Legends: The Legacy of Abu Bakr- with Mufti Hussain Kamani of the Qalam Institute
|
|
|
Saturday August 20
6:30 PM - ICGC Mirror Hall
These are trying times for Muslims in America- yet we are surely not the first to be tested because of our faith-
Let us learn how the greatest companion of all, Abu Bakr, stood by and helped our Beloved Prophet (SAW), who was persecuted far more harshly than any of us.
Please join us for the 8/20/16 educational session and perhaps we may walk away with a gem or two to apply for our own interactions...
Financial Assistance available
Online and Onsite Registration
Free Babysitting provided during the session.

Islamic Center In The News
|
|
|
Every community has a narra
tive. Either that community controls the narrative or the narrative cont
rols the community. Now more than ever the American Muslim community has to take control of the narrative. This can only be achieved if as a community we are building bridges and inroads with media. Media outlets want to cover stories and do pieces that people are interested in. They want viewers, readers, comments, and discussions. It is critical that as a community we are more visible and more vocal in the media.
We have been blessed for wide and positive coverage of the Center. When there is positive coverage we must all give feedback and acknowledge and appreciate the work of the media. Please take a few minutes to review the media links and give positive feedback where you feel comfortable.
