Shukr Celebration for Converts

November 30 @ 12:00 pm - 6:00 pm

“If you are grateful, I will surely increase you” – Surah Ibrahim, Ayat 7

Join us in celebrating the season with gratitude, reflection, and community!

As Converts/New Muslims, we strive to bring the beneficial aspects of our cultures into the Deen of Islam. Ash-Shukur (the Grateful) is one of the 99 names of Allah (swt), and as Muslims, we should strive to embody and encourage one another toward gratitude year-round.

Join us on a Sunday afternoon as we take advantage of the season for our own Shukr (gratitude) dinner, featuring halal turkey and traditional seasonal treats.

Converts are welcome to bring along their born-Muslim and non-Muslim family and friends. 

Non-Muslim friends and family, as well as born-Muslim friends and family, are welcome. Sidi Afraz Khan will be our guest speaker.

Sunday, November 30, 2025 | 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. |  MCC Banquet Hall | For Converts/New Muslims & Family/Friends, RSVP at mcceastbay.org/shukr
