Spring Camps 2024 - Journey After Death
The Journey After Death theme will take a deep dive into what happens after we leave this world. Inspired by Sheikh Omar Suleiman's Judgment Day series, we’ll explore the stages of the soul’s journey. We’ll cover death, the grave, the Day of Judgment, and our eternal home. This theme connects to the Hadith of the Prophet SAW: “Be in this world as though you were a stranger or a traveler.” (Sahih al-Bukhari). It’s a reminder that this life is temporary and our real goal is what comes next. While some parts of this topic might feel heavy, we’ll also focus on Allah’s mercy, the rewards of the righteous, and the hope that comes with striving to be better. This camp will be about understanding the hereafter while learning how to live a meaningful and purposeful life today.

Use the God Given Energy From The Sun
Save money* and the environment
The energy use for Masajid/Islamic Centers is among the main operational costs. Installing solar panels can help provide economic and environmental benefits. The cost of solar panel installation has decreased considerably. It is also a good investment with the Inflation Reduction Clean energy tax credits of 30%. The money saved can be used for other important projects*.?
Included is the “Fact Sheet" from EESI explaining the Tax credits. It is noted that a 30% rebate is also available for the installation of solar panels on your own property. It is a good time to utilize this incentive for saving money and helping the environment. The cost of electricity for households is likely to increase in the future.
