Timing update: We will serve refreshments at 7:30 PM and then start the discussion after sunset prayer.
We all know the virtues of helping others and being active in the community. On the other hand, isolating yourself from people and self development can also be valued. Join our discussion with Imam Wazir Ali to explore which is more important, or if there can be a balance!

Imam Dr. Ali completed an eight year mentorship program in Islamic Studies, comparative religion and Masjid administration under the guidance of Imam Qasim Ahmed.
