MANA was founded with the primary purpose of serving the community. As such, we have developed a comprehensive program designed to meet the diverse needs of our community. Our program includes both educational and social gatherings for brothers and sisters.
Tuesday Meetings
This meeting is for brothers only and currently held bi-weekly at MCC in Chicago every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month.
The objectives of these meetings are manifold. These gatherings provide the brothers with resourceful lectures and workshops on various topics dealing with spiritual growth, professional development, and legal education. They feature experts and professionals qualified to share firsthand knowledge in their respective domains that allows MANA members exposure to a pool of ideas and skills, and similarly enable them to become well-rounded members of the community.
Friday Coffee
This social gathering is held right after Salatul Jumu’ah every Friday at MCC. This is a nice way for the brothers to socialize and end the busy week.
Sisters’ Friday Meetings
These meetings are bi-weekly and are open to all sisters that are interested. The goal of the sisters Friday meetings are manifold. These gatherings provide the sisters with resourceful lectures and workshops on various topics dealing with spiritual growth, social development, and parenting. Friday meetings feature speakers who share with the sisters their ideas and knowledge.
