The Annual Family Gathering hosted by Jannatul Ferdous Masjid is a cherished event designed to bring our community together for a night of unity, inspiration, and joy. This yearly program is not just a celebration of family and togetherness, but also a vital opportunity to support the programs and initiatives that make our masjid a hub of spiritual growth and community service.
What Is the Annual Family Gathering?
The Annual Family Gathering is a special evening filled with activities, food, and spiritual enrichment for families and individuals in our community. It is a chance to reflect on the past year, celebrate our achievements, and look forward to the future of our masjid.
Each year, we invite a renowned guest speaker or imam to share valuable insights and deliver an inspiring dawah session. These sessions are tailored to uplift our faith, provide actionable Islamic guidance, and strengthen our connection to Allah and our community. The event is also an opportunity to hear updates about the mosque’s activities and future plans, ensuring transparency and engagement with our congregation.
