Each week in our Friday night halaqa we discuss one of Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala)’s Names or Attributes. Last Friday we continued our disucssion of Ar-Rahman, “The Most Merciful”.
Please share your thoughts about ways you find this Name reflected in your daily life. Perhaps, by sharing our thoughts and reflections, we can inspire each other to be more aware during everyday life, and increase our faith.
We have moved our new class, The Most Beautiful Names, to a new day and time. Please join us on Saturday evenings from 7pm to 9pm for refreshing insight into one of Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala)’s Names or Attributes, and a community potluck dinner!
For more information please contact us.
“And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allah, so call on Him by them. (Quran, Al-A’raf: 180)
“Allah has ninety-nine names, one-hundred minus one, and whoever enumerates them will go to Paradise.” (Hadith recorded in Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 50, Number 894).
Each night discover new meaning in one of the Names or Attributes of Allah, and learn how it relates to one’s everyday life situations. Move from theory to practice, by gaining a deeper understanding and working knowledge of these Most Beautiful Names!
