Ramadan Nights, Qahwa Cafe's event of the year, returns!

Join us for our third session with Ust. Kouthar Muttardy and Othman Altalib as they discuss "The Redemption".

We will ask questions such as: How do we repent and rebuild ourselves after we’ve fallen? What do we do if we fall back into sin after we repent? How can we help those around us who are trying to redeem themselves?

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 10:45pm after Taraweeh with the main event beginning at 11pm 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 Melt DMV. Absolutely all are welcome and greatly look forward to your attendance this Ramadan!
