Karbala: The Legacy of Al-Husayn (RA)
As Muslims, we are taught to love and honor our Prophet ﷺ and his family. How, then, could anyone who claims Islam find themselves massacring his beloved grandson? The story of Karbala is a tragedy, but it also contains powerful lessons on legacy, loyalty, and the true meaning of victory.
Join Mufti Abdul Rahman Waheed, along with Shaykh Abdul Aziz Waheed and Br. Tareq Tamr, for a special collaboration between Thabaat and Miftaah Institute commemorating the life and legacy of Al-Husayn ibn Ali, may Allah be pleased with him.
Open to young professionals ages 23 and older. Light refreshments will be served. Due to Miftaah campus renovations, please enter through the side entrance and follow one of our guides into the event space.
