Ramadan Event, The Nights of Qadr

🕒 March 8, 10 & 12, 2026 | 6:45-11:00 PM

📍MIT Student Center

Speaker: Dr. Sadik Kassim
Lecture: "Bread, Dates, Coffee and the Nights of Qadr"

Abstract:
An exploration of how three foods fuel spiritual life and connect to Laylat al-Qadr. Bread—humanity’s oldest prepared food at 14,400 years—represents transformation and wholeness. Dates, “the bread of the desert,” sweeten the breaking of fast and are among the most sustaining foods of humanity. Coffee sustains the night prayer when destiny is written. These lectures reveal how ordinary foods become sacred through worship, tracing bread’s ancient origins, dates in Quranic revelation, and coffee’s role in Islamic devotion—where humanity’s table meets heaven’s night.

🔹 This year, our Nights of Qadr come during a time of many challenges, emotions, and stress for our community. We will dedicate all of our programs to acknowledging these struggles while coming together in prayer, reflection, and support for one another.

As we gather for worship, let us keep everyone in our thoughts and prayers, asking for patience, strength, healing, and peace for our community and for all those who are facing hardship.

Please note that two rooms have been reserved for the event. One room can be used for other activities and for children and parents to stay in if they wish, while the main event takes place in the other room.
