filled with Muslim singles\, and we will sell out.  \n\n\n\nQuestions? offline@halfourdeen.com or events@mcceastbay.org \n\n\n\nWhat to expect?\n\n\n\nFun \n\n\n\nWe don’t play musical chairs because relationships aren’t based on 3-minute conversations. So\, instead\, we have exclusive fun games and activities designed specifically for marriage-minded Muslims to help you naturally learn about each other. (Here is a sneak peek into an actual live event) \n\n\n\nFiltered \n\n\n\nWe are the only Muslim organization that filters our applicants and hand-picks every attendee. This allows us to select members most likely to be compatible and helps ensure we have a balanced number of men and women at every event. \n\n\n\nProven \n\n\n\n61% of the attendees at our last event found a match. No other single event even comes close to the success of HD Live\, so it’s no surprise that about 25% of attendees travel (including flights from outside the state and country) to attend this exclusive event. \n\n\n\nPrivate \n\n\n\nOur close-door events are at undisclosed locations because we take privacy very seriously. We believe that the only people that should know you’re attending the event are the people attending the event. In addition\, our HD Live app allows you to show interest without the fear of rejection since matches are privately sent at midnight and only if the interest is mutual. \n\n\n\nFAQs from MCC\n\n\n\nWho can register?\n\n\n\nThis event is designed for Muslim singles from Northern California to meet privately and casually. Space is limited. Muslims from all states can apply\, but priority will be given to singles residing in Northern California\, particularly the San Francisco Bay Area. If our single sisters and brothers give positive feedback\, MCC intends to cohost matrimonial events bi-annually or quarterly. \n\n\n\nWho is the moderator?\n\n\n\nBaba Ali\, the co-founder of Half Our Deen\, is an Iranian-born American comedian\, game developer\, businessman\, and actor. He is the co-founder of the revolutionary matchmaking site Half Our Deen\, an alternative to the Muslim dating apps we see today. He is also the founder of Ummah Films\, a Muslim film company that attempts to provide Halal entertainment to Muslims and non-Muslims. Baba Ali rose to prominence within the online Muslim community with Ummah Films\, which discusses various Islamic topics using humor. \n\n\n\nBaba Ali has traveled the world doing stand-up to a wide range of Muslim and non-Muslim audiences. He has performed all over the United States\, United Kingdom\, and Canada\, performing for audiences as large as 37\,000 and all ages. He has been reviewed in The New York Times\, USA Today\, and Los Angeles Times and featured in seven episodes of DirecTV’s The Fizz News. Ali Ardekani is a video blogger to his viewers as Baba Ali. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=bHsyJCpSQJ0%3Fenablejsapi%3D1%26wmode%3Dopaque\n\n\n\n\nWhy is MCC collaborating with Half Our Deen?\n\n\n\nHalf Our Deen is an expert in the Muslim matching department and has a system that works. Their website and offline match-making events use personality matching to help connect like-minded Muslims and create lasting matches. For the last 11 years\, the site has explicitly catered to marriage-minded Muslims and has over 2500+ success stories. Our event is modeled on their successful system. \n\n\n\nMCC East Bay is pleased to offer our single community in the Bay Area the ability to use Half Our Deen’s resources to search for a spouse. HOD is unique in its ability to offer personality testing\, high privacy standards\, and offline events\, which we believe will enhance the process for our single Muslims. \n\n\n\nEveryone deserves to find true love and happiness in marriage. MCC is privileged to be a part of your life story by helping to facilitate this chance to meet the right person! \n\n\n\nHow does it work?\n\n\n\n\nFill out the brief application telling us about yourself and who you are looking for. You will receive an email with the following steps within a few days. You must add offline@halfourdeen.com to your contacts to prevent bouncebacks and spam/promotional archiving.\n\n\n\nIf your application is accepted\, you will need to register for the event and make your payment to secure your seat.\n\n\n\nThe event will take place at a private location near Pleasanton\, California. Exact location details will be provided only to accepted attendees before the event.\n\n\n\n\nQuestions? offline@halfourdeen.com \n\n\n\nI cannot afford the registration fee.\n\n\n\nMCC has a standing policy that financial need should not hold a person back from benefiting from any event held in the MCC facility or cosponsored by MCC. To request a discounted or full financial waiver\, please visit https://mcceastbay.org/scholarship \n\n\n\nIs there an age limit?\n\n\n\nThere is no age limit. This event is for adults 18+. Your selection for the event depends on attendees in the same range apply for this event. \n\n\n\nTo increase the chances of successful matches\, we use a selection process to ensure quality and compatible candidates are in attendance. The goal is compatibility. For example\, if most applicants indicate that the maximum age they are looking for in a spouse is 40\, and you are older\, your application would not be accepted. However\, please don’t let this deter you from applying for our future events\, as acceptance criteria change based on who is used for each event. \n\n\n\nIs lunch offered?\n\n\n\nWe will have snacks\, coffee\, and tea. We will not have time for a full-fledged meal. Please ensure you have a hearty meal before the event begins at noon. \n\n\n\nWill I still receive my confirmation if I am on the waiting list?\n\n\n\nIf it is determined that no compatible matches for you will be in attendance at the event\, you will be placed on a waiting list. As we receive more applications\, the criteria might change\, and there will be a chance that you are still invited to the event. We do our best to invite as many matches as possible to increase everyone’s chances of meeting the right person. If you still haven’t heard from us in the weeks leading into the event\, no candidates matched your criteria at this particular event. Please be patient and try again at another MCC matrimonial event (sign up for our newsletter at https://mcceastbay.org/newsletter). \n\n\n\nDo I need a HalfOurDeen membership to attend the event?\n\n\n\nYou do not need a membership with HalfOurDeen to apply for this event; however\, accepted applicants must complete their profile on HOD to attend. You will need a profile on HalfOurDeen to participate since a unique online/offline interaction characterizes this singles event. If you’re not already a member of HalfOurDeen\, no problem. HalfOurDeen is providing a 90-day free trial membership for all MCC event attendees. Please note that your trial membership ends after 90 days so that you won’t be charged until the 31st. You can cancel right after the event if you choose. One particular advantage is that after meeting individuals at the event\, you can learn more about them through their online profiles before connecting. A HOD-free membership will allow you to view anyone’s profile\, which is also registered with the site. This way\, there is no need to exchange personal information at the event\, and all follow-up communication can be done safely through the HOD website after the event. \n\n\n\nHow do you screen applicants?\n\n\n\nDuring the application process\, applicants will answer a questionnaire that tells us a little about them and what they are looking for (or not looking for). Answers are then compared to the answers of all other applicants to determine who can attend to increase the chances for successful matches based on compatibility and personality matching. \n\n\n\nWhy was my application not accepted?\n\n\n\nTo increase the chances of successful matches\, we use a selection process to ensure quality and compatible candidates are in attendance. The goal is compatibility. For example\, if most applicants indicate that the maximum age they are looking for in a spouse is 40\, and you are older\, your application would not be accepted. However\, please don’t let this deter you from applying for our future events\, as acceptance criteria change based on who applies for each event. \n\n\n\nCan I bring a family member or a friend to the event?\n\n\n\nNo. This event is specifically tailored to the applicants who apply and are accepted based on the information provided during the application process. Everything from the games played to the seating chart is specific to those who have secured a spot. That is why only those who have applied and been accepted can attend. Moreover\, this is a private event\, and to protect the privacy of others\, only those who have been accepted will be given specific event details that must not be shared with anyone. Please encourage your friends who want to attend to apply! To keep this event as private as possible\, the candidates are the only people allowed to attend it. Our committee members will do their best to keep all interactions focused and constantly monitored throughout the event. \n\n\n\nWhat should I do if I haven’t received a confirmation email?\n\n\n\nIf you have not received a payment submission email after completing your application\, we are receiving a high volume of applications and are still processing them. If you still haven’t heard from us by Feb 28th\, no candidates were matching your criteria at this particular event. If you have any questions about the selection process\, please watch this https://youtu.be/NqHiZXhWtcw \n\n\n\nHow is this event different from other Muslim matrimonial events that have taken place in NorCal?\n\n\n\nWe are making every effort to ensure that our event is done professionally organized manner that aligns with Islamic principles. Unlike other events\, we will thoroughly vet all applicants via a detailed application. This process will ensure that the attendees are serious about marriage and that there are enough attendees of the opposite gender potentially compatible with *you* and your preferences. We will try our best to have as close to a 50:50 ratio of females to males as possible. \n\n\n\nWe will have a wide variety of structured activities that will help you get to know the potential in a low-key\, pressure-free\, and fun way. Our activities will be structured so people of all personality types can easily participate. So whether introverted\, extroverted\, or somewhere in the middle\, you can participate in all the activities quickly—and\, more importantly\, get to know the potential in the process. You can also have the peace of mind of knowing that no one will have the spotlight on them at any time. \n\n\n\nIn order to keep in line with Islamic principles\, our event will be constantly monitored by chaperones who will ensure that all interactions are kept professional and focused. They will also be there to help facilitate conversation and answer questions as necessary. \n\n\n\nCan I be sure that the information on my application will be kept private?\n\n\n\nAbsolutely. This is our Amanah (trust)\, and we will not release your information to anyone without your permission. Your application will only be reviewed by the HOD Offline staff. \n\n\n\nI am worried that others might discover I will be at this event. How will the event be kept private?\n\n\n\nThe only people who know that you will be at the event…are those at the event (and\, of course\, the people you tell). The MCC Matrimony Committee or HOD Offline will not inform anyone of your attendance. We are also keeping the event location private. Once you have fully registered and paid\, the venue address will only be sent to you. So please do not share the event location with anyone! \n\n\n\nIs there a dress code?\n\n\n\nOur only dress code is that your clothing must be by Islamic principles (clothes cannot be revealing\, tight\, or see-through). Other than that\, feel free to express your personality! Remember that you want to protect yourself best while remaining modest and genuine. \n\n\n\nI do not wear a headscarf in public. Do I have to wear one to the event?\n\n\n\nAlthough we highly encourage everyone to dress as closely by Islamic principles as possible\, we will not ask that you wear a headscarf\, as the event is not in a masjid prayer space. That said\, anyone dressed inappropriately will not be allowed to participate in the event. \n\n\n\nWhat precautions are you taking during the COVID-19 pandemic?\n\n\n\nGiven the social nature of the event\, where attendees will meet new people for the first time and eat\, we will require masks for the duration of the event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFAQs from HOD\n\n\n\nHow is the Offline process different?\n\n\n\nWe steer clear of the speed-dating approach. The 3 minutes you give to talk to each person is great if you are looking for a 3-hour relationship. But not so much for a life-long commitment. Right from receiving your application\, we screen to ensure only the most compatible attend by screening all our applicants. Our events have an even ratio of men to women\, giving everyone a fair chance. By engaging people in fun and exciting activities\, we break the ice and eliminate awkwardness. Since all our attendees are also on HOD Online\, the follow-up after the event is relatively simple. \n\n\n\nWhy do I need a Half Deen membership to attend?\n\n\n\nOne of the unique features of Half Deen Offline is that everyone at the event can be found on Half Deen Online. You can view their profile online if you find someone interesting and would instead learn more about them before showing interest. No personal information exists because follow-up is done safely through our website after the event. You’ll have access to more than 3\,000 active profiles. This way\, even if you don’t find your ideal match at the offline event\, you still have a great chance of finding them online. Our Offline events are for Members Only! You can become one by going to www.HalfDeen.com \n\n\n\nWhat happens if the event is sold out?\n\n\n\nWe wish we could accommodate everyone! Due to this event’s increasing popularity\, the seats fill fast. We keep the ratio of women to men at 1:1. Due to this\, we sometimes have to temporarily halt the registration for the gender ahead until we can level the playing field. We ensure that everyone has an opportunity for a match. Keep checking the site to see when and where our next event will be. \n\n\n\nWhat criteria do you screen applicants by?\n\n\n\nWe believe in quality matches. We don’t set the criteria; our applicants do. We review every application carefully and study your criteria for a spouse. We only invite those who meet your criteria\, so you have a great shot right from the start. We are the only Muslim organization that filters our applicants to ensure compatibility\, increasing your chances of finding “The One.” InshAllah! \n\n\n\nSomething came up. I cannot make it.\n\n\n\nYou can claim that for cancellation and refunds up to two weeks before the event with no conditions. For cancellations and refunds claimed up to one week’s notice\, you will be given a refund on the condition of finding an equal replacement for you to attend the event. \n\n\n\nConcerning event planning\, no refunds will be given after the one-week conditional cancellation cut-off. Please consider that for every person invited\, several interested members turned away to keep good ratios and compatibility. If you missed the event\, we cannot refund/transfer or give you credit for the next one. We could not refund you if you attended the event because you did not find your match. \n\n\n\nWhy is your event venue private?\n\n\n\nWe care about your privacy. Our event location is kept confidential and is only revealed to those who are paid and confirmed. Nobody knows you are at the event except those at the event. We do not accept any walk-ups to the event. \n\n\n\nEvent Safety:\n\n\n\nWe’re encouraging our attendees and staff to adopt social distancing and sanitization measures to help keep everyone attending as safe as possible. As events are being scheduled again\, their status may change due to the development of safety policies\, but we’ll keep you posted if that’s the case. \n\n\n\n\nMask Recommended: We recommend attendees wear a mask during the event and in public areas (exceptions made while seated during snacks)\n\n\n\nClean Venue: Steps to sanitize surfaces throughout have been taken before the event.\n\n\n\nSocial Distancing: The recommended six feet of distance is suggested throughout the event for a safe distance event.\n\n\n\nTemperature Checks: Attendees will be asked to submit contactless temperature checks before entering the venue hall.\n\n\n\nHand Sanitizer Stations: Attendees can access various hand sanitizing stations that will be located throughout the venue.

It involves providing a comprehensive education to children within the comfort of their own homes. \n\n\n\nIn homeschooling\, parents typically take on the role of primary educators. They develop or choose a curriculum\, create lesson plans\, and teach the material to their children. Parents can also outsource the teaching to qualified tutors and resources to help prepare their children. Homeschooling can be customized to fit every child’s needs\, interests\, and learning styles. \n\n\n\nWhy Homeschool?  \n\n\n\nThe reasons for homeschooling vary from family to family. Some common motivations include a desire for religious or moral education\, a more personalized education\, concerns about the school environment or curriculum\, the child’s unique needs\, the family’s financial situation\, or flexibility in scheduling. \n\n\n\nIs Homeschooling legal?  \n\n\n\nThe legality of homeschooling depends on the country and sometimes the specific region within a country. Laws and regulations regarding homeschooling can vary significantly. \n\n\n\nIn many countries\, homeschooling is legal and recognized as a legitimate educational option. Some countries have specific homeschooling laws that outline requirements and procedures for parents to follow. These laws may include mandatory notifications to educational authorities\, periodic assessments\, curriculum standards\, or teacher qualifications. \n\n\n\nIt is crucial for parents considering homeschooling to research the laws and regulations in their specific country\, state\, or region to ensure compliance with local requirements. Local homeschooling organizations\, support groups\, or Education consultants\, such as Soulful Studies\, can provide valuable information and guidance regarding the legal aspects of homeschooling in a particular area. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
