Akron Area Interfaith Council Summer Potluck
Last Tuesday, ISAK had the pleasure of hosting the Akron Area Interfaith Councils (AAIC) annual Summer Potluck at our pavilion. AAIC graciously extended the invitation to our community, making space for shared meals, meaningful dialogue, and the opportunity to meet new faces from across different faiths.
The evening began with a brief reminder and prayer led by Sheikh Zobair Ahmad, who spoke about the importance of building a sincere connection with Allah (SWT) to nurture our souls. Many of our youth took part in the event, engaging with guests and forming meaningful connections within the interfaith community.
