It is that time of the year when ICNA & MAS workers invite Muslims living in North America to convene at a central location and ponder upon the critical issues facing the Muslims in particular and Humanity in general.

THOUSANDS OF MUSLIMS TO CONVENE IN HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT FOR THE ANNUAL JOINT CONVENTION OF THE ISLAMIC CIRCLE OF NORTH AMERICA (ICNA) AND THE MUSLIM AMERICAN SOCIETY (MAS)

Insha Allah, the gathering is expected to be one of the largest Islamic conventions of the year, it will draw Muslims from America and around the world.

This year's theme is Family: The Foundation of Our Society.

Various Islamic scholars and key Islamic figures from the U.S. and around the world will address the convention attendees. Speakers will expound on pressing family topics ranging from building strong families in the changing times to establishing family friendly system.

Other highlights include:

lectures and interactive workshops on Islamic life

parallel youth conference

interfaith programs

ethnic food

special children events

extensive marketplace with over 250 vendors

This is the meeting where Islamic workers get their stimulation for another year to face the challenges of Dawah work in North America.

This is the place where Young Muslims come together to share their experiences of one whole year and learn some more tools to face the challenges of the life in North America.

This is the occasion when Muslim sisters join each others hands once again to strengthen their bond of Islamic sisterhood and make sure not to give in to the so called 'glamorous' and 'independent' life of North America.

This is the place where Muslim brothers/sisters bring their resources together to share the pains and sufferings of Muslim Ummah.

In organizing this convention, as in all our work, we are committed to fostering an environment which reflects, supports, and celebrates our collective diversity in terms of age, sex, gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, class, ability, spirituality, life experience, and point of view. In this diversity, ICNA creates a rainbow of unity of thoughts and actions, as how to live, act and behave like conscious Muslims in the vast ocean of liberal America.

BE THERE! Do Not Miss It!
