ICC - Khutbah on Saying Salam

1/18/2013

ICC

Jummah at ICC has never been a bad experience, per se, today is no exception. The talk was relevant, brief, and to the point. I actually enjoyed this khutbah, it's nice to listen to good khutbahs from time to time, it instills a sense of hope for the Ummah at large. Wouldn't you say?

Anyway, go ahead, read on.

Mosque Foundation - First Khutbah of the New (Gregorian) Year

1/4/2013

Salam everyone,

I hope you all had a merry time these last two weeks, clearly, KK was on hiatus due to the festivities. No, I am not a Christian (I hope that should go without saying), but I do love Christmas, it is actually my most favorite time of year, especially Christmas in Chicago, it can feel quite surreal and wonderful.

But let's get the new year off to a good start, well sort of. I attended Jummah today at Mosque Foundation in the South Side (not the Ghetto South per se, but the Arab South), and well, the khutbah had some idiosyncrasies that I would very much like to share with you all, so continue reading!

Masjid Noor - Jummah Khutbah

NO

Today I attended the jummah khutbah at the long standing Masjid - e - Noor, literally translated as "The Mosque of Divine Light". A mosque with such a name should be spewing insight and wisdom from every conceivable orifice...

Or so one would think...

MCC - Miracles Do Happen.

11/23/2012

MCC

You know... Either God is answering my prayers or the MCC staff is taking my words seriously, either way, I am delighted to announce that today's khutbah was pretty much completely good. Wow... Never thought I would say that about MCC. It is the season for miracles after all. Not Muslim miracles, Christian miracles, but miracles nonetheless.

U of C MSA Khutbah

I attended the University of Chicago's MSA Jummah Khutbah and I must say, they still have a pretty clean record.

The khutbah is as follows:

MEC.... Hi. - Jummah Khutbah - November 9 2012

11/9/2012

MEC

Salam fellow Chicagoans (and everyone else). So... for some reason, the MCC Web Administrators don't like to update their site with the Jummah prayer timings, that's a bad thing. You guys should update it, people can show up at 2pm thinking there is a Jummah prayer going on, haha, fortunately, that didn't happen to me, so we good... For now.

Let's jump right into the khutbah, shall we?

ICC - Jummah Khutbah on Eid al Adha

10/26/2012

ICC

Assalamu Alaikum and Eid Mubarak everyone!

I hope you all are enjoying the festivities, I don't really know what I mean when I say "festivities", I guess we meet, greet, and eat on Eid, sounds like a good plan. Anyway, today I went to ICC for Jummah, and the khutbah was really nice. What? Don't believe me? Read for yourself!
