Nueces Mosque and the Islamic Center of Brushy Creek cordially invite you to join us for an uplifting halaqa given by the one and only Sheikh Yassir Fazaga. In the first of a series of community-wide halaqas, Sheikh Yassir will be addressing the question, "Are we happy with who we are?" And if not, how to overcome our challenges and be content with who we are.

We look forward to seeing you! This event is open to THE WHOLE COMMUNITY, so please do not hesitate to share the event with peers, friends, and colleagues. Also please hit "going" if you plan on attending!

*Ligh refreshments will be served.*
