Islamic Solutions to Societal Ills: Sunni and Shia

  • 46903 Sugarland Rd Sterling, VA 20164 USA (map)

Join Imams Farhan Siddiqi and Abdul-Malik Merchant in their monthly series on Islamic Solution to Societal Ills at the HAWA Center!

The Muslim community does a great job of organizing interfaith events for other communities to get to know Islam, but how well do we know the different sects within our own religion?

Join us as we have a discussion on the sects of our ummah — what makes them different from one another, but more importantly, what similarities do we hold that unite us as a community.

Open to men and women come by for a discussion-based talk with Q&A, socialization, and snacks!  

7pm - Halaqah

⁠8:15pm - Q&A

8:40pm - Maghrib

While tickets are complimentary, donations are greatly appreciated to support future events for both Dar Al-Hijrah and the Adams Center!
