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 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 (MCA) featuring Sh. Abdul Aziz Waheed, Sh. Oosman Mustoofa, and Br. Tareq Tamr. The program will begin after Isha prayer with a group discussion and end with Qiyam prayer, at approximately 10:00pm. This program is open to all ages.
For young professionals ages 23+ only: join us before the program for a social hour outdoors at MCA, weather permitting. Please register so we can plan for your attendance!
