Assalaamu-alaikum brothers and sisters,
We had a very successful beginning to the year with the start of Sunday School and I welcome all the families, students, teachers and volunteers back for a semester of fun and learning so we achieve the goal of closeness to Allah.
Here are some of the activities in the masjid I would encourage you to join.
1. Qur’an recitation and memorization classes (age 6 to 20) – every Monday and Thursday from 6pm to 7:30pm – $20/month fee for this class.
2. Arabic classes starting every Saturday from 11am to 1pm from 9/14/13. $100 for each student for the semester (till December). Imam Refai and Sheikh Sami will teach this class.
3. The masjid will be open from 5pm daily until Esha. Hafidh Muhammad will lead salat-ul Asar, Maghrib and Esha daily. Let’s try to fill the masjid daily Inshah-Allah.
4. Community dinner program – Saturday the 14th of September – 6pm to 8pm. Dinner will be on time at 6pm. “Workshop on Hajj” – Sheikh Abu-Ayman together with a coupe and youth presenting their experience of Hajj. There will be a $10 cost for the food ($5 for youth)
5. There will be a Tafseer class every Monday from Esha with Sheikh Mohamed Ghonaim. Starting with the beautiful story of Surat Yusuf!
6. Sunday school from 10:30am till after Dhuhr salat. Please try to pray Dhuhr salat with your kids as Sunday school goes on till then. We have a program of kids leading the sunnah prayer before Dhuhr salat. They lose a valuable lesson if they leave before.
Please take advantage of all the activities the masjid has and let’s make the masjid as vibrant as Ramadan!
Wassalaam,
Reza Mansoor
