As Muslims living in America, we face many challenges to our faith. Join us for a much needed discussion on Saturday, August 24th at 1 pm that will analyze the future of Islam in America from four perspectives: family, community, Islamic centers, and clergy.

The event will be a panel discussion with four guest scholars, moderated by Sayyid Atiq Ebady. Each panelist will give a short talk focusing on the four aforementioned perspectives. There will be ample opportunity for the audience to interact with the speakers by offering comments and asking questions. We look forward to an engaging and interesting discussion that will address issues rarely analyzed at length.

Join us to celebrate the birth anniversary of Imam Ridha (AS) on Saturday, July 13th at 7pm. The program will begin with recitation of Quran, followed by poetry, English lecture by guest scholar Sayed Ali Abass Razawi, and concluding with congregational prayers, and dinner.
