Dear Community Members,
We’d like to apologize for a mixup on our website. We had mistakenly marked an Eid Dinner on our events calendar for Saturday, September 25, 2010. There will not be an Eid dinner this Saturday.
Instead, we are having a community dinner this Friday night (today) after a short lecture as part of our weekly Friday Night Fun. The gymnasium will be open for the youth. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your understanding and support.

During the last 10 days of Ramadan, the WIC held an I’tikaf for individuals who wanted to spend the night at the masjid inbetween late-night Taraweeh prayers and early-morning Qiyam prayers.
Like any I’tikaf, when you get a group of Muslim Brothers together, the results are usually photo-worthy.
Some people wonder why Muslims are some of the most fascinating individuals.
The answer to that is easy:
We work while we sleep.
We also think while we sleep.
As you see, most of us start thinking at a very young age.
Some of our younger prodigy are already mastering the art of extraction.
