Speakers:

8pm

Venue:
Hillside Islamic Center


Men, women, love, emotion, and passion. What exactly is Islam's take on love? Is love haram or halal? Is it something you fall into or grow into? The society we live in gives us a perception of what "love" is supposed to be and where it is supposed to be sought. Is it the right perception? How can we control our natural desires in this society that we live in? On Saturday, February 16th after Ishaa prayer at Hillside Islamic Center 271-01 80th Ave Queens, NY 11004 both Brothers and Sisters are welcome to come and get an insight into love in Islam.
