The Shura Council congratulates the community and the leadership of Masjid Quba, also known as the Islamic Center of San Gabriel Valley for completing its expansion project. We pray that the new facility be blessed with the best of blessings and that it serves the community and society at large in a meaningful way. We also encourage everyone to join the celebration and enjoy a Masjid tour on Saturday June 22nd
 

The Shura Council applauds Ar-Rahman Islamic Center for completing its mortuary project and making it easier for the Inland Empire community's funeral arrangements. Click here for a full listing of SoCal mortuaries

 

Shura Council is seeking summer interns and volunteers in the areas of research, creative writing, editing and responding to prison inmates. Interested candidates please email us at info@shuracouncil.org with the subject line "volunteering". 

 

The Shura Council asks the community to hold Dr. Ahmad Sakr in your thoughts and prayers. He is recovering from a recent illness. We ask that instead of phone calls you may send your best wishes here.

 

While we congratulate all young men and women who are graduating this year, we invite their parents and grand parents to reflect on the new trends of the Class of 2013.

 

The only relationship between Google and Greek Yogurt is that they are the largest enterprises in their particular industries. Chobani Yogurt is a billion dollar per year company started only five years ago by Hamdi Ulukaya, a Turkish-American who diligently practices the Islamic value of generosity by donating 10% of his profits to charity. 

 

Imam positions available for the Islamic Center of Northridge (Tampa and Granada Hills). Interested candidates please email islamicccenterofnorthridge@gmail.com.
