Deeply Devoted: A Monthly Qiyam
“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: Muslim Community Association in Ann Arbor, featuring Shaykh Abdul Aziz Waheed and Shaykh Yousef Wahb. The program will begin after Isha prayer with a group discussion and end with Qiyam prayer at approximately 10:15 pm. This program is open to all ages.
For young professionals ages 23+ only: join us before the program for a social hour outdoors at the Muslim Community Association! Light refreshments will be served. Please register so we can plan for your attendance!
