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 28th blood drive during Jumu’ah\, and each one has always been fully 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\n\n\nA Power Red donation targets O-\, O+\, A-\, and B—only. It takes 20-30 minutes because donors give two units of concentrated Red Blood Cells\, and 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\nEvery person who donates blood at MCC will receive a voucher for a free meal at iniBurger—Gourmet Burgers in Pleasanton. MCC congregation members Leeza and Abdullah Popal\, who own these establishments\, generously donate these vouchers to encourage community and congregation participation. \n\n\n\nMCC Youth: If you are 16 to 18\, here are 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.

She converted to Islam more than 20 years ago after being a Youth Ambassador to Morrocco and Senegal. There\, she developed a thirst for knowledge that would cause her to sit at the feet and learn from some of the top Islamic Scholars of our time. After participating in several circles of knowledge in the US\, Ieasha pursued religious studies abroad. She studied Arabic and the Qur’an at the Fajr Institute in Cairo\, Egypt. Later\, she moved to Hadramaut\, Yemen\, and enrolled in Dar al Zahra\, an Islamic University for Women. There\, she studied Aqeedah\, Quran\, Hadith\, Arabic\, Jurisprudence (Fiqh)\, Islamic law\, Purification of the Heart\, and other religious-related learning. She has received several scholarly licenses (ijaza). The work that she is most committed to and enjoys has been the development of Islamic programming\, Islamic Studies curriculum\, and Rites of Passage programs for youth and adults. The majority of her life has been spent as an educator and activist. She is most passionate about combining Islamic studies\, cultural art\, activism\, and service to train leaders to rise above whatever challenges stand in their way and that of the community they serve. In addition to her full-time work\, she is the co-founder and Executive Director of Barakah INC\, an organization committed to training Muslim women in traditional Islamic sciences with a focus on modern application.

Ieasha Prime is a proud wife and mother of three children. \n \n \nDr. Rania Awaad was born in Cairo\, Egypt\, but moved to New York at age three because her mother was recruited as a translator for the United Nations in Manhattan\, and her father was a physician. \nDr. Awaad is “particularly passionate about uncovering the historical roots of mental health care in the Islamic intellectual heritage” (“Profile\, Rania Awaad\, MD”). Dr. Awaad was the first female professor of Islamic law at Zaytuna College in Berkeley\, California. While at Zaytuna\, she taught Shafi’i jurisprudence\, women’s jurisprudential issues\, and the Quran. She pursued her psychiatric residency training at Stanford and completed a postdoctoral clinical research fellowship with the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). \nShaykha Dr. Awaad is recognized nationwide as a leader in Muslim mental health and has been invited to present her work at national conventions in Washington\, DC by Presidents Obama and Biden\, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)\, Health & Human Services (HHS)\, and Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Dr. Awaad successfully established the US’s first Muslim Mental Health Community Advisory Board (BAMMH CAB). In addition\, she has established multiple Muslim mental health clinics as well as custom-tailored clinical and educational training programs for clinicians and religious and community leaders to address the mental health needs of Muslim communities. \nDr. Awaad has multiple recognitions that reflect her consistent contributions to the Muslim community and humanity. \nHonors & Awards:\nDepartment Faculty Professional and Leadership Award\, Stanford University School of Medicine (2021)\nOutstanding Faculty Teaching Award\, Stanford Psychiatry Residency Program (2021)\nStanford Leadership Development Program\, Stanford University (2020-2021)\nTop 25 Faith and Spiritual Influencers of 2020 Award\, HolyTV (2020)\nCommunity Achievement Award for exceptional commitment to promoting mental health wellbeing\, ACCESS California (2019)
