Personal Health and Islam - Family Night
2015-03-27 19:30 - 21:00 | Cypress Islamic Center, 16103 Cypress Rosehill Rd., Cypress, TX, 77429, United States
From an Islamic perspective health is viewed as one of the greatest blessings that God has bestowed on mankind. It should be noted that the greatest blessing after belief is health, as narrated in the following Hadith:
“The final messenger of God, Prophet Muhammad (SAW) mounted the pulpit, then wept and said, “Ask Allah (SWT) for forgiveness and health, for after being granted certainty, one is given nothing better than health.”
Related in Tirmidhi
Health is indeed a favor that we take for granted. We should express gratitude to God for bestowing us with health, and we should try are up most to look after it. God has entrusted us with our bodies for a predestined period of time. He will hold us to account on how we looked after and utilized our bodies and good health.

Hajj Seminar 2015
2015-08-22 20:30 - 21:30 | Cypress Islamic Center, 16103 Cypress Rosehill Rd., Cypress, TX, 77429, United States
By Sheikh Aref Hammad
Hajj, unlike all other religious practices, carries the potential of complete spiritual transformation
Hajj primarily is an attempt by a pilgrim to revitalize the contract the he carries with his Creator. According to the correct view, Hajj was made obligatory in 9AH, the year of the Delegations, in which Soorat Aal ‘Imraan was revealed, in which Allaah says:
“And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka’bah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allaah, those who can afford the expenses (for one’s conveyance, provision and residence).” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:97]
Cypress Islamic Center has arranged a class on the subject of proper procedures and steps of hajj for our brothers and sisters who are going for hajj this year and those who have the intentions to go to hajj in the future.

Importance of Fasting on the Day of Ashura
2015-10-22 19:30 | Cypress Islamic Center, 16103 Cypress Rosehill Rd., Cypress, TX, 77429, United States
Join us to know more about the significance and the misconceptions that people have about the observance of this day.
Ruling:
Ibn Abbas said ” I never saw the prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) more concerned about fasting than on the day of Ashura, and in the month of Ramadan.
On this day Moses and Noah were both saved from Firoun’s army and the flood.
Fasting is recommended on the day of Ashura and the day of Tasua’s, and they are the 10th and 9 the of the month of Muharam. This is due to the prophet محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم statement “وصوم يوم عاشوراء يكفر سنه ماضية” رواه مسلم
“And fasting the Day of Ashura expiates the previous year (i.e its sins, if major sins were avoided ).
And just as he صلى الله عليه وسلم fasted the Day of Ashura and ordered the people to fast it, he said ” فإذا كان العام المقبل ان شاء الله صمنا اليوم التاسع”
“When the next year comes, if Allah wills we shall fast the ninth day as well” narrated by Muslim and Abu Daoud. This means he recommended to fast a day before the 10th of Muharam or a day after it.
Q&A Session:
Sheikh Aref Hamad will deliver the talk and hold a Q&A session afterwards in sha Allah.

Islamophobia - Rights and Responsibilities of Muslim Community in America
2015-10-30 19:30 - 20:30 | Cypress Islamic Center, 16103 Cypress Rosehill Rd., Cypress, TX, 77429, United States
It is undeniable that we are witnessing unprecedented levels of anti-Islam sentiment in the U.S. Imagine stepping out of your house of worship and seeing a group of screaming, belligerent hecklers ripping apart your holy book – spitting on and stomping on the pages. Imagine being shouted down, and told your faith is a lie by a group of people flashing gaudy, hate-filled signs and matching tee-shirts. This has become the reality for worshipers at the Islamic Community Center of Tempe and many other Muslim places of worship across America.
Most of the Muslim community in America and specially our community in Cypress is unaware of their legal rights under the constitution of United States Of America. To educate our community of their rights and responsibility, CIC with collaboration of CAIR has arranged a seminar
CAIR is America’s largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogs, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.
CAIR believes Islamophobia in the United States is a current manifestation of the issue of prejudice that has plagued our nation since its earliest days. It is the same old hate, just with a relatively new target. American Muslims , With this in mind, CAIR is dedicated to countering prejudice in general.
