SUMMARY:Monthly Sisters' Mawlid
DESCRIPTION:For Sisters: Join us monthly for sisters’ Mawlid for a gathering of remembrance and Dhikr.  \nConnect more with Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as we gather on the fourth Saturday of each month in remembrance and dhikr. \nSaturday\, July 25th | 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. | MCC Conference Room | In-person only | Free; no RSVP required\n \nSisters and children welcome. No boys over the age of eight are allowed. \nDates for Monthly Women’s Mawlid at MCC East Bay \n\n– March 28th 11-1pm\n– April 25th 11-1pm \n– May 30th 12-2pm\n– June 27th 11-1pm\n– July 25th 11-1pm\n– Aug 29th 11-1pm\n– Sep 26th 11-1pm\n– Oct 31st 11-1pm\n– Dec 5th 11-1pm\n\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 genuinely recognizing the first – who the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was. This recognition enlightens us and deepens our knowledge of his teachings.
