SUMMARY:Maintaining Tradition in a Post-Modern World | Imam Zaid Shakir
DESCRIPTION:After long last\, the “People’s Imam” returns in person to the Bay Area. Our community hearts were connected with Imam Zaid Shakir only virtually during the pandemic. \nAt this spiritual community homecoming\, join Imam Zaid as he speaks on “Maintaining Tradition in a Post-Modern World” and he reflects on what has happened to our world has changed since March 2020 and where we are now headed as a community. \n7:15 p.m. (Maghrib) to Isha (9 p.m.) | Friday\, Sept. 17 | MCC Prayer Hall \n– More Imam Zaid: https://mcceastbay.org/zaid-shakir \nAbout Imam Zaid Shakir\nBorn in Berkeley\, California and raised in the Atlanta and Hartford projects alongside six other children\, Imam Zaid Shakir converted to Islam in 1977\, and today is one of the foremost Islamic scholars in the west. \nHe found Islam while in the U.S. Air force\, spending time reading and learning about various faiths and practices\, from Christianity to Transcendental meditation\, but says he chose Islam because of its social aspects: \n“Transcendental meditation gives you peace of mind…but it didn’t do anything for anybody else\, so I had to keep looking\,” Shakir explains at a recent lecture at a Brooklyn mosque. “I was literally searching for truth\, and I made various stops along the way and I found what I believed was the truth.” \nImam Zaid began his study in the United States\, earning a BA with honors in International Relations at American University and an MA in Political Science at Rutgers University\, but continued his education in the Middle East\, studying Arabic\, Islamic law\, Quranic studies\, and spirituality at Syria’s prestigious Abu Noor University. Yet he returned to the United States seven years later\, settling in Connecticut\, co-founding Masjid al-Islam\, where he served as Imam\, the Tri-State Muslim Education Initiative\, and the Connecticut Muslim Coordinating Committee. \n“You have an American Muslim culture emerging\, which is very important\, because then you can get a unique understanding of the religion that would allow the American Muslim to take his or her rightful place amongst the various Muslim communities of the world” \nIn 2003\, Shakir moved to Hayward\, California to serve as scholar in residence and lecturer at Zaytuna Institute\, a non-profit\, educational institute focused on Islamic studies and surrounding topics. In 2005\, Zaytuna Institute published Shakir’s collection of essays\, SCATTERED PICTURES: REFLECTIONS OF AN AMERICAN MUSLIM. \nImam Zaid Shakir is a co-founder\, serves on its Board of Trustees\, and senior Faculty Member of Zaytuna College located in Berkeley\, CA. He is amongst the most respected and influential Islamic scholars in the West. As an American Muslim who came of age during the civil rights struggles\, he has brought both sensitivity about race and poverty issues and scholarly discipline to his faith-based work. \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org

Shortly thereafter\, he traveled to Mauritania to pursue a full-time course of study where he was able to learn from one of Mauritania’s greatest scholars\, Murabit al-Hajj. Following an interim period of study in Damascus\, Syria\, Shaykh Yahya went on to spend the best part of seven years in Tarim\, in the Hadramawt Valley of Yemen. There\, he studied at the reputable school\, Dar al-Mustafa\, with the renowned scholars Habib Umar bin Hafiz and Habib Ali al-Jifri. \nSince that time\, Shaykh Yahya has been the official translator for Habib Umar and Habib Ali at various international speaking engagements\, including the Common Word Conference held at Yale University in 2008.

The full text of the proclamation is below.\n\nAmerican Muslim Appreciation Month\nCity of Livermore\n\n\n\n\nMUSLIM APPRECIATION MONTH\nCity of Livermore \nWHEREAS\, freedom of religion holds distinction as a cherished and essential right and a fundamental value upon which this nation was founded; and \nWHEREAS\, Muslims have been part of U.S. history from the beginning and have contributed to the production of wealth and construction of the nation; they are also part of the rich history of the civil rights movement; and \nWHEREAS\, enriched by the unparalleled diversity of its residents\, the City of Livermore takes great pride in supporting individual religious freedoms and is strengthened by the many varied religious\, political\, and cultural traditions and contributions of its diverse populations\, including those that practice Islam; and \nWHEREAS\, Muslims are teachers\, lawyers\, scientists\, doctors\, social workers\, tech workers\, nurses\, and business owners among numerous other valued professions\, as well as peace builders\, activists\, entrepreneurs\, and politicians; and \nWHEREAS\, there is a thriving community of 250\,000 Muslims[1] in the Bay Area and over 100 mosques and religious centers; and Muslims pursue diverse professions and make rich contributions to the social\, cultural\, and economic vibrancy of the United States\, and have distinguished themselves by fostering greater respect and understanding among all people through faith and services; and \nWHEREAS\, the shelter-in-place order due to the COVID-19 outbreak forced the temporary closure of Muslim nonprofits\, community centers\, mosques\, schools\, businesses\, and other establishments. Mosques and community organizations provided online programming and sermons along with small group prayers outside. They have answered the call for help by donating funds\, distributing food\, by sewing masks\, and by serving on the front lines as healthcare and service workers; and they have educated their congregations about social distancing guidelines and practices to keep the community safe; and \nWHEREAS\, since 1994\, the Islamic Center of Livermore[2] helps fulfill the spiritual and cultural needs of nearly 200 Livermore residents who are Muslim and the Islamic center promotes interfaith cooperation by providing an environment for dialogue\, education\, and fellowship as a founding member and fiscal sponsor of Interfaith Interconnect of the Tri-Valley. The Islamic Center has a volunteer-run Food Pantry that has been regularly serving the community since 2019. Every month food is distributed on a monthly basis\, participates in interfaith activities in the Tri-Valley\, such as monthly religion chat\, backpack project;  and \nWHEREAS\, the Muslim Student Alliance at Las Positas College strives to create an inclusive environment for its community and beyond[3]; and \nWHEREAS\, it is appropriate to acknowledge and promote awareness of the myriad of invaluable contributions of Muslims in California and across the country\, and extend to them the respect and camaraderie every person deserves. \nNow\, therefore\, be it resolved\, the City of Livermore does hereby recognize the California State Designation of August 2021 as Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month (HR 58)  to acknowledge the rich history\, contributions\, and guiding virtues of Muslims and to commend all Muslim communities in California for the lasting positive impact they have made toward the advancement of our city and country. \n[1]Senzai \, Farid \, and Hatem Bazian. “The Bay Area Muslim Study: Establishing Identity and Community.” Institute for Social Policy and Understanding.

SUMMARY:Women's Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join our weekly sisters’ virtual & in-person Seerah book club where we have an active discussion\, take away lessons for our daily lives\, and inshaAllah fall in love with the Prophet ﷺ. We are reading “The Sultan of Hearts Prophet Muhammad ﷺ” by Resit Haylamaz and Fatih Harpci. \nRSVP for the live registration link below at mcceastbay.org/bookclub. No RSVP needed to join us in person in the MCC Conference Room (masks and social distancing required) \nEvent Details: \nThe discussion will take place every Wednesday from 10:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and in Fall 2021 run from Wednesday\, Sept. 29 to Dec. 15 (with a break on Thanksgiving week on Nov. 24). The sessions are hybrid: meaning as in-person & virtual session. No RSVP needed to join in person. For the link to join virtually\, please register below. \nUstadha Leila Fakira sends the webinar link to registered attendees after registration.  \nBook Purchase: \nIf you wish to follow along with the book\, you’ll need to purchase the book. The book is out of print\, but can be purchased here: \n\nhttps://www.antstores.com/search?type=product&q=9781597849425\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1597849421/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_mHaAFb4CRDKX5\n\nQuestions? bookclub@mcceastbay.org \n[wpforms id=”19807″ title=”false” description=”false”] \nAbout the Book\nOffering a comprehensive narrative of one of the most fascinating life stories of human history\, The Sultan of Hearts is an authoritative work on the life of Prophet Muhammad\, peace be upon him. The book relies firmly on canonical Hadith collections and Sirah literature\, and is rich with references to many contemporary biographical works such as Al-Maktabatu’s-Sirah\, Al-Maktabatu’l-Alfiyah\, and Al-Maktabatu’sh-Shamilah. \nThe Sultan of Hearts presents the life of the Prophet and the events that unfolded during his mission by contextualizing them with Qur’anic revelations. \nAnalyzing “reasons of revelation” (Asbab al-Nuzul)\, a method in Tafsir studies\, authors portray how every revealed verse of God’s word transformed his society and they reconstruct the biography based on this interaction between the scripture and the events. The book lays bare the role of the Qur’an in the education of the large congregation of the Companions\, and with it reveals the kind of teaching and drill that the Messenger of Allah exercised in his close circle. \nThe developments that preceded and followed the statements of the beloved Prophet are reported extensively in order to point to both the educational aspects of the Qur’an and the role of our noble Prophet in transforming people’s lives. There are also detailed accounts of the spiritual and psychological states of many individuals from those who believed the Prophet and those who did not.

SUMMARY:Women's Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join our weekly sisters’ virtual & in-person Seerah book club where we have an active discussion\, take away lessons for our daily lives\, and inshaAllah fall in love with the Prophet ﷺ. We are reading “The Sultan of Hearts Prophet Muhammad ﷺ” by Resit Haylamaz and Fatih Harpci. \nRSVP for the live registration link below at mcceastbay.org/bookclub. No RSVP needed to join us in person in the MCC Conference Room (masks and social distancing required) \nEvent Details: \nThe discussion will take place every Wednesday from 10:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and in Fall 2021 run from Wednesday\, Sept. 29 to Dec. 15 (with a break on Thanksgiving week on Nov. 24). The sessions are hybrid: meaning as in-person & virtual session. No RSVP needed to join in person. For the link to join virtually\, please register below. \nUstadha Leila Fakira sends the webinar link to registered attendees after registration.  \nBook Purchase: \nIf you wish to follow along with the book\, you’ll need to purchase the book. The book is out of print\, but can be purchased here: \n\nhttps://www.antstores.com/search?type=product&q=9781597849425\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1597849421/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_mHaAFb4CRDKX5\n\nQuestions? bookclub@mcceastbay.org \n[wpforms id=”19807″ title=”false” description=”false”] \nAbout the Book\nOffering a comprehensive narrative of one of the most fascinating life stories of human history\, The Sultan of Hearts is an authoritative work on the life of Prophet Muhammad\, peace be upon him. The book relies firmly on canonical Hadith collections and Sirah literature\, and is rich with references to many contemporary biographical works such as Al-Maktabatu’s-Sirah\, Al-Maktabatu’l-Alfiyah\, and Al-Maktabatu’sh-Shamilah. \nThe Sultan of Hearts presents the life of the Prophet and the events that unfolded during his mission by contextualizing them with Qur’anic revelations. \nAnalyzing “reasons of revelation” (Asbab al-Nuzul)\, a method in Tafsir studies\, authors portray how every revealed verse of God’s word transformed his society and they reconstruct the biography based on this interaction between the scripture and the events. The book lays bare the role of the Qur’an in the education of the large congregation of the Companions\, and with it reveals the kind of teaching and drill that the Messenger of Allah exercised in his close circle. \nThe developments that preceded and followed the statements of the beloved Prophet are reported extensively in order to point to both the educational aspects of the Qur’an and the role of our noble Prophet in transforming people’s lives. There are also detailed accounts of the spiritual and psychological states of many individuals from those who believed the Prophet and those who did not.
