Because I love my community\, I wanted to bring something positive to encourage women to focus on their health and well-being. I noticed many sisters cannot participate in gyms or sports due to privacy concerns or lack of time. This inspired me to become a professional Zumba instructor to offer something new and beneficial. Alhamdulilah\, through our Muslim community\, I was able to provide this class in a private and comfortable environment that meets our needs. \nPlease join me\, and let’s move\, laugh\, and grow stronger together\, Insha’Allah! \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org

The book contains various concepts and references that may not align with traditional Islamic scholarship. \nIf you have any questions about what scholars say regarding a topic discussed in the book or during the sessions\, we strongly recommend consulting a scholar you know and trust. You may also forward your question to the organizers so we can seek guidance from a qualified scholar and share it with the group. \nWe approach the book’s abstract ideas as thought experiments and the exercises as opportunities for spiritual reflection\, not as a substitute for traditional Islamic scholarship. \nDiscussion Group Guidelines\n\nEveryone has something to say; everyone has something to learn.\nShy participants are encouraged to contribute.\nTalkative participants are encouraged to listen more.\nConfidentiality is essential.\nDo not share other participants’ reflections outside the group. It’s okay to say\, “someone in my book club made me think about…” but not “so-and-so said…”\nGive 70 excuses.\nAssume good intentions. If disagreements arise\, remember our shared goal is growth. We leave differences in the room and continue with brotherhood outside of it.\nMaintain emotional awareness.\nThe topics we discuss may evoke strong emotions. All participants are expected to remain calm\, respectful\, and emotionally intelligent. Please avoid getting carried away in conversation. Proper etiquette is required at all times.\n\nBook Purchase\nPlease purchase the book in advance if you want to follow along.

It is for anyone who has felt distant from God or overwhelmed by their imperfections. \nThis book serves as a guide back to divine peace and surrender. Through the practices and pillars of Islam\, A. Helwa invites readers to unlock their spiritual potential and deepen their relationship with Allah. Blending Qur’an verses\, Hadith\, poetry\, psychology\, science\, and mystical stories\, the book offers a heart-based yet intellectually grounded approach to spiritual growth. \n\nAuthor: A.

The Qur’an also reminds us: “Remember Allah during the appointed days.” \nIn the hadith\, we find The Prophet ﷺ mention: “There are no days greater and more beloved to Allah than these ten days of Dhul Hijjah\, so increase in them your declaration of the oneness of Allah (tahleel)\, your exaltation of him (takbeer)\, and your praise of Him (tahmeed).” \nThe scholars remind us to spend these sacred days by increasing in worship\, specifically: \n\nFast for the first 9 days\, or at least on Day of ‘Arafah (9th of Dhul-Hijjah) — which is on Friday\, July 8.\nIncrease in your recitation of the Qur’an – at least Surah Yaseen after Fajr\, Surah Waqi’ah & Mulk anytime after Maghrib.\nIncrease in Sadaqah — aim to give a small amount every day.\nIncrease in supererogatory (nawafil) prayers — maintain all your sunnah prayers & aim to wake for tahajjud.\nIncrease in Istighfar (seeking forgiveness) — aim for 100X a day.\nReach out to your relatives\, forgive & forget the past.\nSignificantly increase your Salawaat upon the Prophet (ﷺ) — aim for 100X a day.\n\nMake Du’a and talk to Allah as much as you can. \nJazakAllah Khayr\nImam Tahir Anwar

I noticed many sisters cannot participate in gyms or sports due to privacy concerns or lack of time. This inspired me to become a professional Zumba instructor to offer something new and beneficial.

Some scholars may have viewed it as obligatory. However\, most see it as a voluntary (sunnah/mustahab) act. For those who wish to do Qurbani\, it is mustahab (or voluntary sunnah) to avoid cutting hair and nails until the Qurbani is slaughtered. However\, if you cut any hair or nails\, your Qurbani is accepted and does not affect the validity. \n\n\n\nDeeds of the Day of Arafah \n\n\n\nThe Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “Fasting the day of Arafah expiates the sins of two years: the past one and the coming one.” (Muslim). So\, don’t miss the reward of fasting it\, and join the community iftars at Masjid Annoor and the Qur’an Center on that day. \n\n\n\nAlso\, increase your dhikr\, recitation of the Qur’an\, good deeds\, and duas before the morning of Eid. Don’t forget to include your family\, friends\, relatives\, neighbors\, MCC community\, and the wider Ummah in your duas\, and make a special dua for our brothers in Gaza/Palestine on this special day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*The Islamic calendar is based on the lunar cycle\, so significant days shift forward 11 days each year. The sighting of the moon determines the start and end of Ramadan and Eid. \nAccording to the regional moonsighting\, Eid Al Adha ’24 will be celebrated on Friday\, June 6. MCC follows the traditional moon-sighting method\, which relies on regional\, verifiable naked-eye sightings of the new crescent moon to determine the start of all Hijri months. Please see this video to understand this practice. MCC honors the variation at the beginning of each Islamic month based on the new moon being sighted on different days in different places\, and some communities do moon calculations. All are valid. Please observe with your community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMCC follows the traditional moon-sighting method\, which relies on regional\, verifiable naked-eye sightings of the new crescent moon to determine the start of all Hijri months.
