IECOC would like to wish you and your families a blessed holy month of Ramadan. The month of Ramadan is a time for us to re-energize our hearts, bodies, and minds. It is a time for us to nourish our souls with fasting, prayer, supplications, charity, and many other virtuous deeds.
IECOC will be holding its month-long nightly programs beginning on Thursday evening, June 18, 2015, inshaAllah. The programs will begin one hour before sunset with a Qur’an recitation circle, followed by congregational prayers, iftar, Du’a Iftitah, and concluding with a Qur’an tafsir presentation by Imam Sayed Moustafa al-Qazwini.
For this year’s program, Imam al-Qazwini will be discussing and analyzing various verses from the Holy Qur’an that are often misunderstood in today’s contemporary world. Topics will include: The Qur’an and violence, the status and role of women in Islam, the meaning and role of Shari’ah law, issues related to family law, and many others. Imam al-Qazwini has graciously accepted to discuss those verses that community members are interested in learning about. If you would like to submit a topic or verse for Imam al-Qazwini to address during the holy month, please email imam@iecoc.org
