SBIA invites you to an evening of nasheed with renowned Macedonian-Turkish performer Mesut Kurtis this Wednesday evening. Ustadh Ali Ataie will also give a brief talk at the event entitled "What is Love?".
Wednesday, January 14th 8:00 – 9:30pm. Masjid al-Mustafa, 2345 Harris Way, San Jose.
This is a free event, although contributions are welcome — we suggest a donation of $20 to help cover costs. We expect a full house, so we encourage you to carpool to the event.
SBIA's Annual Mawlid will be this Saturday, January 17th as well. Mark your calendars for both events!
