In everyone's life, there are multiple circles of relationships. Some we choose and some are mandated upon us by birth or necessity. In his ultimate wisdom, Allah (SWT) made it so that the rights we owe depend on the nature of the relationship. On what basis would those rights and responsibilities be given? And how is the vitality of those relationships assessed? How can our relationships be the ships through which we sail to a safe and secure hereafter? Join us on Friday to find answers.

In the 7th year of the Prophetic Mission of Muhammad ﷺ, the Muslims finally had some respite from the constant battles for survival. Now the Ummah would have a chance to blossom under the shade of hard-earned peace. So how did Rasulullah respond when that peace was unexpectedly violated? Did he close the community off? Did he try to appease the violators? We find ourselves facing similar decisions today; we have much to learn from how God’s Messenger responded.

It's Thanksgiving season! And regardless of the historical narratives that we subscribe to, the season of thanks is on everyone's mind. For a brief moment of introspection, millions will pause the mad clock of life and count their blessings with family and friends. What does it really mean to live in the spirit of gratitude in the modern age? What is the Islamic concept of thankfulness? What is the difference between Shukr and Hamd? How do we transform our thanks into tangible acts of giving in a manner that pleases the Creator and enriches the creation?

Muhammad (pbuh) is often looked at as the most notable recipient of God's greatest honor: prohethood. And while the honor of prophecy is Allah's way of bestowing his love upon the most favored of his creation, Rasool-ul-Allah was a brilliant human being in his own right. What character traits and choices in the Prophet's life enhanced his leadership skills and augmented his social intelligence? What do we learn from that as we excel to lead better and more balanced lives in this age?

Recently, the Michigan Muslim Community rallied for the removal of books from their school libraries that exposed their elementary school children to sexual deviance and godlessness. The books were later removed. The incident represents a small victory in a detracted battle for principles and values. It still felt like a triumph from times past. The Quran in surat al-Imran celebrates this Himmah to achieve Rabbaniyah and states the three qualities of character the cultivation of which enables Muslims to achieve victories in life, big and small. What are those qualities? And what is the context of their mention in the Quran? What do we learn from that today as we fight against sexual deviance and atheism? Join us today at Jumaa to learn more.

The very first ayat of the Quran came down from on high to instruct the Ummah to read, teach, and learn. Yet, the Ummah of Iqra does not read. A general state of apathy when it comes to the pursuit of knowledge, especially its sacred variant, seems to permeate modern Muslim everywhere. Why are we falling behind when it comes to learning the knowledge of the Deen? And what can be done to reverse this trend? Join us today at Jumaa to learn more inshaa’ Allah.
