SUMMARY:Winter: The Season of the Believer
DESCRIPTION:\nAs the nights grow longer and the air turns cold, the believer finds warmth in faith and renewal in worship. In this special two-day mini-semester course, Ustadh Murad explores how winter is a season of spiritual opportunity—where shorter days make fasting easier and long nights invite deeper prayer and reflection.\nThrough Qur’anic insights, Prophetic guidance, and timeless wisdom from our tradition, students will learn to see winter not as a time of stillness, but of sacred awakening. Together, we’ll uncover how the believer transforms the cold into closeness with Allah, the darkness into light, and the season itself into a path of patience, gratitude, and spiritual growth. This class invites both new and lifelong Muslims to embrace winter as a gift for the heart and soul.\n\nRegister here:\nhttps://events.meccacenter.com\n\n\nInstructor and Timing\nClass will be taught by Ustadh Meurad Osman.

SUMMARY:The Mother of the Book and the Protecting Surahs
DESCRIPTION:Surah Fatiha is the first chapter of the Quran and known as the “Umm ul Kitab”, the Mother of the Book. This Surah is recited about 32x a day by believers!

Dive deep and gain new powerful insights into these short but powerful Surahs, which most Muslims have memorized. Not only will you enhance your understanding, but you will completely transform your prayers for the rest of your life by becoming more connected to the All-Merciful through reflecting on the meanings of these Surahs each time that you pray.\nRegister here: https://events.meccacenter.com ( https://events.meccacenter.com/events/meccacenternyc/1237390/r/website-event-page )\nInstructor and Timing\nClass will be taught by Ustadh Meurad on Sundays from 2:30pm to 4pm EDT weekly from May 26 to June 16.\nCheck out our teacher bios here: https://meccacenter.com/about/teachers/\nPrerequisite   – None required.\nRecording – Each session will be recorded on Zoom.
