Salam everyone! Just a reminder that this week we will have a bake sale on Thursday the 5th 🍰

We accept cash,cash app & Venmo at the table. Everything is donation based 🙂

Anyone is more than welcome to bring any baked goods to the sale table 🧁

Don’t forget to stop by and show your endless support for MSA🤍

With the last couple weeks of the semester coming to an end we appreciate all of you and hope all of you succeed your finals inshallah 🙏

As we know, tonight will be the 27th Night of Ramadan, most commonly observed as Laylatul Qadr by the majority of the ummah (though it could be any other odd night)

We know this night is greater than 1000 months, something that can make us millionaires when it comes to "muslimoney" aka, good deeds!

With that being said, though we will strive in salah, recitation of the Quran, dhikr, and staying in the masjid from isha to fajr, we often forget an important pillar to a well-rounded set of worship, that is charity

For those who do not know, Cleveland has been a roller coaster when it comes to stable ilm, and we have seen it with masjid politics, disregard for scholars, and lack of value for the Islamic sciences.

Many of us strive to live in a city where we can be comfortable as Muslims and be able to learn our deen. To be like cities like Chicago and New York, where Muslims are pillars in the community.

And that cannot happen without proper Islamic Knowledge, our community lacks that. Our community lacks those carriers of the Quran who can be the next imams of taraweeh, instead of having to rely on a select few who will be gone before we know it.

A city where a number of our youngsters do not know basic values or essentials of worship. A city where our future generations will become just Muslim by name.

Hence why in order to make Cleveland that city of light we hope for, we must support those individuals who are working to bring those resources.

So, for those who have benefitted directly from Shaykh Musa, from our very own MSA, or even enjoy praying taraweeh at ICC or ISAK, I highly recommend you all donate to Knowman Learning

Where tens of kids are memorizing the Quran and learning the essential Islamic knowledge.

Who will be raised to be the leaders and preservers of the deen here in Cleveland. They will be the next imams at taraweeh, the next people who will give lectures at programs, the next teachers of ilm.

In other words, the fate of our Islamic future here in Cleveland in the next 10 to 20 years, really does depend on these children!

So do donate to Knowman Learning to allow them to continue this work and provide classes. InshaAllah, with your help, it can grow and we can eventually even be amongst those select few - if Allah wills.

If you still are not convinced, the Nabi ﷺ said “Whoever guides someone to goodness will have a reward like one who did it.”

If you cannot be a hafiz or someone learned, you can at least hold some stock in it by funding even a few dollars to this campaign! Your salah, your dhikr, and your recitation of the Quran will all stop once you die.

But your Continuous Charity and your aid to others will not! So make sure you earn your passive (Islamic) income!

Knowman Learning Academy: Ramadan 1443 | LaunchGood Kindly support their love and joy of memorizing the Qur'an.

AsSallamAlaykum my fellow brothers and sisters in Dīn!

Ramadan is a time where like no other. Despite feeling like we have a million things to do, someway somehow the spirit of family and friends is always illuminated during these days!

It’s a time where we may see people who we haven’t seen in years, a time where we not only kickstart our Eman, but kickstart our social bonds.

As the Prophet ﷺ said: “The believer is one who is sociable [with others], and there is no good in one who is not sociable [with others] nor in one who is not met sociably [by them]”

In other words, we were created to be around each other - hence why companionship is so vital to even our emotional and mental health - as what is beneficial in the dīn is beneficial to the body!

With all this being said, we have been invited to, along with other local MSA’s (Bw , JCU, and Case) to host an Iftar and an amazing lecture at ICC, Monday April 18th!

Furthermore, many of us will be graduating, and what better way to get to spend some quality time with everyone before it’s too late by recognizing the seniors across the Cleveland area while breaking bread!

In the middle days of Ramadan, where we are all in need of some “spiritual Red Bull,” make sure you all come out to the iftar!

Registration is free but required!

Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullāhi Wa Barakātuh.
Allāhu Akbar. The turnout for "Ramadan of the Righteous" was incredible. All praise is due to Allah who gathered the Muslim
community of Cleveland, Ohio for such a beautiful occasion. Amongst 500 men and women, and hopefully many more angels, we were all blessed with a spiritual atmosphere. It's rare to see these events in Cleveland, but no city is void of Allah's mercy and light. Noor shined in every face, and barakah radiated throughout the room.
A very special thanks to Miftaah Institute, who were incredible co-hosts and partners for this event. Their humility was inspirational, and each one of them held so much light. Their words were powerful and impactful, and we all benefitted a lot, Alhamdulilah.
Also a special thanks to our volunteers, who worked very hard during the entire week of the event, planning and preparing for the success of this night. We couldn't have done it without
every single one of you! May Allāh reward you all immensely and make this heavy for you on the scale of good deeds.
Also, Jazakallahu Khairan to our sponsors, who helped make this night as beautiful as it was! (Appreciation post soon to
come)
Lastly, Jazakallahu Khairan to the community of Cleveland, for taking time out of your Saturday night, and coming to remember Allah. May He always remember you. I hope this event goes a long way, and that it helped us all prepare accordingly for Ramadan. May it be the best one yet.
The BEAUTIFUL flicks are brought to by our talented brother,
Yageen, Ma'sha'Allāh on Instagram
May Allah always bless us with such gatherings and keep us around noble, righteous company ❤️
