Info: The Risala Foundation is pleased to announce two special Qiyaam programs this Ramadan.
Contact:info@risala.org
Ustadh Usama Canon, Parvez Ahmed, Esq.,
& Ustadh Ubaid Evans
ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
"Who is better in speech than one who calls others to Allah, works righteousness, and says, I am of those who bow in Islam?" (Fussilat-41: 33)
Our actions speak louder than any speech ever can. How we carry ourselves, how we speak, how we interact and how we live even tedious aspects of our daily lives are all ways of enriching our spiritual well being and attracting others to our faith. Learn how to be better Muslims through your everyday actions. How did actions of those of the past drive transformational change in their societies, in their families and in their individual lives?
WHEN: Saturday, August 11th, after Taraweeh (around 11:30 PM) through Fajr (Suhoor provided)
