Assalamu Alaykum everyone,
I want to share that I will be leading a healing/group circle at Masjid Dar Al-Tawheed tomorrow after Maghrib in Shaa Allah. This is following the attack on March 19, 2022 that took place after Fajr time against the worshippers. What is publicly known is that the individual discharged a bear spray and was wielding an axe at the worshippers who reacted quickly and subdued this person. What is not as widely known is that this individual is an ex-Muslim, full of hate towards Muslims.
This situation runs a close similarity to the ones that took place in New Zealand, Montreal, and London to name a few. For anyone who still believes that Islamophobia is unreal, I would strongly encourage you to consider the following: If hate and shame were not the breeding grounds for the ones who perpetuate such heinous acts, why are they consistently individuals who are silent and function from a place of secrecy?
This sitting will be an opportunity for the community to come together in a manner where open hearts and minds can feel vulnerable, trusted in their lived experiences and be provided psychological safety. Participants will experience the removal of obstacles towards healing, alleviating suffering and deepening our communal capacity to heal through the Quran and Sunnah in Shaa Allah.
Big thank you to for putting this much needed gathering together.
