We are living in a time filled with corruption, hate, and rudeness. Everyone seems to be out for themselves and every week we learn about more jaw-dropping, immoral behavior at the highest levels of society. As Muslims, the most important thing that we can focus on in these times is to acquire good traits.
In this virtual series, we discuss the traits of the Believers as described in the Qur’an and that are exemplified by Allah’s friends, who are His most favorite servants.
8 p.m. to 9 p.m. | Wednesdays | Sept. 16 to Dec. 2 | Free, no registration | Watch live at http://mcceastbay.org/live and watch past sessions at http://mcceastbay.org/hallmark
Each Wednesday evening, we cover one new trait like patience, trust (tawakul) or standing up for justice, provide examples of great people that have embodied that quality, and discuss practical steps for how we can cultivate these virtues and reshape our character to be pleasing to our Creator and His Messenger.
