Shukr Celebration for Converts: A Community Gathering

“If you are grateful, I will surely increase you” – Surah Ibrahim, Ayat 7 Join us in celebrating the season with gratitude, reflection, and community! As Converts/New Muslims, we strive to bring the beneficial aspects of our cultures into the Deen of Islam. Ash-Shukur (the Grateful) is one of the 99 names of Allah (swt), and as Muslims, we should strive to embody and encourage one another toward gratitude year-round. Join us on a Sunday afternoon as we take advantage of the season for our own Shukr (gratitude) dinner, featuring halal turkey and traditional seasonal treats. Converts are welcome to bring along their born-Muslim and non-Muslim family and friends. Non-Muslim friends and family, as well as born-Muslim friends and family, are welcome. Sidi Afraz Khan will be our guest speaker.
