Alhamdulillah, SNMC started Kids ( Boys/Girls) Quran Memorization with 10 students on Friday evenings in 2017. In 2018, the total enrollment rolled up to 350 students boys/girls, with 30+ volunteer teachers. SNMC only collects $10 per student but re-invests the fee collected for prizes and party for kids.
SNMC also has adult Quran Tajweed and memorization program under a good number of volunteer scholars on Saturdays after Zuhr and Sundays Fajr, Zuhr, and Maghrib.
Let us think of a spiritual person who starts the day by a beautiful recitation of Quan at Fajr followed by a short crispy reminder and also ends the day with a beautiful recitation of the Quran followed by end of day short crispy reminder.
All musallees will be considered as if completed the night prayer for the whole night by praying Fajr and Isha with the Congregation.
Assalam Alaikum Dear Sisters and Brothers
I pray that you all are doing well by the grace of Allah SWT.
