Name: Qur’an Night Khatam During Taraweeh | Qari Amar Bellaha
Start: 2026-03-18T21:00:00-07:00
End: 2026-03-18T23:30:00-07:00
Location: MCC East Bay

Join Qari Amar Bellaha at Taraweeh for the completion of the Qur’an from 9 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 18, 2026 (29th night of Ramadan).

Isha will start at 9 p.m., and the Taraweeh Khatam begins at about 9:20 p.m.

Qari Amar marks the end of the full Quran recitation accompanied by a heartfelt, long supplication (du’a) for mercy and forgiveness. Please stay after the Khatam for an all-night special 29th night program, qiyam, and a suhoor: https://mcceastbay.org/event/fifth-odd-night

We are expecting heavy crowds. Please carpool and come early. This Ramadan, we will not have a parallel satellite Taraweeh; the Khatm will take place only at the main MCC facility in Pleasanton.

To celebrate this annual blessed Ramadan achievement by the worshippers of our community mosque, MCC volunteers will distribute baklava to worshippers at the outdoor exits as they leave after the Khatam dua ends.

9 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. | Wednesday, March 18, 2026 | MCC East Bay Prayer Halls
