SUMMARY:Annual Eid Toy Drive for Zakat-Eligible Families
DESCRIPTION:Please help us spread cheer to families in need during this blessed time by donating new unwrapped gifts (in person or online) to the MCC Girl Scouts’ 6th Annual Toy Drive. \n\n\n\nThis year\, we are collecting over 650 toys for local zakat-eligible families\, including many refugee families assisted by MCC East Bay.  \n\n\n\nHelp us ensure every child receives a gift in time for Eid by making donations or dropping off your gifts on March 1 – 25.  This gives us time to sort and pack individualized gifts appropriate for each family.  \n\n\n\nThere are four ways to bring a smile to a child’s face this Eid: \n\n\n\n\n– Ship to MCC via our Amazon wish list at https://mcceastbay.org/wishlist. Please use this list as a guide for the types/numbers of toys requested. We encourage you to shop elsewhere when possible and to boycott brands like Walmart and Fisher-Price.\n\n\n\n– Donate using Cheddar Up (secure link) or drop off cash/checks (made out to “Girl Scouts”) marked “Toy Drive” or gift cards to the MCC office.* These can be handed to Aminah on Fridays (9 am – 4 pm).\n\n\n\n– Drop off toys at MCC (bins are located in the lobby) (MCC doors are open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily) or Northstar School.\n\n\n\n– Ship toys/gift cards from any online retailer to: MCC Girl Scouts\, 5724 W. Las Positas Blvd.\, #300\, Pleasanton\, CA 94588\n\n\n\n\nPlease avoid: \n\n\n\n\n– Electronics or electronic accessories requiring children to have access to a particular device\n\n\n\n– Previously used items\n\n\n\n– Clothing\n\n\n\n– Dollar store or similar quality toys\n\n\n\n– Toys of a violent nature (guns\, swords\, etc.)\n\n\n\n– Toys that may be construed as having an inappropriate nature\n\n\n\n– Makeup\, nail polish\, ‘tattoos’\n\n\n\n\nRemember that we hope to share gifts these children may not typically have access to. If you donate a toy that needs batteries\, please attach a set. \n\n\n\nWe are grateful to all our interfaith community partners for their support\, year after year. \n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n*MCC Girl Scouts will use funds collected to purchase toys or wrapping supplies for the drive.  Any extra funds received will be used for school supplies for the same group of children for the next school year. \n\n\n\nQuestions for Girl Scouts Troops 30875 and 32705? girl-scouts@mcceastbay.org

She was honored to receive Ijazah (authorization to teach) several branches of the Shari’ah sciences at the hands of many renowned scholars\, including many female scholars. She has received Ijazah to teach Tajwid in the Hafs and Warsh recitations from the late eminent Syrian scholar Shaykh Abu Hassan al-Kurdi.

Her medical interests include addressing mental health care concerns in the Muslim community- particularly that of Muslim women and girls. She has been awarded grants from the NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health) to research this topic and has presented her findings at several medical conferences. Other ongoing endeavors include compiling manuscripts addressing female-related mental health and medical issues from a fiqh-oriented perspective.

SUMMARY:Young Men Pre-Ramadan Manliness Conference
DESCRIPTION:Assalamu Alaikum. The response from Tri-Valley parents of teen boys regarding this new initiative has been overwhelming. *We are positively full for in-person attendance.* The waitlist is open for in-person attendance. Otherwise\, the live-stream option is still open: https://mcceastbay.org/kickstart \n\n\n\nFor young men ages 13-19! Join your fellow brothers for an inaugural conference to kick start the first of many regular programs on the art of manliness in the Islamic tradition.

With characteristics similar to chivalry and virtue\, these communal associations of Arab men gained significant influence as stable social units that exerted religious\, military\, and political influence in much of the Islamic world. \n\n\n\nSaturday\, March 9 | 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. | MCC Conference Room | $20/person; men ages 13-19 only | Space limited to 130 young men (once full only live stream option open) | Register at mcceastbay.org/kickstart \n\n\n\nSnacks and light refreshments are provided.  \n\n\n\nA joint effort of Walnut Creek Islamic Center\, San Ramon Valley Islamic Center\, and Muslim Community Center East Bay.MCC has a standing policy that financial need should never hold a person back from attending any activity held in the community center.

SUMMARY:Skygazing for Ramadan Moon
DESCRIPTION:Revive 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 at sunset (7 p.m.) on Sunday\, March 10\, and join in the excitement when the young crescent moon (hilal) ushers in the Holy Month of Ramadan. \n\n\n\nDue to rain and cloudy weather\, we will not have the Tri-Valley Stargazers on site. \n\n\n\n523 Southern Halal BBQ & Halal Bites of Chicago food trucks will sell dinners from 5 p.m. to 8 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 on the evening of March 10 in its newsletter (subscribe at https://mcceastbay.org/newsletter). \n\n\n\n\nIf the moon is sighted\, the first night of Taraweeh will be after Isha (9 p.m.) on Sunday\, March 10\, and the first day of fasting will be Monday\, March 11.\n\n\n\nIf the moon is not sighted\, then the first night of Taraweeh will be after Isha (9 p.m.) on Monday\, March 11\, and the first day of fasting will be Tuesday\, March 12.\n\n\n\n\nBoth the MCC website (mcceastbay.org) and the MCC’s automated phone menu (925-485-1786) will announce the start of Ramadan by 8:30 p.m. on Sunday\, March 10. \n\n\n\nSince sunset will be at 7:14\, we will likely be able to see the new moon by about 8. \n\n\n\nMCC observes the beginning and end of months following the sighting of the crescent moon. \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\n\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\n\n(Source: Sunan Al- Tirmidhi) \n\n\n\nQari Amar Bellaha will also be in the Hayward Hills this Wednesday evening to see the crescent moon. If sighted\, he will read the special dua from high atop the hills and head down to lead the Taraweeh prayers on Wednesday evening at 9:15 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

SUMMARY:Al Ghazali for Children | Sr. Aisha Gray Henry
DESCRIPTION:For children ages 5 to 12: Children’s Author Aisha Gray Henry\, the charismatic founder of the Ghazali’s Children Project\, talks to our children about the timeless teachings of Al-Ghazali in this four-part Ramadan workshop series.  \n\n\n\nThis Ramadan\, children will be read a story from the Al-Ghazali series (book 24)\, which talks about fasting of the tongue\, what we say\, and what we listen to. \n\n\n\nMondays | 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. PST | Free | Register at mcceastbay.org/ghazali-workshop \n\n\n\nMonday\, March 11Monday\, March 18Monday\, March 25Monday\, April 1 \n\n\n\nSponsored by Fons Vitae and MCC East Bay. \n\n\n\n\nMore Sister Virginia Gray Henry: https://mcceastbay.org/aisha\n\n\n\n\nParents are encouraged to join their children. Children of any age may join. The sessions are especially recommended for children 5 to 12. Sr. Aisha also highly encourages parents to have “The Book of Knowledge for Children” on hand during these sessions. Purchase the series here. \n\n\n\nShaykh Hamza Yusuf says about this book: “This work can help our Muslim children have a more humane and universal understanding of the ethics and teachings of Islam through Imam al-Ghazali. I believe the work is highly relevant and very likely life-altering for those who will be exposed to it early.” \n\n\n\n\nWatch Sister Aisha’s visit to the MCC Sunday School here.\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\nAisha Gray-Henry is the Founder and Director of the charitable foundation and publishing company Fons Vitae. Fons Vitae is currently engaged in the monumental task of bringing out Ghazali’s Ihya in readable English for parents and teachers and adapting it to accommodate children’s workbooks\, school curricula\, and an instructional DVD. The Book of Knowledge and The Principles of the Creed educational sets are available and used internationally\, with Purity and Prayer nearing completion. Included is a children’s interactive website\, HTTP://GhazaliChildren.org\, a pilot school project\, and a prison program. Translations into Urdu\, Arabic\, and Malay are underway. The Fons Vitae Ghazali Project has been launched with great acclaim in Morocco\, Canada\, Indonesia\, England\, and the USA. \n\n\n\nWho is Al Ghazali?\n\n\n\nAn alchemist is a person who can create gold from base metals. It is a quest as old as legend. The truth is that alchemy exists\, but not of base metals\, but of the human heart. \n\n\n\nImam al-Ghazali (1058-1111 CE) is probably one of the greatest alchemists ever. And in an epoch where the human condition is in its direst straits\, never more has there been a need for the chemistry of Imam al-Ghazali. \n\n\n\nA theologian\, jurist\, philosopher\, mystic\, and polymath\, Abu Hamid Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Ghazali is not only ranked amongst Islam’s finest scholars but is one of mankind’s finest students of the human condition. Known as Algazel to the medieval world\, he was born in Tus\, the Khorasan province of ancient Persia. \n\n\n\nWhen he had the academic world at his feet in his early thirties\, he spurned fame and fortune to go into a mode of self-denial and spiritual seclusion that lasted for many years. \n\n\n\nAlready an acknowledged master of Holy Law\, he re-entered society as a practiced Sufi – a true gnostic. A genius\, Imam al-Ghazali was fully proficient in Greek and Roman philosophy\, and he debunked its central tenets\, proving that Revelation was always going to be superior to human reason. Human thinking could never evolve\, he wrote\, in an existential vacuum. \n\n\n\nAll this prompted him to write his magnum opus\, the Ihya ‘Ulumad-Din (the Revival of the Religious Sciences). Today\, it is regarded as one of the classic works on the human psyche. In the Ihya the author explains how to turn one’s base instincts and desires into the golden ideal. \n\n\n\nToday’s modern world – devolved of spirituality and fraught with destructive ills such as materialism\, multi-national greed\, and violence – needs people like Imam al-Ghazali. This is because Imam al-Ghazali teaches a way to balance the body and soul\, thus allowing us to reconcile modernity with spirituality in its broadest and most universal sense.
