Ramadan Nights, Qahwa Cafe’s event of the year, returns!
Join us for our final session of the series with Imam Kebba Sallah and Ust. Madeha Baqai as they discuss “The Legacy”.
We will ask questions such as: How do we grow beyond the mistakes of our lives? How do we establish a legacy for this Ramadan? How can we live a life that Allah (SWT) will be proud of after we pass?
This year’s theme is A Life of Redemption, where we will explore the perpetual yet destined cycle of Redemption that defines our actions, our Prophets, our lives, and our Ramadan. Each week of this 4-part series will focus on a different stage of Redemption, highlighting our personal experiences, incorporating key lessons from the story of Prophet Adam (Peace Be Upon Him) and his wife Hawwa, and how they reflect our own lives.
Doors open at 11:45pm after Taraweeh with the main event beginning at 11:59pm in the Main Musallah. Featuring a talk and discussion circles, registration is free but donations are strongly encouraged to help support future Ramadan and year round events for young adults! Tickets will be capped at 600 due to spacing limitations.
Open to young adults ages 18+, this week’s food vendors are Smash’d and Press’d and Cater To Youu. Absolutely all are welcome and greatly look forward to your attendance this Ramadan!
