Do you ever look at other faith communities and think why the Muslim community can’t be organized in the same way? Why do our communities feel so disconnected?

Come learn how each and every one of us can help in building a strong community that we so desperately need.

While the event insha’Allah is free admission, we will be collecting donations for the victims of the Haiti earthquake. Please bring any amount big or small to give to the cause. Insha’Allah the funds will be going to Islamic Relief.

How would you describe your weekly khutbah experience?

Description: Ever have trouble making that last minute khutbah? Or how about feeling uncomfortable when talking in front of a big crowd? Is your halaqa topic dry and has no touch to it? Are you having trouble running your MSA or youth group? Then this workshop is for you!

Join us as Br. Faraz Khan, Br. Sohaib Sultan and Khalid Latif give us the lowdown on how to run an Islamic organization, manage our MSA’s, how to best prepare a khutbah, halaqa, or any other topic which we need to present in a big group gathering, and how to make a dry topic seem enlightening!

In addition to the above program, Br. Faraz and Sohaib will be going over topics such as how to live a purposeful life, dynamics of successful leadership, the making of a youth leader,a leader vs a dictator, and synergy & the power of one.

We will also have brothers and sisters who will be aiding us in the workshop. These brothers and sisters have ran halaqaat and organizations in the past and are now working with other organizations on a more national level. They will be working with each group, 1-on-1 to help better understand and relate the material. Come join us for a night of bettering ourselves to become the leaders of tomorrow! This is a seminar for all youth, brothers and sisters, in the New Jersey area!
