Celebrating the Mawlid of Imam Al-Reza (A.S.)
Join the Swansea community at the Imam Al-Khoei Centre for a special evening dedicated to the Mawlid (birth anniversary) of Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Reza (A.S.). Under the guidance and supervision of Sheikh Al-Alamah Ismail Al-Khaleeq, we gather to reflect on the life of the Eighth Imam and his profound contributions to Islamic thought and community building.
Event Theme: Building Our Future Together
In line with the recent community initiatives led by Sheikh Ismail Al-Khaleeq, this celebration focuses on the Imam's legacy as a "Community Builder." As we celebrate this joyous occasion, we aim to discuss the best ways of serving our community and, most importantly, protecting the future of our children. We invite all families—including those with children and grandchildren—to attend, regardless of whether they currently attend the local school, as we strive to ensure our community remains a place of growth and righteousness.
