SUMMARY:Secrets of Divine Love – Men’s Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a weekly book club and discussion group as we collectively strive to mindfully open our hearts to Allah’s love for us and our love for Allah. We will read and reflect on A. Helwa’s internationally acclaimed book\, Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam (Studying Qur’an & Hadith). \nEach session will cover one chapter\, including group discussions\, reflections\, and selected exercises from the book. \nThe first session will be abridged\, focusing on the Introduction and the “Reading with an Open Heart” preface. It will also set the stage for the remainder of the series for those planning to attend most or all sessions. \nWhile we encourage consistent attendance for the benefit of shared reflection and continuity\, each session is self-contained\, and participants are welcome to drop in even if they cannot commit to every week. Sidi Mohammed Kaddoura facilitates this group. \nStarts May 14 | Wednesdays | 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. | Conference Room | In-person only \nClass Schedule (Download discussion guide)\n\nIntroduction & Reading with an Open Heart\n    May 14\, 2025\nChapter 1 – Allah\n    May 21\, 2025\nChapter 2 – Humanity\n    May 28\, 2025\nChapter 3 – Qur’an\n    June 4\, 2025\nChapter 4 – Islam / Iman / Ihsan\n    June 11\, 2025\nChapter 5 – Tawba\n    June 18\, 2025\nChapter 6 – Shahadah\n    June 25\, 2025\nChapter 7 – Salat\n    July 2\, 2025\nChapter 8 – Zakat\n    July 9\, 2025\nChapter 9 – Ramadan\n    July 16\, 2025\nChapter 10 – Hajj\n    July 23\, 2025\nChapter 11 – Death\n    July 30\, 2025\nChapter 12 – Heaven and Hell\n    August 6\, 2025\nConclusion\n    August 13\, 2025\n\nDisclaimer\nThis book club is intended to stimulate thought and reflection\, not to teach deen. It is not a fiqh or aqidah class. 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. Available at:\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Divine-Love-Spiritual-Journey/dp/1734231203\nAudiobook voiced by the author also available. \nAbout the Book\nSecrets of Divine Love was written for the longing heart\, searching for meaning\, hope\, or healing. 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. Helwa\nPaperback: 385 pages\nBinding: Softcover\nPublisher: Naulit Publishing House\n\nAbout the Author\nHelwa believes the Divine deeply loves every person.

Generally considered a moderately challenging route. This is a very popular area for fishing\, hiking\, and horseback riding\, so you’ll likely encounter other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. \nThis is a beautiful hiking area with both paved and dirt trails that are moderately steep and lovely views of the water. If desired\, you can avoid a large portion of the paved East Shore Trail by taking the southern Cameron Loop after crossing the Honker Bay bridge\, Ten Hills Trail\, and Indian Cove Trail\, leaving a very short paved section to the Marina. \nAccessibility: \nAccording to Access Northern California (https://accessnca.org/access-northern-california/explore/explore-detail-view/?site_id=238): Lake Chabot is a popular destination for families and bustles on weekends. Among the many amenities you can find are multiple picnic areas\, a grassy play area\, fishing\, an outdoor fitness zone with interactive exercise machines (one is designed for wheelchair access)\, and miles of lakefront trails. The Marina has a café\, tackle and bait shop\, rental boats\, and seasonal lake tours aboard the tour boat “Chabot Queen.” The ramp to the boats is accessible but quite steep. To board the tour boat\, a portable ramp is available. The paved West Shore and East Shore trails around the lake offer some access\, although their steep terrain may deter some with limited mobility. They are worth the effort if possible because it feels as though you’re far from the nearby bustling cities. Although paved\, the West Shore Trail has numerous steep grades throughout as it travels high above the lake\, passing in and out of shade provided by oaks\, bay laurel\, willow\, and cottonwood trees. Poison oak is plentiful\, as well as vetch\, blackberries\, and blue-eyed grass. A few interpretive panels about the dam’s history are towards the end of this 2-mile route. Benches are scattered throughout\, although most have a steep grade to reach them.

SUMMARY:Monthly Mawlid Al Habib | Celebratory Gathering of Salutations on Our Beloved Prophet ﷺ
DESCRIPTION:Connect more with Muhammad (peace be upon him) as we gather on the third Saturday of each month in remembrance and dhikr with Bay Area Munshideens and guest speakers. \nDuring each gathering\, Ustadh Tariq Samady will cover a chapter from the text The Kingdom of the Heart by Habib Umar b. Hafiz. \n6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. | Saturdays | MCC Conference Room | Join us in person or watch live at mcceastbay.org/live \nDates for Monthly Family Mawlid at MCC East Bay in 2025\n \n\nSaturday\, January 18\, 2025\nSaturday\, February 15\, 2025\nNo session during Ramadan in March ’25\nSaturday\, April 19\, 2025\nSaturday\, May 17\, 2025\nSaturday\, June 21\, 2025\nSaturday\, July 19\, 2025\nSaturday\, August 16\, 2025\nSaturday\, September 20\, 2025\nSaturday\, October 18\, 2025\nSaturday\, November 22\, 2025\nSaturday\, December 20\, 2025\n\n \n\n– Watch past mawlid celebrations at MCC: http://mcceastbay.org/mawlid\n– More Sidi Tareq: https://mcceastbay.org/tariq\n– More sessions about the book using the monthly Mawlids\, “The Kingdom of the Heart”: http://mcceastbay.org/kingdom\n– Purchase “The Kingdom of the Heart” by Habib Umar bin Hafiz: https://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Heart-Habib-Umar-Hafiz/dp/173537671X\n\nSponsored by Circles of Light & MCC East Bay. \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org  \nThe Mawlid is a joyous expression of the greatest blessing from Allah. \nWe take this blessed opportunity monthly to remind ourselves of the three sacred rights that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ requires from us\, instilling in us a deep sense of respect and reverence. \n\n– Marifah – Recognizing who the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is\n– Muhabbah – Loving the Messenger of Allah ﷺ\n– Ittiba’ – Obedience to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ\n\nThe second two (loving and obeying) are not entirely possible without truly recognizing the first\, who the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was. This recognition enlightens us and deepens our knowledge of his teachings. \n\n– Past mawlid celebrations at MCC: http://mcceastbay.org/mawlid\n\nAbout the Book\, “The Kingdom of the Heart”\n“Within every human being is a Kingdom. The heart is the ruler of this Kingdom\, and the rest of the body is its subjects. If the heart rules with justice and excellence\, the body will perform good actions\, and the Kingdom will flourish. If the heart neglects its duties\, the body will disobey Allah\, and the entire Kingdom will suffer the consequences. Allah ﷻ made this Kingdom so crucial that through it the eternal and everlasting dominion of the next life is either gained or lost.” The Kingdom of the Heart by Habib ‘Umar Bin Hafiz gives the reader a deeper understanding of the importance of cultivating the spiritual kingdom of the heart. Readers will gain a deeper appreciation of how outward actions have spiritual consequences. Some of the topics covered are: •⁠ ⁠The Tongue & Its Effects •⁠ ⁠Looking at Creation with Love & Mercy •⁠ ⁠The Impact of Shaking Hands •⁠ ⁠Attending to the Ending of Our Lives •⁠ ⁠The Impact of Intention This book uniquely shows the direct correlation between outward actions and the heart\, giving us insights into how various actions impact the state of our hearts. Ultimately\, it gives us a way to internalize the wisdom and purpose of acts of devotion\, resulting in the purification of the heart and nearness to Allah ﷻ. \nAbout the Author\nHabib Umar bin Hafiz (Arabic: حبيب عمر بن حفيظ\, romanized: Ḥabīb ʿUmar bin Ḥafīẓ; Arabic pronunciation: [ħabiːb ʕumar bin ħafiːðˤ]; born 27 May 1963) is a Yemeni Sunni and Sufi Islamic scholar\, teacher\, and founder and dean of Dar al-Mustafa Islamic seminary.[3] He is also a Supreme Advisory Council member for the Tabah Foundation in Abu Dhabi. \nUstadh Tariq Samady\nUstadh Tariq Samady is a native of the Bay Area with roots in the ancient city of Kabul. He has been a lifelong seeker of Islamic knowledge\, learning from a wide range of Muslim scholars\, both local and international. With the blessings of his teachers\, he has contributed to various educational programs and gatherings of dhikr. \nHis research and editing interests span Qur’an and Hadith commentaries\, Philology\, Spirituality\, and Persian Poetry. Tariq is the founder of Circles of Light (حلق النور)\, a fledgling educational initiative focused on sharing sacred learnings and wisdom for the community’s benefit. He studied Computer Science at California State University—East Bay and has over ten years of experience as a Developer and Analytics QA Engineer. \nAbout Circles of Light\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. \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– More Sidi Tariq Samady: http://mcceastbay.org/tariq\n– More Tri-Valley and East Bay Mawlid celebrations: https://mcceastbay.org/mawlid\n– 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– More sessions about “The Kingdom of the Heart”: http://mcceastbay.org/kingdom

SUMMARY:Day Of Ashura Program & Community Iftar Dinner | Shaykh Talal Ahdab
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, June 26th\, marks the first day of the Islamic month of Muharram\, the first month of the Islamic Calendar Year. The blessed day of ‘Ashura is on Saturday\, July 5\, 2025. \nPlease calendar now to fast on the 10th of this month and either the day before or after (so the 9th or 11th of Muharram). The 10th of Muharram is likely to fall on Saturday\, July 5\, 2025. Therefore\, please fast either Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday\, insha’Allah. MCC will host a community Iftar on Saturday\, July 5\, 2025. \n7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. | Saturday\, July 5 | $5/person for Iftar dinner | Registration required; RSVP at mcceastbay.org/fast-ashura | Watch the program virtually at mcceastbay.org/live \n\n– More talks & sermons on Muharram: https://mcceastbay.org/muharram\n– More Shaykh Talal: http://mcceastbay.org/talal\n– For more information about the Day of Ashura\, see https://seekersguidance.org/articles/the-day-of-ashura\n\nAshura Program\n\n6:30 p.m. – Asr prayer (Prayer Hall)\n7 p.m. – Program “Lessons From Ashura” begins with Sh. Talal Ahdab and Qari Amar Bellaha (Conference Room)\n8:36 p.m. – Maghrib prayer (Prayer Hall)\n8:50 p.m. – Iftar Dinner (women in Banquet Hall & men in Kindergarten classrooms – Please RSVP at mcceastbay.org/fast-ashura)\n10:15 p.m. – Isha prayer (Prayer Hall)\n\n– Dua for the Day of Ashura: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eDyBp2nvN1W9nqnjrmpmsl2-UWuSRu-b/view?usp=drive_link \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. 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. \nThursday\, June 26th\, marks the first day of the Islamic month of Muharram\, the first month of the Islamic Calendar Year. It is considered special by all Muslims and is one of the four sacred months. During this month is the Day of Ashura\, or the “Tenth day” of the month\, which will be Saturday\, July 5th. Fasting is recommended (with or without the addition of a day before or after). Imam Muslim reported that the Prophet PBUH said\, “The best of fasts after the month of Ramadan are in the Month of Allah\, which you call Muharram. And the best of prayer after the obligatory prayer is the night prayer.” \nWhile Ashura is primarily associated with the story of Moses (peace be upon him)\, it is also the day on which another profound event occurred—the martyrdom of Hussein\, the beloved grandson of the Prophet (peace be upon him). May God be pleased with him. \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \nWhat is the Day of Ashura?\nAshura marks the day when Moses and the Israelites were saved from Pharaoh by God parting the Red Sea\, and is the Islamic equivalent to Yom Kippur. In Sunni Islam\, Ashura follows the traditions of Judaism with a day of fasting\, commemorating the parting of the Red Sea for Moses and his followers as they escaped Pharaoh. The Prophet Muhammad thought this tradition was worth following\, so he fasted and encouraged his followers to do the same. On this day\, Muslims fast and celebrate by reflecting\, showing respect\, and giving thanks. Is fasting required? Fasting is not compulsory during Ashura\, but some Muslims choose to fast for one or two days. This is because the Prophet Muhammad was said to have fasted on the day of Ashura. \nWhen is Ashura 2025?\nAshura falls on the tenth day of Muharram (the first month of the Islamic year) in the Muslim calendar\, which this year is Saturday\, July 5\, 2025. Islamic religious dates are tabular: they begin at sunset on the first evening and end at sunset on the second evening. The date changes each year because the calendar used by Muslims\, the Hijri calendar\, is 10 to 12 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar. Questions? events@mcceastbay.org \n\n– More talks & sermons on Muharram: https://mcceastbay.org/muharram\n\nThe month of Muharram is considered special by all Muslims and is one of the four sacred months of the year\, which brings with it the day of Ashura\, or the “Tenth day” of the month\, when fasting is recommended (with or without the addition of a day prior or after). Following the Prophetic tradition\, MCC invites all East Bay residents to observe a day of fasting on the day of Ashura. \nThe first is the Hijrah\, the migration of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions from Mecca to Medina in 622 AD. The birth of a pluralistic Muslim community marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar and served as the key turning point for the first Muslims and the future of Islam. \nThe Hijrah also marks the start of a new chapter for humanity\, where freedom of faith and justice for all became the cardinal principles of the newly founded society and a model for us to aspire to. \nThe other two historical events took place on the 10th day of Muharram\, known as Ashura. After completing the migration to Medina\, the Prophet witnessed the Jews of Medina fasting to commemorate the victory of Prophet Musa (PBUH) and his people over the Egyptian Pharaoh. Prophet Muhammad then asked his companions to join this fasting tradition as a way to express their gratitude to Allah for saving Musa and his people. On the same day\, just six decades later\, the Prophet’s grandson Husayn ibn Ali was martyred in the Battle of Karbala. This was one of the saddest and most heartbreaking events in the history of Islam\, which we continue to mourn today. \nAs we commemorate Ashura\, for Prophet Musa and Imam Husayn\, we are called to re-commit to our struggle against all forms of tyranny and oppression and to seek liberty and justice for all. Following the Prophet Muhammad’s tradition\, MCC invites you all to observe the fast of Ashura. \nLet us take this day to continue the practice of our beloved Prophet and pray for the unity of our ummah (community). \n\n\nSeekers Guidance article: https://seekersguidance.org/articles/the-day-of-ashura/\nFor a quick read\, here are some infographics from SeekersGuidance: https://www.facebook.com/47051192317/posts/pfbid0S8QCwXfGGV6TcKLKQHEjNnRmDjLnWZqAd7XjQ1GNSqVSayyNMRJnidqTreYSzytpl/\n\nAbout Shaykh Talal \nShaykh Talal Ahdab holds licenses to teach the classical Islamic sciences. Some of his field specialties include Islamic theology\, epistemology\, language\, jurisprudence\, and legal theory. He has over twenty years of experience teaching a multitude of Islamic disciplines to scholars and professors. Shaykh Talal’s long-term research interests include developing solutions to modern challenges through the purview of Islam’s expansive and dynamic scholarly tradition. At Zaytuna College\, Shaykh Talal has taught courses in Islamic jurisprudence\, legal theory\, and kalam theology. Shaykh Talal is fluent in Arabic. Shaykh Talal joined the Zaytuna College faculty in Fall 2017.  \n\n– More Sheikh Talal Ahdab: http://mcceastbay.org/talal\n\n\n \nToday is the first day of Muharram\, one of the four sacred months in the Islamic calendar\, as mentioned in the Quran\, marking the start of a new Islamic calendar year\, 1447. This day marks the beginning of the Hijrah (migration)\, when the Prophet (PBUH) travelled from Makkah to Madinah in 622 AD. \nAs we enter this blessed month\, with so much uncertainty and hardship around the world\, we are reminded that the Hijrah was more than a journey; it was a turning point for our Ummah. It is an invitation for all of us to reflect\, renew our intentions\, and recommit to living lives rooted in faith\, purpose\, and justice. \nWe ask Allah (SWT) to bring great good to the Ummah in this new year\, rectify its affairs\, and bring relief to those who are suffering. Peace and blessings be upon the one whose Hijrah marks the beginning of our calendar\, our Prophet Muhammad\, and his blessed family and Companions\, and all those that follow him until the last day.
