Midnight zikr - 99 Names of Allah
Quran Quiz was a lot of fun. It was candy shower. Most people got the answers to the quiz questions and were very upbeat 3:00 am!
I thought all of the speakers did a great job. Br. Saffet's workout and Ramadan analogy was great. Br. Khalid's talk on Muslim identity was right on target. Br. Sohaib's speech on "Remembering Allah amidst chaos and confusion" was well received. The 99 Names of Allah and recitation of the Quran led by Br. Sami was very motivation and spiritually awakening. And not to forget, Br. Hisham Mahmoud's talk on spiritual dimensions of the fast was superb. I loved the linguistic approach in explaining the meaning of Saum and Ramadan. Imam Chebli and young hafiz's recitation and salatal tasabih gave strength to the overall program last night.
Here, I would like to show my deep appreciation for all of the youth who worked really hard to organize this event. There was not a single bad incident. There were over 100 people and everything was organized - alhamdo lillah. Also, special thanks to the ISCJ Social Activities Committee; they were the backbone of the program. Much thanks and appreciation to all of the sisters who helped organize this event. Br. Saffet mentioned it correctly they stand by the pillars "because they are the pillars of our community".
May Allah accepts our good actions and dua's.

Assalaamu 'alaikum,
I agree, I thought the whole night was a success MashaAllah. Everyone worked together and with each other to help and try to bring some zhikr into our lives - at least for one night. My favorite lecture had to be Br. Hisham's - MashaAllah a very soft spoken and eloquent brother - and the way he brought linguistics into his speech was very nice.
Maybe next year InshaAllah, we can have more than one of these with a bigger turnout :)
Wassalaam

jazak Allah khair for all of your help Arif.
