The best of deeds are those done consistently! This week, we help our youth put their intentional summer plans into action by learning strategies to execute their goals and establish sustainable habits!

Alhamdulillah, the first meeting of the West End Islamic Center youth group had 46 kids in attendance! Can't wait to get to know everyone more and help these kids develop their own relationships with Allah and a love of the Prophet!

Spiritual guidance and mentorship for youth is more important than ever. Masajid and Islamic community centers need to prioritize providing youth programs that are welcoming and relevant to their everyday lives.

New data in the #CDCYRBS Data Summary & Trends Report found that from 2011 to 2021, there was an increase in the percentage of all students who felt persistently sad or hopeless. Read the full report: https://t.co/UV6ypYquex

It's been a long General Assembly session, but I'm looking forward to returning to work with Muslim youth! Join us this Saturday at the West End Islamic Center for a discussion on the challenges Muslim youth face and how the community can better support them.

Thank you to Imam Amonette from the Islamic Center of Virginia for your invocation on the Senate floor today. I greatly appreciated your prayer centered on justice, equality, and welfare.

MLRVA is on a bit of a hiatus while I'm working in the Virginia General Assembly, but it was a pleasure to welcome Imam Ammar to the Capital yesterday to give the invocation in the Senate!

Looks like Saturday's going to be a great day for a hike! Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Reedy Creek Trailhead at 1:30 PM!

[Muslim Life RVA @MuslimLifeRVA]

@ibnabitareq @MakeSpace1 Next time you're heading to DC and want a little detour to the Capital of the Commonwealth, hit me up! We'd love to host you!

[Muslim Life RVA @MuslimLifeRVA]

Islam is not practiced in isolation; we must prioritize building institutions that cultivate community and fellowship.

The Prophet said: "A person is upon the din of their companion, so each one of you should look to see whom they take as a companion."

The ICNA Relief RVA Annual Day of Health is happening immediately prior, from 10AM to 1PM, and I highly encourage folks to go out and volunteer with them at Masjid al-Falah.

[Muslim Life RVA @MuslimLifeRVA]

Our last hike was rained out but we're going to try it again! Join us on Saturday, October 22 from 1:30 to 3:30 PM at the Reedy Creek Trailhead.

Pray for sunny skies and insha'Allah I'm looking forward to hitting the trails with you all!

Tomorrow, you can get free entry to Chesterfield Berry Farm if you work in public service (healthcare, education, public safety, state+local gov). It's a great outing, especially if you have young children!

An excerpt from a hadith we'll be studying tomorrow in the RVA Muslim Youth Group. One of my favorites in which the Prophet counsels young Ibn Abbas.

Muslim Night with the Richmond Kickers was a huge success! We sold 68 tickets and everyone had a great time. Thank you to the @RichmondKickers !
