Friday Table Sale in San Jose

After several treks across the country and across borders, we are back in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is truly a blessing to travel and meet such wonderful people in the different communities.

It is also a blessing to have such fantastic supporters here in the Bay Area. We are honored to be invited to set up a booth at the Napredak Hall where the South Bay Islamic Association regularly organizes the Friday prayer. Ustadh Yahya Rhodus will be delivering the khutbah and leading the prayers.

If you regularly pray at Napredak Hall, please stop by the booth and say ‘hello’ or ’salaam’! If you have not heard Ustadh Yahya before, Friday will be a great opportunity!

For more details, you can visit this page.

Update: Ustadh Yahya will be on MeccaOne tonight at 5:00pm - January 19, 2006.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day - Reflections

Today was a day of reflections. A day to encourage one another not to forget a dream. A dream for humanity. While we were reflecting on MLK Day, we were wondering when will we have MX Day? Brother Malcolm X, we miss you. We thank God for allowing us to have you to inspire us. We will never forget MX.
 
Coming soon: Malcolm & Martin: Implications of Their Legacies For The Future DVD
This will be the video release of the December 2, 2005 event with Dr. Cornel West and Imam Zaid Shakir.

The Fall and Rise of the Ummah - Imam Zaid

Alhambra Productions strives to be at the forefront of new technologies. We released an MP3 CD in 2004 entitled “The Rise and Fall of the Ummah” by Imam Zaid Shakir. With the expanding iPod generation upon us, it is no wonder this release has been immensely popular. This single CD contains the complete 8 week class taught by Imam Zaid in the Zaytuna Institute. This CD has over 11 hours of audio!

We have received a lot of feedback from users of the famous iPod and other MP3 portable players. They have remarked how wonderful it is to be able to transfer the files from the CD to their players. For those without an iPod or similar device, you can still play this release on your computer with a media player. Some new CD players are MP3 CD compatible.

Trip report: Reviving the Islamic Spirit 2005

Here is a brief overview of the excellent time we had at the amazing Reviving the Islamic Spirit event in Toronto, Canada. We had a great time at our booth (especially since the organizers were so gracious to upgrade us to a better location!). We were impressed with the local Canadian community. We were also surprised to meet some fellow Muslims and non-Muslims from the US. One highlight was when a brother informed us that he was ready to take his shahada (testimony of faith) and become a Muslim. Another highlight was meeting and having a meal with Raihan. Not only they fantastic artistes but also wonderful human beings. They were humble and kind. It was an honor to have met pioneers in Islamic media. Even our friends, Native Deen, recognized Raihan for being the forerunners in the current generation of Islamic artistes. And of course, we also had the blessed opportunity to be with our beloved teachers, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf and Imam Zaid Shakir.

Other notable scholars we met include:

Shaykh Abdullah Bin Bayyah - it was under guidance and Shaykh Hamza that our new friend took his shahada. Shaykh Abdullah conducted several sessions of beneficial lectures in the Convention as well as the Knowledge Retreat.
Dr. Zakir Naik - we were blessed to have sat with Dr. Zakir for a brief moment.

Shaykh Mohammad Jebril - another brief encounter with a world famous Quran reciter.
Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq - another brief encounter but we have heard so much about him, we had to meet him and extend our salaam from the Bay Area community.

Shaykh Abdullah Adhami - What a wonderful and humble person. He has been a great influence ever since we heard him on the Sacrifices CD. A must buy!

Dr. Abdul Hakim Jackson - It was a tremendous honor to meet such a prolific scholar.

Other people we met:

Native Deen - as mentioned above. We had met earlier at the Virginia Minara Program, so it was good to see them again.

Sami Yusuf - check out his new album here.
Moez Masoud - our dear friend said we had to meet him. So we did. He’s cool.

We also met up with friends from Meem Music, Ihya Foundation, SunniPath. We also made some new friends!
