Brothers Janazah (Muslim Burial) Workshop
2024-02-25 14:00 - 18:00 UTC
🌿 Brothers’ Janazah Workshop 🌿
AsSalamu Alaikum dear brothers,
In our journey of faith, it’s crucial that we acquaint ourselves with all aspects of our Islamic duties, including those that are inevitable yet often overlooked. With this in mind, we are organizing a special workshop dedicated to the rites and rituals of performing Janazah (Islamic funeral).
🗓️ Date: February 25, 2024
⏰ Time: 2 PM
This workshop is not just about learning the steps involved in Janazah; it’s about understanding the profound significance behind each part and the importance of fulfilling this communal obligation with the dignity, respect, and love it deserves.
Why is this important for every one of us?
– 🤲 Fulfilling a Community Responsibility: Janazah is a collective duty upon the community. Knowing how to perform these rites ensures that we can support one another in times of need.
– 💡 Gaining Deeper Insight: Understanding the Janazah process deepens our appreciation of life, death, and the hereafter, grounding us in our faith.
– 🌱 Passing on Sacred Knowledge: Learning these rites allows us to teach others, ensuring that this essential knowledge continues through generations.
We encourage all brothers to attend, regardless of age or prior knowledge. This workshop will equip you with the understanding and skills to perform this important Islamic duty, strengthening our community’s bond and commitment to supporting one another in the most challenging of times.
Please join us in this important gathering to honor and fulfill one of our key responsibilities as Muslims.
May Allah (SWT) grant us the understanding and ability to serve our community in the best manner possible. Ameen!

Film Screening: Gaza Fights For Freedom
2024-02-17 16:30 - 21:00 UTC
The brutal siege on Gaza has now lasted over 120 days, with Israeli bombs now dropping on the “safe zone” Rafah and upwards of 27,000 Palestinian people killed thus far. This genocide is unprecedented not only in the visibility of its horrors, but also in the longstanding policies of apartheid and ethnic cleansing perpetuated since the founding of the state of Israel. The oppression of Palestinians in Gaza began far before this siege, and it is imperative that we learn that history as we continue to demand for an immediate ceasefire and the right of return of every displaced Palestinian.
Join us on Saturday, February 17th as we watch a powerful documentary covering many aspect of that history: the Empire File’s “Gaza Fights for Freedom.”
