[ISNRV] Welcoming Imam Muhammad Marso to the Community

Assalaam Alaikoum Dear Brothers and Sisters,

This past spring, Imam Muhammad Hayat Marso visited our community and gave several Islamic programs while he was here. His programs were very well received by thecommunity, and the Shurah was impressed with his character and knowledge Alhamdulilah.

After some discussionthis past summer, AlHamdulilah and with the Blessing of Allah Subhanahu WaTaala, Imam Marso has agreed to join our Muslim community as a full-time Imam of the ISNRV for the coming year. We anticipate his arrival, InShaa Allah, around September 15, 2024.

Imam Marso is a distinguished scholar of Quranic studies from the University of Al-Madinah. With his outstanding Islamic and Quranic knowledge, he will be a much needed spiritual leader for the growing and diversifying ISNRV community. All age groups of our community will have the opportunity to interact with Imam Marso on a daily basis and benefit from his Islamic and Quranic knowledge. We also expect him to significantly expand our Quranic program studies (classes, workshops, Halaqat, etc.), including an after school Quran program and much more insha'allah.

We look forward to welcoming Imam Marso and benefiting from his unique and blessed knowledge of the Quran.

Jazakum Allahu Khairan,

On behalf of the Shura Council,

Saad Ragab, Chair of ISNRV
