#1. Islamic History Month in Review
|
|
The past two weeks saw a multitude of lectures and gatherings which focused on our Islamic Heritage.
We concluded a Seerah series which spanned a course of over six years with Sh. Abu Umar Abdulazeez, whose beneficial teaching extended into our evening halaqas and Islamic Marriage Conference.
|
|
|
We also held our first ever Islamic History Month Food Fest, which resulted in an incredible turnout from Muslims and Non-Muslims alike. The event demonstrated our unity as a community and helped spread awareness about Islam.
AMA would like to extend our thanks to our community for your immense support in our various events throughout Islamic Heritage Month. We also extend our gratitude to our dedicated team of volunteers, without whom these events would not have been possible.
Jazakum Allahu Khairan
