Activities At Middle Ground

Fajr Club

Every Saturday Middle Ground members gather for prayer and breakfast. We start the morning with Fajr Salah and then break bread with one another. It’s a great opportunity to get to know other members in the community as well as treat yourself to Shaykh Chef’s (Imam Marc!!) famous coffee and breakfast. Current iqamah time is 5:15AM. Front door code is 3923 and the rear entrance code is 0719*. Imam Marc’s Understanding the Qur’ān class follows. Currently, the class is on the Fifth Chapter of the Qur’ān, Sūrah al-Mā’idah.

*Note: this will be the last Understanding the Qur’ān Session until after Ramadan.

Current start time is 7AM.

Understanding the Qur’an

After Fajr Club on Saturdays, Imam Marc teaches Understanding the Qur’an. This course explores such topics as tafsīr, ‘aqīdah (theology and creed), fiqh (jurisprudence), as well as insights into the Arabic language. The class also explores how we might understand Revelation in light of our culture as Americans.

Currently the class is on the Fifth Chapter of the Qur’ān, Sūrah al-Mā’idah, through such works by al-Sa’dī, Ibn Juzayy, al-Ṭabarī, and al-Qurṭubī and others.
