    Thriving in place post-Ramadan: http://mcceastbay.org/thriving

    There is no virtual substitute for the weekly Jumu’ah prayer. These weekly reminders are to spiritually fortify in these trying times and keep our heart in its Friday routine of seeking spiritual insights for once we re-open our masjid, insha’Allah. Please pray Zuhr at home - preferably in congregation with your family.

    This talk was delivered via the Muslim Community Center - East Bay (MCC East Bay) in Pleasanton, California on August 14, 2020.

    We are living in a time filled with corruption, hate, and rudeness.

As Muslims, the most important thing that we can focus on in these times is to acquire good traits.

    In this new virtual series, we discuss the traits of the Believers as described in the Qur’an and that are exemplified by Allah’s friends, who are His most favorite servants.
