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: Islamic Association of Greater Detroit in Rochester Hills, featuring Shaykh Abdul Aziz Waheed, Shaykh Muhammad Bin Arshad, and Brother Tareq Tamr! The program will begin after Isha prayer with a group discussion and end with Qiyam prayer at approximately 9:30 pm. This program is open to all ages.
For young professionals ages 23+ only: join us before the program for a social hour at IAGD's new basement! Light refreshments will be served. Please register so we can plan for your attendance!
