Let the Qur'an mend your heart
A women's gathering to listen to the Qur'an together, with live female reciters. Recite with us, or come, sit and listen. No Qur'an reading ability is required, and you are welcome even if you do not know how to recite.
We begin by setting our intention, spend most of the gathering reciting with and listening to Qur'an recitation, and close with a short reflection and Maghrib prayer in jama'ah. For this gathering our reciters will be reading from Surah Al-Baqarah, insha Allah.
Bring the heaviness of this world with you and let the Qur'an mend your heart. This is a free program. Register to hold your place.
