HADITH

Abu Zaid (viz. Amr b. Akhtab) reported: Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) led us in the dawn prayer and then mounted the pulpit and addressed us until it was (time for the) noon prayer. He then came down the pulpit and observed prayer and then again mounted the pulpit and again addressed us until it was time for the ‘Asr prayer. He then again came down and observed the prayer and again mounted the pulpit and addressed us until the sun was set and he informed (about) everything (pertaining to turmoil) that lay hidden in the past and what lies in (the womb) of) the future and the most learned amongst us is one who remembers them well.

Rescheduling/Delay of MCA Elections to Sept 16 & 17, 2020

MCA Elections Committee Announcement- September 7, 2020

Assalamu Alaikum MCA Members:

The MCA Elections Committee, by majority decision, has decided to reschedule this year’s MCA Elections to Wednesday, September 16 and Thursday, September 17.

As previously announced, after considering all factors and circumstances, receiving input from the community, reviewing all available options and discussing the matter thoroughly, the MCA Elections Committee, by majority decision, decided to conduct and hold exclusively online voting for the 1442 Hijri (2020-2021) MCA Election. All members will be considered absentee in this year’s election and will only be able to vote online. The MCA Elections were originally to take place via an online ballot on September 11, September 12 and September 13, 2020.

Given the unique circumstances in our community, namely the Covid-19 pandemic and the closure of the MCA facility, and given that this is the first time the MCA Elections would be held online, the MCA Elections Committee sought to vet all available online voting programs to ensure that our elections would be accessible and secure for all voters and produce uncompromised results in a timely manner that the community could have confidence in.

After significant research and conversations, the MCA Elections Committee has contracted with and retained the service of ElectionBuddy.com, a company that has run over 40,000 elections, to run a secure, anonymous, high integrity election for the MCA this year.

In order to have the necessary contact information from all MCA members to vote, to set up the process with the people at ElectionBuddy.com and to ensure the availability of ElectionBuddy.com staff to manage, facilitate and troubleshoot our election process, the MCA Elections Committee determined that this year’s elections should take place on the weekdays of Wednesday, September 16 and Thursday, September 17 as opposed to weekend days, as originally scheduled, when the ElectionBuddy.com staff would have limited capacity to manage our election.

These selected dates, which fall on the 28th and 29th of Muharram, still fall within the timeframes for the MCA election dictated by Article XII, Section 1 of the MCA Constitution that require the elections to be held between the tenth and the end of Muharram.

We are also aware of Section 7 of Article XII of the MCA Constitution which notes that “The exact time of the elections shall be announced by the Election Committee at least four weeks before the election.” However, given that we are moving the elections back and not forward, the vast discretion afforded to the MCA Elections Committee in setting the parameters of absentee balloting (as noted previously all members will be considered absentee in this year’s election), and the unique circumstances of the this year’s elections, we pray that we are still abiding by both the spirit and letter of MCA Constitutional mandates.

Please contact us with any questions or concerns. Sincerely, MCA Election Committee Members: ● Sajid A. Khan (Chair) ● Altaf Khan ● Marwa Ahmed ● Christy Chase ● Khandaker Aza

The Umayyad established in 661 lasted for about a century. During this time became the capital of an Islamic world which stretched from the western borders of China to southern France.

Not only did the Islamic conquests continue during this period through North Africa to Spain and France in the West and to Sind, Central Asia and Transoxiana in the East, but the basic social and legal institutions of the newly founded Islamic world were established.

11 Disaster Relief - Pakistan Floods

Situation Overview Heavy monsoon rains have once again caused devastation in Pakistan, killing more than 130 people and destroying thousands of homes. Intense monsoon downpour, including nearly 9 inches in just one day, has paralyzed the megacity of Karachi among other places throughout the region. Flash flooding took down many homes and businesses and the standing contaminated water is affecting tens of millions of people.

Hidaya Trust (Hidaya Foundation’s partner organization in Pakistan) has a strong infrastructure of over 300 team members across 8 district operation offices, and is active year round with nearly thirty projects and experienced in providing disaster relief throughout the country over the past 20+ years.

Please donate Zakat and Sadaqah towards the disaster relief and ongoing assistance of the region.
