Abdullahi Xagalle
Alhamdulilah, we are excited to announce an upcoming youth retreat event with Sheikh Mohammad ElShinawy.

Youth Retreat Event Next Saturday, June 27th at 6 PM

 

The Sheikh is a graduate of English Literature – Brooklyn College, NYC. Studied at the College of Hadith at the Islamic University of Madinah and is currently completing Bachelor's in Islamic Studies at Mishkah University. He has translated major works for the International Islamic Publishing House, the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America, and Mishkah University.



In light of the numerous issues facing Muslims today with the Coronavirus pandemic, masjid closures, social distancing, political unrest, and countless other sad and disheartening experiences, the Sheikh will discuss the importance of optimism and positivity in the life of the Believer. The event will take place via ZOOM. Email youth.retreatbic@gmail.com for the Zoom link or DM us on Instagram: BICyouthretreat. Spread the khayr, invite your friends, family, and share widely.
