Speaking up for Palestine: lessons learned
ICCWG will be hosting Dr. Kamran Riaz. He is a native of the Chicagoland area. Before high school, he completed the memorization of the Qur'an in 9 months at the Institute of Islamic Education. After college, he obtained a doctorate of medicine degree from the UIC College of Medicine and completed his ophthalmology training soon afterwards.
Dr. Riaz has been a student at Darul Qasim under Shaykh Amin since 2000. He is a frequent khateeb and speaker in the American Muslim community. He is the author of a recently published book, "Concerning Divine Wisdom in the Creation of Man", a translation and commentary of an original Arabic treatise by the renowned scholar, Hujjat al-Islam Abu Hamid al-Ghazali. Please join to spend the 15th night of Shabaan with Dr. Riaz.
This is the night of the 15th of Shabaan and there will be Ibada, Dhaka and Quran recitation led by Imam Basheer after Isha.

Laylat ul Bara
Join us at MYCP for a potluck Iftar for Laylat ul Bara and bring a dish to share, as we give life to the Night of Salvation or the Night of Freedom from the Fire of Hell. Also known as Nisf Sha’ban (because it falls in the middle of the month of Sha’ban), this marks a night on which we pray to Allah for forgiveness. (The name translates into English as “Night of Forgiveness.”) It is on this night, that Allah fixes our destiny for the upcoming year.
Location: Muslim Youth Center of Philadelphia
11080 Knights Rd, Philadelphia, PA, 19154.

Time: 5:00 PM onwards.
Sponsor Ramadan Iftars
"Whoever provides iftar for a fasting person in Ramadan, their sins will be forgiven and they will be free from the Fire. They will have the same reward as the fasting person, without either of their rewards decreasing from each other." - Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
We have more than ten iftars planned for this Ramadan across both centers. Please help us make these iftars happen by sponsoring or cooking for one of the events! Whether you can donate or volunteer to cook, your support is greatly appreciated!
