All Under The Banner Of Hussein Conference

Join us for this panel discussion at the Rhoda Masjid with Brother Muhammad Jaffer and Shaykh Hamdi Ben Aissa.  It has been a yearly tradition for us to invite a speaker from the Shi'a community at the end of the month of Muharram to commemorate together the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein. This year we will be focusing on the beautiful personality of Imam Hussain and the great legacy he left for all humanity on the path of spiritual development.  Our speakers, from both the Shi'a and Sunni community, will be sharing some insights about the life, the personality, and the story of the grandson of the beloved prophet. May God continue to nourish his soul and our connection to him. 

Who are our speakers? 

Shaykh Hamdi Ben Aissa
