Ties That Bind Us

In our spiritual journey, we are not alone. From our closest family and friends to our brothers and sisters far-removed in time and space, we are tied together as believers. For both our personal and collective well-being, these relationships must be nurtured for a true God-centered community to be established. What are the practical ways we can strengthen these ties?

Time For Change

The nature of our lives is one of constant change. We age, people come in and out of our lives, and aspirations, jobs and finances fluctuate. We strive to develop strategies to adapt to these changes to achieve our goals of material success, while our hearts, the true locus of meaningful change, remain stagnant. How can we embrace positive changes in habits and lifestyle that draw us closer to Allah and enhance our spiritual and worldly lives?

Shaykh Yasir Fahmy
8:40 PM - 9:20 PM
Openings: Reflections From Surah Fath

What does true victory look like, and when does it occur? Our conceptions of success are tied to our very limited knowledge as human beings. When we reflect on the Qur’an, we see that Allah is always with us, and that His help is right around the corner, not in the way we think but in the way that He wants for us in His Divine Wisdom.
