Join us at Qahwa Cafe for A BARAKAH CENTERED VISION BOARDING EXPERIENCE, an afternoon of reflection and goal-setting led by UZMA UNUS!
We all have things we hope to accomplish, but how often do we pause to consider what is guiding those goals? What does a meaningful future look like for you? And how can we pursue our ambitions while keeping our faith, intentions, and sense of purpose at the center?
Through vision boarding, we will explore these questions as we reflect on what matters most and create a visual expression of the future we hope to build. With BARAKAH at the heart of the experience, this workshop offers space to connect our goals with our values and consider the meaningful steps we can take toward change.
Participants will create their own personal vision boards, bringing together their hopes, priorities, and intentions in a form they can take home and return to for inspiration. Whether you have a clear goal in mind or are still figuring out your next steps, come ready to reflect, get creative, and put your vision on the board!
Open to attendees ages 18+, registration is $20 per person and includes all vision boarding materials. Reserve your ticket and join us for an afternoon of purpose, creativity, and community. We look forward to seeing you there Inshallah!

Join us for an interactive and insightful singles workshop led by Baba Ali, co-founder of Half Our Deen.
Why More Options Left Us More Single
We have more ways to meet someone than any generation before us, and yet more Muslims are single than ever. What went wrong? In this workshop, Baba Ali looks at what swiping apps, speed dating, and even TV shows promised, and why they were built for dating rather than marriage. You’ll see how most people end up reduced to a photo and a few seconds of attention, and what quality looks like instead. You’ll leave with a practical order of places to look, a way to judge any event or website, and the questions to ask yourself before you begin.

“Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.”
Join us for a special 3-week Series on Choosing to Change with Abdelwahab Elsirag as we look at both the internal desires and external commitments required to accomplish the change within.
Many of want to change. We have lofty hopes and dreams of becoming better people but are often held back by our own weaknesses. Whether it’s anxiety, apathy, procrastination, or just plain laziness, many of us lack the conviction to look deep within ourselves and commit the change.
So how do we not only start to change but see those goals come to fruition? How can break out of cycles of inaction and relapses to finally grow? How do we ultimately live so our internal desires are accomplished by our external actions to improvement?
Featuring a talk and discussion, doors open at 6:45 for coffee and connection with the event beginning at 7:00 in Qahwa Cafe. Purchasing a ticket is encouraged and donations are always graciously appreciated to help support future events. We look forward to your attendance.

🌙 In Their Footsteps: Timeless Faith from the Lives of the Companions
with Ustadha Kouthar Muttardy
The Sahabah were not simply figures from history. They were people who learned to live faith with courage, sincerity, sacrifice, devotion, and resilience.
In this monthly women’s gathering, we will explore the lives of both male and female Companions through the virtues they embodied—and reflect on how those same qualities can shape our own lives today.
Come learn from their stories, strengthen your faith, and grow alongside a community of women seeking to walk in their footsteps.
