SUMMARY:Quarterly Red Cross Blood Drive @ MCC Jumu’ahs
DESCRIPTION:As people of faith\, it is in our blood to help. With a 15-minute blood donation\, you can be part of a lifesaving journey that could save up to three lives. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe MCC community has saved nearly 420 lives! This is our 36th Jumu’ah blood drive\, and each has always been 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 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on three Fridays in 2026. Sign up at: HTTP://mcceastbay.org/blood-drive. Here are the Jumu’ah Friday prayer service times: HTTP://mcceastbay.org/prayer \n\n\n\nIn 2026\, 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 & Stanford Blood Center: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday\, February 6\, 2026 (Stanford Blood Center)\nFriday\, May 22\, 2026 (American Red Cross)\nFriday\, July 31\, 2026 (American Red Cross)\nFriday\, September 25\, 2026 (American Red Cross)\nFriday\, December 11\, 2026 (American Red Cross)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe need for blood is constant\, and only volunteer donors can meet it for patients in our community. Nationwide\, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds\, and most of us will need blood at some point in our lives. A Power Red donation targets only O-\, O+\, A-\, and B—blood types. It takes 20-30 minutes because donors give two units of concentrated Red Blood Cells\, and platelets and plasma are returned. Blood diversity is essential. Now more than ever\, the American Red Cross needs the help of black blood donors. \n\n\n\nBlood donors report feeling a strong sense of satisfaction after donating blood. 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\nEvery person who donates blood at MCC will receive a voucher for a free meal at IniBurger—Gourmet Burgers in Pleasanton. MCC congregation members Leeza and Abdullah Popal\, who own these establishments\, generously donate these vouchers to encourage community and congregation participation. \n\n\n\nMCC Youth: If you are 16 to 18\, here are the donor requirements and the link to the parental authorization form. \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. Complete at https://mcceastbay.org/rapid \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \nMCC strongly encourages our congregation of African heritage and groups aligned with the African American community. Patients with Sickle Cell Disease often require frequent transfusions\, and the most compatible blood is more likely to come from donors with similar backgrounds. Increasing participation from the Muslim community can help improve health outcomes and ensure that these patients receive the care they deserve. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  Download the Red Cross Blood Donor App on the App Store\, Google Play\, or text BLOODAPP to 90999. Schedule appointments\, view your blood type and mini-physical results\, and track your donations. \n

SUMMARY:#TeamFajr Monthly Sunday Breakfast & Qur'an Khatam
DESCRIPTION:  \n“If people knew the reward in praying Fajr & Isha in a congregation\, they would go to the Masjid even if they had to crawl” [Bukhari & Muslim] \nJoin Qari Amar Bellaha on the first Sunday of each month. Pray the pre-dawn prayer in congregation (6 a.m.)\, followed by recitations of Surah Yaseen and Al-Wird Al-Latif (booklets provided) in unison\, community dua\, and following sunup\, Salat al-Ishraq prayer in congregation. Qari Amar will also lead the Khatam (completion) of the Qur’an. Each month\, congregation members complete one Juz of the Holy Qur’an. Please finish your Juz by the first Sunday of each month. Sign up for Juz at mcceastbay.org/juz.  \n2026 Sunday Monthly Khatam with Qari Amar Bellaha: \n\n– January 4\, 2026\n– February 1\, 2026\n– No TeamFajr in Ramadan\n– April 5\, 2026\n– May 3\, 2026\n– June 7\, 2026\n– July 5\, 2026\n– August 2\, 2026\n– September 6\, 2026\n– October 4\, 2026\n– November 1\, 2026\n– December 6\, 2026\n\nThere are numerous benefits and virtues of reciting the Holy Qur’an and sending Salawat upon Rasulullah (S). Along with bringing great barakah into our lives\, these two acts of ‘ibadah are a means by which Allah elevates our rank in Jannah. Though it may be challenging to make a habit of tilawah (recitation) and Salawat individually\, there is strength in our numbers. Join your MCC community in our goal of collectively completing a Qur’an khatam.
