Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Masjid,
In commemoration of World Hijab Day today, we remember the courage of Muskan Khan, a young Muslim girl who was heckled and harassed on her way to college in Karnataka, India last February for wearing the hjiab. In a viral video, she faced the mob firmly repeating, "Allahu Akbar (God is Great)!"
Muskan reflected: I was so scared at that time. I was trembling and took Allahs name, so that He would help me out. When I said Allahu Akbar,' I got the strength and courage to face the situation. I call His name during times of difficulty [...]"
Similarly, we witness countless accounts of courage by Palestinians in the face of death, displacement, destruction, and now starvation.
May God grant us fortitude in our faith and resolve to stand up for justice. May God grant relief and aid to our persecuted brothers and sisters. Ameen!

We'll discuss youth relevant issues, play games, eat, and just chill. The initial phase will be for brothers ages 14-18. Following that, the goal is to incorporate their sister counterparts, and eventually children ages 9-13. The relationships fermented in this program will lead to lifelong friendships built upon righteousness and piety insha'Allah. Register above!
