Sunday, July 9, new and revert members in our area were given the opportunity to experience a community Eid celebration breakfast at a nearby Hoover, IHOP, hosted by BIS and Sisters Mariam Hammoud and Monica Khalaf, reverts themselves and long standing members of our local community.
Imam Sameh and several other brothers attended, as well as numerous sisters and children. In attendance, were also residents new to Birmingham and those who had just recently said the shahada, all coming together to share gifts, play games, and engage in meaningful conversation. Much of the dialogue reflected on the month of Ramadan and the mercy of Allah (swt).
May Allah (swt) continue to bless our community, our nation, and our entire, Ummah by allowing us this type of important, needed, and enjoyable fellowship. And reward the efforts of all who made this beautiful time together possible including our newest brothers and sisters in Islam.
If you are interested in our new member outreach, wish to participate, or to volunteer please contact the BIS office at 205-879-4247 or send an email to bisoffice@bisweb.org.
