Weekly Programs at MYCP
Fajr Prayer with an emphasis on praying for Gaza
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
In the authentic narration that the obligatory prayer in congregation is better than an individual prayer by twenty seven times.
“The reward of the congregational prayer is twenty seven times greater (than that of the prayer offered by a person alone).”[Bukhari]
Join us on Saturdays as we perform salat ul Fajr in congregation and then pray for our brothers and sisters suffering in Gaza.
Understanding the Qur'an:
A Tafseer Class
Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan RA narrates:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The most excellent among you are
those who learn the Qur'an and teach it." [Bukhari]
In order for us to be considered amongst the best of people as described by ﷺ, apart from learning to recite and memorize the Blessed Quran, it is crucial that we try to understand it as well.
Join us in this journey to pursue our way to Jannah by seeking
knowledge through the Tafseer (explanation) of the Holy Quran.
Refreshments will be served.
