No RSVP needed to join us in person in the MCC Conference Room (masks and social distancing required) \nEvent Details: \nThe discussion will take place every Wednesday from 10:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and in Fall 2021 run from Wednesday\, Sept. 29 to Dec. 15 (with a break on Thanksgiving week on Nov. 24). The sessions are hybrid: meaning as in-person & virtual session. No RSVP needed to join in person. For the link to join virtually\, please register below. \nUstadha Leila Fakira sends the webinar link to registered attendees after registration.  \nBook Purchase: \nIf you wish to follow along with the book\, you’ll need to purchase the book. The book is out of print\, but can be purchased here: \n\nhttps://www.antstores.com/search?type=product&q=9781597849425\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1597849421/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_mHaAFb4CRDKX5\n\nQuestions? bookclub@mcceastbay.org \n[wpforms id=”19807″ title=”false” description=”false”] \nAbout the Book\nOffering a comprehensive narrative of one of the most fascinating life stories of human history\, The Sultan of Hearts is an authoritative work on the life of Prophet Muhammad\, peace be upon him. The book relies firmly on canonical Hadith collections and Sirah literature\, and is rich with references to many contemporary biographical works such as Al-Maktabatu’s-Sirah\, Al-Maktabatu’l-Alfiyah\, and Al-Maktabatu’sh-Shamilah. \nThe Sultan of Hearts presents the life of the Prophet and the events that unfolded during his mission by contextualizing them with Qur’anic revelations. \nAnalyzing “reasons of revelation” (Asbab al-Nuzul)\, a method in Tafsir studies\, authors portray how every revealed verse of God’s word transformed his society and they reconstruct the biography based on this interaction between the scripture and the events. The book lays bare the role of the Qur’an in the education of the large congregation of the Companions\, and with it reveals the kind of teaching and drill that the Messenger of Allah exercised in his close circle. \nThe developments that preceded and followed the statements of the beloved Prophet are reported extensively in order to point to both the educational aspects of the Qur’an and the role of our noble Prophet in transforming people’s lives. There are also detailed accounts of the spiritual and psychological states of many individuals from those who believed the Prophet and those who did not.

The book lays bare the role of the Qur’an in the education of the large congregation of the Companions\, and with it reveals the kind of teaching and drill that the Messenger of Allah exercised in his close circle. \nThe developments that preceded and followed the statements of the beloved Prophet are reported extensively in order to point to both the educational aspects of the Qur’an and the role of our noble Prophet in transforming people’s lives. There are also detailed accounts of the spiritual and psychological states of many individuals from those who believed the Prophet and those who did not.

SUMMARY:The Wheelchair Muslim Experience
DESCRIPTION:Understanding and compassion to the disabled is not just a fine idea. It is an imperative. \nJoin two wheelchair-bound disability advocates to learn about how American Muslims can meet both the spiritual and personal needs of Muslims living with disabilities in our community. \nAbdullah Mojaddedi and Ahmed Alkubaisi became wheelchair bound at a young age.\n \nTheir experiences in the Muslim community\, their different-abled life brimming with daily opportunities and struggles will give us an insightful community conversation on how to show true brotherhood & sisterhood in a way that keeps dignity and shows respect and how we can work towards masjids and Islamic communities of Ihsan (excellence). \n7 p.m. to 8 p.m. | Friday\, December 10 | MCC Prayer Hall \n\n\n\n– More Muhsen co-sponsored events at MCC: https://mcceastbay.org/muhsen\n\nSponsored by Muslims Understanding & Helping Special Education Needs (Muhsen) and MCC East Bay \n\n\nMCC is a proud to be a certified special-needs friendly masjid. See how we support our special needs families. Learn more about how we are privileged to accommodate our special needs community: https://mcceastbay.org/accommodating-disabilities \nAbdullah Mojaddidi graduated at San Jose State University with a BA degree in psychology and a minor in business in 2018 His Spinal Cord injury occurred on October 22\, 2006. In 2015\, his first job after his spinal cord injury was a part time job working with Bay Area and Recreational Program\, that advocates people with disabilities in recreational activities. He currently now has two part-time jobs: one at a nonprofit Agency for 4 years as an advocate for Afghan refugees and since October 2021\, a recent new hire at Apple. \nIn 2007\, Ahmed Al Kubaisi was walking past an American base in his hometown of Fallujah\, Iraq. He was on the way to the local market when he was allegedly shot by an American sniper. Al Kubaisi\, then 15 years old\, was paralyzed from the waist down. In 2013\, the U.N. Refugee Agency resettled him in the Bay Area and once he arrived he was hospitalized for 14 months receiving proper care and rehab. Predictably\, he has complicated feelings to navigate about America—having suffered greatly during the U.S. invasion of Iraq\, but also finding treatment and making friends upon moving. Ahmed has been in and out of hospital and treatment centers over the past decade. He’s unable to use his lower body and legs and continues to suffer from life threatening bed sore wounds that weren’t properly treated. In 2016\, he enrolled in adult school and received his GED and shortly thereafter had a one-year internship in the Human Resource department at East Bay Municipal Utility District. He has given presentation to physical therapy students at Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts. Kubaisi has been through many challenges physically and culturally while adjusting to life in America\, including not speaking English when arrived here nearly a decade ago. He looks forward to continuing his education and staying healthy. More about him here and here. \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org
