Asalaam Alaikum dear
Brothers & Sisters,
Please see below some Bay Area Muslim community
events for Jumm'ah, Friday January 9th , 2026 & the near future,
InshaAllah.
1. Assalaamu Alaykum, we often
speak about Isra & Miraj as a miracle of the heavens. But we rarely
speak about the pain that came before it. Before the ascent… There
was a loss. Before the honor… There was rejection. Before the heavens
opened… the world closed in on him ﷺ. That’s why we’re inviting you to a
special seminar: 🌸 Join us for Beyond the
Heavens An Introduction to Isra & Miraj with Shaykh
Majed Mahmoud 🗓️ Date: January 9, 2026, 🕖 Time: 7 PM Onwards, 📍 Venue: West Valley Muslim Association.
✨ Together, we’ll revisit: When Quraysh were desperate…
and plotting his death, three years of boycott, hunger, and isolation, The
Year of Sorrow: losing Abu Talib and Khadijah (RA), His most painful day
in Taif—stoned, bleeding, rejected, And the dua he made when he had
nothing left but Allah, 🌿 It’s a reminder for
anyone who has ever felt: Exhausted, Broken, Alone, Or at the lowest
point of their journey, Because Isra & Miraj was Allah’s response
to unbearable pain. When the world turned away from him ﷺ, Allah called
him closer than any human had ever been. Join us for Beyond the
Heavens and experience Isra & Mi‘raj not just as a miracle in
the sky… but as mercy sent at the exact moment it was needed most. May
Allah allow this reminder to soften our hearts and renew our hope. We’ll
see you there in sha Allah, Wasalaam. https://almaghrib.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=597c15e077ed9c02decd65ef6&id=be7b3e40ff&e=12628f5fed&i=d29e3a4e32, or https://almaghrib.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=597c15e077ed9c02decd65ef6&id=b8f3f72304&e=12628f5fed&i=d29e3a4e32. Al Maghrib presents Beyond
Heavens. A family evening with Sh Majed Mehmood! Join us at WVMA on
Friday, January 9th, at 7 PM to explore the amazing journey of Isra and
Mi‘raj. ✨ Sh. Majed Mahmoud will bring to life the Prophet’s
travel from Makkah to Jerusalem, his meeting with the Prophets in the
heavens, and the gift of the five daily prayers. 🤲🏽 Details at:

form strong Islamic identity, mentorship, and leadership. Building Community: A
permanent home for prayer, halaqas, family programs, gatherings, and nurturing
deeper community bonds. Building Foundation: Expanded educational programs with
Imam Fuad to reach more hearts and minds. Building Legacy: A strong institution
to serve future generations long after us. We look forward to seeing you on
January 31st to Build Futures together. Please share this with a friend and
earn the reward of: الدال على الخير كفاعله. "The one who guides to good is
like the one who does it."

needed to combat the forces of hate and oppression. Your presence is an act of
solidarity. 🎤 Our Speakers Join three powerful voices

explores the transnational roots of Islamophobia. Peyrin Kao: UC Berkeley
