ADAMS Center

Please join us for our monthly UmmaTea session, open to the community, hosted by ADAMS Young Adults in partnership with ADAMS Qurtuba and Qahwa Cafe!

All of us have been touched by loss, whether the passing of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, or struggling to support someone else who is grieving. At the final UmmaTea session of 2025, we invite the whole community for a timeless and universal conversation about how the Quran can be a healing and a salve for our hearts when afflicted with pain, especially grief after loss.

As Allah SWT says in Surah Isra, “And We send down of the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy for the believers” (17:82). How can we connect our hearts to the Quran and allow the Everlasting Word of Allah guide us through life’s transitions, providing us with hope and grounding as we begin a new year?

Join Imam Magid as we think and learn together to answer these questions. We know this is a holiday weekend, many students and family members are in town. Please invite anyone you wish to join us for warm tea and winter themed snacks in communiTea!

Please come with a notebook, a pen, and your own water bottle. Tea and snacks will be served as usual. Please arrive on time— we will open the doors at 7:45PM for tea time and then begin the main program after promptly after Isha, insha’Allah.

We welcome all members of our community over 21 to attend this event! As we provide free tea and snacks, we ask that if you are able, to please purchase a ticket and/or gift a donation to allow us to keep this event free and accessible to ADAMS Young Adults and Young Professionals! May Allah SWT reward you all and may He continue to protect and bless our community.

Program Description:

Across the centuries, remarkable men and women have illuminated the path of Islam through their scholarship, character, and devotion. This multi-part series begins with Part 1, a five-session arc designed to ground participants in the foundations of our legal and scholarly tradition. We begin with an introductory session on the Four Sunni Schools of Jurisprudence — how they developed, why differences emerged, and the shared principles that unite them.

We then explore the lives and legacies of the Imams of the four Sunni schools — Imām Abū Ḥanīfa, Imām Mālik ibn Anas, Imām al-Shāfiʿī, and Imām Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal — through sessions dedicated to their scholarship, character, and enduring influence. Each gathering invites participants to rediscover the beauty, depth, and cohesion of our shared tradition.

Please note that our program will pause for the Thanksgiving holiday and resume afterward. We will also take a break for New Year’s.

*This will be an ongoing multi-part series. Part 2, featuring additional scholars and spiritual exemplars — including Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawzīyah, Imām Jaʿfar al-Ṣādiq, Sayyidah Nafīsa, Sayyidah Sukayna, and others — will begin after Ramadan.

Program Details:

Join us every Monday from October 20th to February 9th for a fun and inclusive evening of basketball tailored for youth with special needs! This program offers a welcoming environment where kids and teens (ages 8–18) can enjoy physical activity, build skills, and connect with others.

To help everyone fully enjoy the event, we ask that you attend without children under the age of four. We appreciate your understanding! All guests five years old and above, will require a ticket.

Come dressed in your classy outfit or a suit & tie and enjoy a delicious Afghan lunch!
