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.

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
