Inshaa Allah, she will be back for more books in the future.
The team conducts weekly Tazkirah sessions every Friday, led by Brother Majid. The session includes in-depth discussions of selected Surahs from the Quran, hadiths, and stories about the Prophet (PBUH) and the Sahabahs. These sessions promote bonding and deepen the team's understanding of Islam.
Recently, they recited Surah Al-Ikhlas, highlighting the concept of tawhid— Allah's oneness and our total dependence on Him.
On November 8, the discussion focused on the benefits of silence, avoiding verbal sin, demonstrating wisdom, calming the heart, building patience, strengthening relationships, adhering to the Sunnah, and encouraging deep thinking.
