MCA Youth Committee Contact: youth@mcabayarea.org ; 408-727-7277 ext 444. Halaqa Leaders Contact: youthhalaqa@mcabayareaorg Love Your Masjid By Amanah Khalid A shining light for all to see, A symbol of truth through eternity. A place of worship for divinity, A symbol of strength to the community. The place to unite and prayer together, Rush too quickly regardless of weather. I m too busy to go.. Say this never, Venture often to and at least endeavour. Its doors are open, people go inside, For all are welcome and in peace reside. No raised voices of anger for you to collide, Good etiquette and Manners you must abide. Our beloved Mosque and second home, A place were one will never feel alone. Hear the Azan echo throughout its dome, Love in our eyes we could never disown. However, to your Mosque when did you go last? Do you go yearly only to open fast? Is it just a place you often pass? A place you once went, but a place of the past? Our Mosques are standing half empty, No longer a place of plenty, Yet it s ours for free, no charge for entry, An issue we should approach firm but gently. Strength in Islam, we find in each other, Simply through meeting a new sister or brother. More then we know we need one another, Just as a child seeks love from the mother. The Mosque is the perfect place to meet, And invite new Muslims to our holy retreat. Don't gather and chat lowly on the street, Come into the Mosque make your obligation complete. Lead by example; take your family by the hand, Guide them to the straight path of the Promised Land. Perform Salat at Mosque follow Allah s command, Show the world our faith is glorious and grand. Go to Mosque and be amongst those who care, Go to Mosque and your knowledge share. Go to Mosque and learn from others there, And Inshallah make it full, I ll see you there!

For KidZone info, or to submit a writing, email mcakidzone@gmail.com The Badshahi Mosque,or the 'Emperor's Mosque', was built in 1673 by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzab in Lahore, Pakistan. It is one of the city's best known landmarks, and a major tourist attraction epitomizing the beauty and grandeur of the Mughal era. Capable of accommodating over 55,000 worshipers, it is the second largest mosque in Pakistan, after the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad. The architecture and design of the Badshahi Masjid is closely related to the Jama Masjid in Delhi, India, which was built in 1648 by Aurangzeb's father and predecessor, emperor Shah Jahan. Like the character of its founder, the mosque is bold, vast and majestic in its expression. It was the largest mosque in the world for a long time. The interior has rich embellishment in stucco tracery (Manbatkari) and paneling with a fresco touch, all in bold relief, as well as marble inlay. The exterior is decorated with stone carving as well as marble inlay on red sandstone, specially of loti form motifs in bold relief. The embellishment has Indo-Greek, Central Asian and Indian architectural influence both in technique and motifs.

Park Legally in Designated Parking Locations Only MCA administration continues to receive complaints from our neighbors regarding illegal parking on their properties. While it may seem convenient, it is irresponsible and unethical besides being illegal to park on our neighboring properties at any time unless MCA has a prior agreement to use their lots. In addition to MCA s own parking areas and street parking in the vicinity, MCA has made arrangements with two of our neighbors who have graciously allowed MCA patrons with free parking in their lots on Fridays. Vanguard Parking: 12 noon-2 pm Fridays, More Décor Parking: 12 noon-2 pm Fridays In MCA s assessment there are over 700 parking spots in and around the MCA building including MCA, Vanguard, More Décor and street parking. This is plenty of parking for the two scheduled prayer sessions on Fridays. Please follow the guidelines below for continued success of MCA: 1. DO NOT park illegally at any time 2. Try to Car pool on Fridays 3. Use public transportation when possible 4. Clear parking areas quickly after first Juma prayers 5. Arrive early and avoid the rush 6. Park legally even if you have to take a long walk. You may complete your prayers if you miss the congregation 7. Report offenders to MCA Management It is imperative that everybody who comes to MCA abides by the guidelines and regulations. MCA has zero tolerance policy for non-compliance and will be towing all illegally parked vehicles at owner's expenses.
