Muharram 1446

Assalam Alaikum,

Muharram is the first month of the Islamic lunar calendar, and it is one of the four sacred months of the year in Islam. The word "Muharram" means "forbidden," and the month is considered a time of peace and reflection. Fighting is traditionally forbidden during this month, just as it is during the other three sacred months (Dhul-Qi'dah, Dhul-Hijjah, and Rajab).

The prophet (pbuh) was asked about fasting the day of Ashura (10th of Muharram) and he said, It will expiate the sins of the past year.

MCC hosted Ashura Iftaar on the evening of Ashura and we had a great participation from our community.

Last Friday, MCC brought the community together for a special screening of "Where the Olive Trees Weep". This free outdoor event started at 8:30 PM, right after Maghreb, and offered an enlightening and educational experience in support of the Palestinian humanitarian cause.

The event saw an excellent turnout, with many community members coming together to enjoy the evening. Attendees were treated to delicious offerings from various food vendors, including pizza and ice cream, making the experience even more enjoyable.

We're grateful for the fantastic community participation and look forward to hosting more events like this in the future. Thank you for your continued support!

Al-Manar Weekend School is now opening registrations for Saturday and Sunday. The priority registration for the Returning Students will be on Sunday, August 4th, and for the New Students, on Sunday, August 18th, from 10 AM. to 1 PM. at MCC
