Feeding The Soul

It is a wonderful honor to have been invited by the South Valley Islamic Community to participate in their 3rd Annual Ramadan Community Dinner.

The event has traditionally been entitled ‘Feeding The Soul’.

Previous year’s events have included Imam Zaid as the keynote speaker. This year, Shaykh Ilyas Anwar will be the keynote speaker, insha’Allah. It is truly an honor to have been asked to be the sole vendor at this community gathering.

We would like to thank the SVIC for their invitation and sincerity! The SVIC is located

in Morgan Hill, California and serves the Gilroy, Hollister and San Martin areas as well.

Shaykh Hamza Yusuf & Imam Zaid Shakir
November 19th & 20th, 2005
Crowne Plaza - Tampa, Florida

ZAYTUNA MINARA PROGRAM
A symbol of assistance and hope, the minara (lighthouse) offers guidance for wayfarers of the world. With so many Muslims searching for knowledge while grappling with the arduous scheduling demands of the modern world, we proudly offer the Zaytuna Minara Program. This new program provides a concentrated educational format in which selected topics are taught in two, day-long sessions to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge. The Zaytuna Minara Program is open to all students, new and experienced, with no application required. All wayfarers are welcome.

AGENDA TO CHANGE OUR CONDITION
First published in 2001, this seminal text provides clear and effective guidance for rectifying our state as conscientious and productive Muslims. With an emphasis on Taqwa (conscientiousness) and Ikhlas (sincerity), Agenda To Change Our Condition is an indispensable handbook for all Muslims striving for excellence in character and serves as the basis of the first installment of the Zaytuna Minara Program. Topics covered in this program include: Practical Steps to Change Our Condition, Taqwa: Its Definition and Its Benefits, The Heart and Its Treatment, Civic Involvement, and a series of exercises for achieving Taqwa.
