Have you ever completed a month of fasting and felt you didn’t get the benefit you hoped for? Do you feel like Ramadan flies by without much time to focus on your intended hopes & dreams for the month? Those are feelings we’ve all been able to relate to at some point!
Join Ustadha Hosai Mojadidi, Imam Dawood Yasin, and Sister Emira Mustafa (author of Practically Preparing for Ramadan) for a pre-Ramadan Saturday afternoon workshop for practical spiritual tips and insights on what we can do to leverage this upcoming Ramadan for the maximum benefit of our Hereafter.
1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. | Saturday, March 26 | MCC Conference Room (join us in-person or online at https://mcceastbay.org/live)
This workshop will give you helpful tips to maximize your time effectively and efficiently to achieve all your spiritual, intellectual, and physical goals this Ramadan, inshAllah. Join us in transcending the Ramadan grind and maintaining spirituality in a busy life.
Trapped in to-dos and endless appointments, everything we do becomes a task to be checked off quickly, even our worship. So, how can we be spiritual if we’re so busy? Prepare for the sacred month with three community teachers as they present practical tips to connect with Allah and rise above the grind this Ramadan.
