وَلَا تَهِنُواْ وَلَا تَحْزَنُواْ وَأَنتُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَوْنَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Do not lose heart nor grieve; for you shall surely rise if you are (truly) believers

Testimonials

“I am very likely to invite friends and family to the next MAC Convention because of the relevance of the content and the goal of transforming our community members into active makers of change.”
- Firstname
“I love the MAC Convention [more than RIS], it’s [a lot more] authentic masha’Allah. It delves into contemporary issues fearlessly e.g. Islamic perspective on homosexuality, social justice, etc. Little to no time spent on promotions of sponsors, the breakout [parallel] sessions allow for a discussion and a Q&A which enhances learning. And I appreciate that there is also programming in Arabic and French.”
