Let’s face it, we’ve all made mistakes- it’s what makes us humans.
Sometimes, we are so ashamed of our sins and we really try our best to make up for it but we’re not sure exactly how.
Sometimes, it feels like our actions have completely shattered the light at the end of the tunnel.And lots of times, we forget that we have been given guidance by the Ar-Rahman, Ar-Rahim, The Extremely Merciful, The Constantly Merciful. This guidance has been given to us in the form of our beautiful Deen: Islam.

As the saying of our beautiful Prophet (S) has been narrated, “Every descendant of Adam is oft to err, and the best of those who err are those who are oft to repent.” -Tirmidhi. Dr. Hakim Quick will help us explore and deeper our connections with Islam so when we ‘err’, we can reduce the instances where we lose sight of Islam, undermine Allah swt’s mercy, and even stop a specific error all together. InshAllah.

When: Thursday, January 19th, 2012 at 7pm
Where: Galvin Auditorium, in Sullivan Center (6339 North Sheridan Road, Chicago, IL)
