SUMMARY:Weekly Zumba Classes for Women & Girls | Reham Sedky
DESCRIPTION:For Women & Girls Ages 12+: Join us for weekly Zumba – a fun\, stress-relieving way to stay active\, boost your energy\, and connect with other sisters. Zumba offers incredible benefits\, such as improved physical health\, mental well-being\, and the chance to make fitness an enjoyable part of your routine lifestyle. \nThis class is designed for women and girls aged 12 and up. It’s open to everyone\, and no experience is needed.  \nPlease note this class is not recommended for anyone with back or knee issues. \nWeekly on Tuesdays with a break in Ramadan | 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. | Conference Room (private space) | $15/session | Register at mcceastbay.org/zumba \nClasses will be canceled if fewer than five people register. \nMCC has a standing policy that financial need should never hold a person back from attending any activity held in the community center.

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

SUMMARY:Skygazing for Ramadan Moon
DESCRIPTION:Revive the Sunnah to go outside and look for the new crescent moon in the evening sky that will mark the beginning of Ramadan. \n\n\n\nJoin us in the MCC parking lot after Maghrib sunset prayers (6:04 p.m.) on Friday\, February 28\, and join in the excitement when the young crescent moon (hilal) ushers in the Holy Month of Ramadan. The Tri-Valley Stargazers will be in the parking lot (weather permitting) with high-visibility telescopes\, allowing us to peer into the night sky at 6 p.m. \n\n\n\n\n\n523 Southern Halal BBQ food truck will sell dinners\, and Habibi’s Falooda provide dessert from 5 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. \n\n\n\nMCC adheres to the traditional principle that Islamic lunar months begin and end based on confirmed\, verified naked-eye sightings of the new crescent moon globally. MCC will confirm the start of Ramadan on the evening of February 28 in its newsletter (subscribe at https://mcceastbay.org/newsletter). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n– If the moon is sighted (likely)\, the first night of Taraweeh will be after Isha (8 p.m.) on Friday\, February 28\, 2025\, and the first day of fasting will be Saturday\, March 1\, 2025.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n– If the moon is not sighted (unlikely)\, the first night of Taraweeh will be after Isha (8 p.m.) on Saturday\, March 1\, 2025\, and the first day of fasting will be Sunday\, March 2\, 2025.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe MCC website (mcceastbay.org) and the MCC’s automated phone menu (925-485-1786) will announce the start of Ramadan by about 7:15 p.m. on Friday\, February 28. \n\n\n\nSince sunset will be at 6:04\, we will likely be able to see the new moon by about 6:35 p.m. \n\n\n\nMCC observes the beginning and end of lunar months following the sighting of the crescent moon. Please watch this video to explain. \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \n\n\n\nThe du’a to recite if the crescent is sighted: \n\n\n\nاللَّهُمَّ أَهِلَّهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالأَمْنِ وَالإِيمَانِ، والسَّلامَةِ والإِسْلامِ، وَالتَّوْفِيقِ لِمَا تُحِبُّ وَتَرْضَى، رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكَ اللهُ \n\n\n\nAllaahumma ahillahu ‛alaynaa bil-amni wal-eemaani\, was-salaamati wal-islaami\, wat-tawfeeqi limaa tuḥibbu watarḍaa\, rabunaa wa rabbuk-allaahu- \n\n\n \nO Allah\, let the crescent loom above us in peace and faith\, safety and Islam\, and in agreement with all that You love and pleases You. Our Lord and your Lord is Allah. \n\n\n \n(Source: Sunan Al- Tirmidhi) \n\n\n\nQari Amar Bellaha will also be in the Hayward Hills this Wednesday evening to see the crescent moon. If sighted\, he will read the special dua from high atop the hills and head down to lead the Taraweeh prayers on Wednesday at 9 p.m. He will be live streaming his moonsighting atop the Hayward Hills at https://mcceastbay.org/live \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n
