Youre invited to a welcoming gathering to explore the beautiful month of Dhul Hijjah, its meanings, blessings, and how we can make the most of it.
Within this month are the days considered the best of the entire year. Whether or not youre going for Hajj, there are still countless ways to connect with the spirit of this blessed time. Well explore what makes Dhul Hijjah so special and share simple, meaningful ways to engage with it.
Well also talk specifically about Eid al-Adha, often known as the Eid that catches some people off guard. From revisiting the story of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) to understanding the rituals and community traditions tied to this Eid, well unpack what it means, what to expect, and how to approach it with confidence and ease. Whether its your first time celebrating or youre still figuring it out, this space is here to support you.
KINDLY NOTE: Due to limited space and the nature of our discussions, these events are open to converts, their family members, and non-Muslims who are exploring Islam.
Convert(s)ations is a convert-led and driven initiative founded in January of 2011, which is dedicated to serving Muslim converts and spiritual seekers who are curious about Islam, as well family members and partners of converts. Our members hail from a richly diverse array of social, ethnic, economic, and faith traditions. Through discussion groups, educational programming, and community events, Convert(s)ations creates unique opportunities for dialogue, education, and reflection, through which converts are empowered to embrace their unique identities and be a source of light and inspiration to all of humanity.
