MAPS Library Update 

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Whoever follows a path to seek knowledge, Allah will make the path toJannah (Paradise) easy for them."  [Muslim]

In February 2016, we announced the opening of a library at MAPS. After one year of operation, by the grace of Allah s.w.t., we had 364 members, approximately 2,000 book transactions, and hundreds of patrons using the library as a place to read, study quietly, and access electronic and online resources.

In our first year of operation, we noticed that children and youth books were always in high demand.  We are happy to announce that starting this Friday, March 24th, MAPS Library is teaming up with the Kids' Islamic Library to offer more children's books on Islam with educational materials and wonderful stories from the Quran, Seerah, Prophets, Sahaba, and other historical figures in Islamic history.

Our collection of close to 1,000 children's and youth books include fictional mystery/adventure books written by Muslim authors that incorporate Islamic values and traditions, as well as books for teenagers that deal with modern issues our children face in the West.  This collection will be available for check-out starting this Friday at MAPS library in shaa Allah.

Hadith of the Week

Allah's Messenger (S.A) said, "Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is an oppressed one. People asked, "O Allah's Messenger (S.A)! It is all right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?" The Prophet (S.A) said, "By preventing him from oppressing others."

Sahih al-Bukhari 2444
