SUMMARY:Blood Drive @ Jumu’ah
DESCRIPTION:As people of faith\, it is in our blood to help. Be part of a lifesaving journey to save up to three lives with a 15-minute blood donation. \n\n\n\nThe MCC community has saved nearly 350 lives! This is our 27th blood drive during Jumu’ah. Each blood drive has always been fully booked or near-fully booked! \n\n\n\nLet’s continue that trajectory at this blood drive and keep all our American Red Cross guests busy when they set up in our Banquet Hall from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on a Friday. Sign up at: https://mcceastbay.org/blood-drive \n\n\n\nIn 2024\, MCC will proudly host these quarterly blood drives during Jumuah services from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with our friends at the American Red Cross: \n\n\n\n\nFriday\, March 1\, 2024\n\n\n\nFriday\, May 31\, 2024\n\n\n\nFriday\, September 6\, 2024\n\n\n\nFriday\, December 13\, 2024\n\n\n\n[fusion_button link=”https://mcceastbay.org/blood-drive” text_transform=”” title=”” target=”_self” link_attributes=”” alignment=”” modal=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility\,medium-visibility\,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” color=”default” button_gradient_top_color=”” button_gradient_bottom_color=”” button_gradient_top_color_hover=”” button_gradient_bottom_color_hover=”” accent_color=”” accent_hover_color=”” type=”” bevel_color=”” border_width=”” size=”” stretch=”default” shape=”” icon=”” icon_position=”left” icon_divider=”no” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=””]Book An Appointment[/fusion_button] \n\n\n\nA Power Red donation targets O-\, O+\, A-\, and B- only. Donation takes 20-30 minutes because donors give two units of concentrated Red Blood Cells\, and your platelets and plasma are returned. \n\n\n\nBlood donors report feeling a sense of great satisfaction after making their blood donation. Why? Because helping others in need feels good. \n\n\n\nIf you have visited India\, Pakistan\, or another high-risk malaria country and returned within the last 12 months\, you are not eligible to donate blood. See the latest travel-related restrictions to blood donation eligibility. \n\n\n\nMCC Youth: If you are 16 to 18\, here is the donor requirements and parental authorization form link. \n\n\n\nOn the morning of the blood drive\, please complete the Rapid Pass online and bring the print-off to speed up the check-in process.

SUMMARY:The Absence of Muslim Communities in American Refugee Resettlement | Shyam Sriram
DESCRIPTION:In American politics\, refugee policy has become a wedge issue. Going beyond the headlines\, as a community\, let’s ask one of the most challenging questions: why are American Muslims not more involved in resettling refugees since so many refugee families are coming from Muslim-majority countries? \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, we will discuss why 99 percent of refugee resettlement organizations (RROs) are still Christian-based and what resettlement looks like moving forward if Muslim organizations are more involved in the Bay Area and nationally. \n\n\n\n7 p.m. to 9 p.m. | Friday\, May 31 | MCC Conference Room | Join in person or watch virtually at mcceastbay.org/live \n\n\n\nUpdate: Books will not be available for sale as the publication date has been pushed to July.  \n\n\n\nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org  \n\n\n\nAbout the AuthorShyam is a national expert on refugee resettlement. He recently published his first book\, titled “Refugee Resettlement in the U.S” (Cognella Academic Publishing). He grew up in Chicago as the child of Indian immigrants and reverted to Islam in 2006. \n\n\n\nHe is an assistant professor of political science at Canisius University in Buffalo\, NY. He received his Ph.D. from the University of California at Santa Barbara. He visits the San Francisco Bay Area frequently. His wife Lizette Duran is MCC’s Convert Care Coordinator.

Please plan to bring lunch or visit a nearby restaurant. Congregation Zuhr prayer is from 1:30 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. We will provide space for lunch in the Banquet Hall.  \n\n\n\nUstadh Tariq Samady \n\n\n\nUstadh Tariq Samady is a native of the Bay Area with roots hailing from the ancient city of Kabul. He is a lifelong seeker of Islamic knowledge\, learning from a wide range of Muslim scholars – local and international. With blessings from his teachers\, he has contributed to various educational programs and gatherings of dhikr. \n\n\n\nHis research and editing interests span Qur’an and Hadith commentaries\, Philology\, Spirituality\, and Persian Poetry.

He teaches Islamic Studies at ILM Tree and serves as Convert Care Coordinator for Ta’leef. \n\n\n\nAbout Circles of Light \n\n\n\nCircles of Light is a fledgling educational initiative focused on sharing sacred learnings and wisdom for the benefit of the community\, meant to assist in maximizing Dunya (this life) for our Deen (Faith). He gives wisdom to whomever He wills. Whoever is given wisdom has been given much good. But none pays heed except those with insight. (Quran). We are motivated by the words of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); the most beloved people to Allah are those most beneficial to the people. (Hadith). We seek to achieve this aim through our in-person educational programs and publications. \n\n\n\nAlmighty Allah ﷻ directs us in Sūratul Aḥzāb\, “Verily\, Allah and His Angels send blessings on the Messenger of Allah. You who believe invoke blessings on him and salute him with a worthy salutation.” Our purpose of invoking blessings upon the Beloved ﷺ leads to proximity to Almighty Allah ﷻ by obeying this command while simultaneously fulfilling our rights upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. It is crystal clear how vital the invocation of Ṣalawāt is for the believer\, and it is a Mercy of Almighty Allah ﷻ for its rewards to be multitudinous. Abundant Ṣalawāt upon the Beloved ﷺ leads to loving him and knowing his beautiful qualities. By that virtue\, degrees of purity are realized. From the signs of the people of the Sunnah is sending Ṣalawāt upon him\, for the key to all goodness is Ṣalawāt upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. \n\n\n\n– More Tri-Valley and East Bay Mawlid celebrations: http://mcceastbay.org/mawlid – More about celebrating the Prophet (peace be upon him)’s day of birth: https://seekersguidance.org/answers/general-counsel/innovation-bida-and-celebrating-the-prophets-birthday-mawlid \n\n\n\n– More Ustadh Tariq: HTTP://mcceastbay.org/tariq \n\n\n\n– More Ustadh Mahdy: HTTP://mcceastbay.org/mahdy

SUMMARY:Screenagers: Growing up in the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:Join us this Friday evening to watch a documentary about how tech time impacts children’s development and what solutions we can implement as adults to empower our children to navigate the digital world best to find balance.  \n\n\n\nThis documentary is for parents and children ages 12+. Please register for babysitting for children under age 12. \n\n\n\nFollowing the documentary screening\, we invite you to join us for an engaging discussion with Ustadha Hosai Mojaddidi from Maghrib (8:30 p.m.) to Isha (10:10 p.m.). This is your opportunity to ask questions\, share your thoughts\, and learn from others in the community. This is a continuation of the last discussion on this topic in 2018. \n\n\n\nFriday\, June 7 | 6:45 p.m. to 9 p.m. | MCC Conference Room | Register at mcceastbay.org/screenagers | Join in-person or watch the panel discussion live at mcceastbay.org/live \n\n\n\nWe will provide dinner before the event and have dinner boxes for sale starting at 6 p.m. You can pre-purchase dinner here. Join us with your family and friends! \n\n\n\nSchedule: \n\n\n\n\n– 6 p.m. – Dinner (pre-order at mcceastbay.org/screenagers) (Banquet Hall)\n\n\n\n– 6:45 p.m. – Documentary starts (Conference Room)\n\n\n\n– 8:30 p.m. – Congregational Maghrib prayer (Prayer Hall)\n\n\n\n– 8:45 p.m. – Post documentary discussion with Ustadha Hosai Mojaddidi (Conference Room)\n\n\n\n– 10:10 p.m. – Congregational Isha prayer (Prayer Hall)\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Documentary \n\n\n\nAre you watching kids scroll through life with their rapid-fire thumbs and a six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that with her kids and learned that the average kid spends 6.5 hours a day looking at screens. She wondered about the impact of all this time and about the friction occurring in homes and schools around negotiating screen time — friction she knew all too well. \n\n\n\nIn Screenagers\, as with her award-winning documentaries on mental health\, Delaney takes a deeply personal approach. She probes into the vulnerable corners of family life\, including her own\, to explore struggles over social media\, video games\, academics\, and internet addiction. Through poignant and unexpectedly funny stories and surprising insights from authors\, psychologists\, and brain scientists\, Screenagers reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and offers solutions on how adults can empower kids to navigate the digital world best and find balance.
