“If people knew the reward in praying Fajr & Isha in congregation, they would go to the Masjid even if they had to crawl” [Bukhari & Muslim]

#TeamFajr is back (sans breakfast until we are out of this pandemic)! On the first Sunday each month, Qari Amar Bellaha leads the pre-dawn prayer in congregation followed by Surah Yaseen recitation and Al-Wird Al-Latif (booklets provided) in unison and following sun up, Salat al-Ishraq prayer, in congregation. This post-Fajr gathering is also livestreamed on MCC’s YouTube & Facebook pages: https://youtu.be/cnsB78AZJt4

Following the post-sunrise prayer, Qari Amar and anyone else who wishes to accompany him will visit Five Pillars Islamic Cemetery in Livermore (weather permitting).
