Deeply Devoted: A Monthly Qiyam Series
“Always remember the Name of your Lord, and devote yourself to Him wholeheartedly.” (73:8)
In Chapter 73 of the Quran, Allah invited His beloved Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) to pray and recite Quran at night so he can be aided in carrying his responsibilities of the day.
Join the Thabaat community on the third Friday of every month, in different mosques around Southeast Michigan, as we revive this Prophetic practice and build bonds of devotion to Allah and community with each other.
Our next destination: Flint Islamic Center featuring Shaykh Abdullah Waheed and Sh. Hunzla Zaidi. The program will begin after Maghrib prayer with a group discussion and end with Qiyam prayer after Isha, at approximately 11pm. This program is open to all ages.
For young professionals ages 23+ only: join us before the program for a social hour, outdoors at Flint Islamic Center. Light refreshments will be served. Please register so we can plan for your attendance!
