April 1, 2010 is The National Census Day.
As you know, the Census-2010 is in progress. It happens only once in 10 years. When you receive the census form, please fill it out and mail it in. It is important that we, as Muslims and/or minority groups, complete those forms accurately and send them in because many policy decisions, fund allocations to the cities and counties, as well as election redistricting decisions will be based on the data collected in those forms. In addition, if you receive visitors at home from the Census Bureau, please help them get an accurate count and accurate information. Before you accept anybody into your house however, please ask and view their badges and documents carefully. For more information, please visit: http://2010.census.gov/2010census/

Reflection From The Meccan Years
Shaykh Muhammad Ninowy & Shaykh Alaeddin El-Bakri
March 27th & 28th - 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM At the MCA (3003 Scott Blvd, Santa Clara, CA 95054)
And Muhammad is His Messenger...It is a phrase we say everyday, flowing off our tongues so easily and habitually that all too often we never stop for a moment to ask ourselves, what does it really mean?
We might have thought we have heard about the Seerah of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)before, but have we? If the Seerah we have heard before is just a story to us, and nothing more, then we have not truly heard it. If our eyes do not shed tears pondering over his life, then we do not truly know him. If our spirits and moral character are not uplifted learning from his life and example, then we have not experienced the Seerah.
Join Al-Madina Institute instructors Shaykh Muhammad Ninowy and Shaykh Alaeddin El-Bakri, in "And Muhammad is His Messenger - Reflections From The Meccan Years", as they dive into the treasures of the Seerah. Emphasizing the relevance the events of the Seerah have in our own personal journey towards our Creator, "And Muhammad is His Messenger" focuses on internalizing the Seerah and applying it to our everyday life, while cultivating the immense love for the Prophet that is necessary for its proper application.
Learn how the Seerah speaks to your heart and how the life story of our Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, can transform our own lives in this world and the next.
