Description:

“O you who have Imaan! Indeed liquor (wine, beer and other intoxicants), gambling, idols and (distribution by) arrows are filthy and evil acts of Shaytaan, so abstain from them so that you may be successful (gain salvation in both worlds).” [Surah Al-Maa’idah, v. 90]

The proliferation of drugs, gun violence, and gangs has crossed many religious and ethnic boundaries. The Muslim youth are no exception. Often, the perpetrators and/or victims of drug, gun, and gang-related violence are individuals with Muslim names.

Masjid Bilal Muslim Association will host a half-day Youth Tarbiyah Program for boys aged 13 – 19. The topic of this program will be Drugs, Guns & Gangs.

There are limited spots, so please register to avoid disappointment.
