Foreword

Assalamu'alaikum. Welcome to this plain, mediocrely designed hut of mine. I love to write, and this is where I write. Things that I write, there might be mistakes in them. I seek refuge in Allah swt for me and you from the harm my writing may bring. Any good from it, may He swt reward me for that and spread the good to others. Any words that appear displeasing to you, don't take it to heart for I don't intend to hurt anyone in any way. Any advices I put forward, may Allah swt give me the taufiq to first act upon them, for they might testify against me in the hereafter. Jazakallah Khair.

halaqah mesyuarah in a nutshell

Alhamdulillah. I think it's safe to say that the halaqah mesyuarah was a success. Considering this was the first time we had such event over here at ICR, it was not bad at all. On starting the mesyuarah, we had up to 50 brothers..and later on that number was decreasing due to some people leaving early. But still, we had a good number throughout. I was on khidmat (serving) so I was not there all the time to participate in the mesyuarah. To be frank, we didn't really "participate" in the discussion since all we actually did was listen to it. Anyway..at least I got to learn how to conduct such a scale of mesyuarah. Ok. Here's the sum-up of the program;

Buffalo Halaqah Mesyuarah
Venue: Islamic Center of Rochester (ICR) NY
Time: after Zuhr - Isya'

Umoor (Matters discussed):

1) Karkuzari of da'wah effort from different masjids (in order)
  • Masjid Al-Huda, Lackawanna >> Burmese Musolla (Syracuse, NY) >> Islamic Center of Syracuse, NY >> ICR, Rochester >> Burmese community in Rochester >> RIT *sincerely, not worth addressing* >> Buffalo markaz >> Jamek masjid (Buffalo) 

2) Masthurat (Ladies) effort *not relevant to bachelors -_-")*
  • One jama'ah is spending 3 days in January

3) 10 days masthurat jama'ah is going on January 17, 2012

4) Effort on students
  • Jords (gatherings) for students to be discussed in city mesyuarahs (respective to the different masjids)

5) 2 months tarteeb Nizamuddin where people come to Nizamuddin to listen to latest tarteeb (instructions) from the ulama' and elders

7) The next halaqah mesyuarah will be held at Lackawanna masjid on Saturday, Feb 4, 2012, after Zuhr.

8) Effort on "dry" areas (places where there are muslims living but no access to the masjid)

9) Effort among different language brothers
