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

Join us for our first session with Imam Abdul-Malik Merchant and Omar Nassimi as they discuss "Finding Community".

The theme of this year's Ramadan Nights is The Search, where explore the institutions and people that created us, our quests to rediscover them, and the answers for how they bring us closer to God. Each week of this 4-part series will focus on something different for which we are searching for, highlighting our personal experiences and incorporating key lessons from the story of Prophet Musa (Peace Be Upon Him) and how they relate to 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 us fund future events! Tickets will be capped at 600 due to spacing limitations.

Open to young adults ages 18+, absolutely all are welcome and greatly look forward to your attendance this Ramadan!
