Awakening The Light - Sunrise Program

“Divine Lights shone forth from everywhere, For the appointed birth of the One of accepted prayers was now imminent.

Moments before dawn, she gave birth to the Shining Sun of Guidance. The Beloved, ennobled and safeguarded, was born ﷺ”

-Habib Umar Bin Hafiz, excerpt from the poetic work on the life of the prophet 'Shimmering Light'

We gather at this sacred time to comemorate and bask in the Divine Presence that presents itself at sunrise. This program is an opportunity to celebrate quietly, to change tunes and experience the music of silence and calm breathful remembrance meditation such as salawaat. This is a space for adults and teens who want to go deeper beyond the poetry, music, and melodies, and experience the sanctity of this moment in deep contemplation. We will also have opportunities to share poetry and a light sweet breakfast potluck at the end to feast on the nourishment of the morning's blessings.
