“The believers are but one brotherhood, so make peace between your brothers, and be mindful of Allah so that you may be shown mercy.” — Qur'an 49:10

Ramadan is a time to prioritize not just individual reflection and spiritual growth, but also unity and togetherness with others! Join us for an unforgettable evening of bonding and camaraderie with members of your family and your brethren in the NWMI community. 

We will begin with an exuberant Game Night—  come prepared for laughter, silliness, and some healthy competition as you go head-to-head against other families all vying for the grand prize.

After communal prayer and a delicious iftar, we will shift our focus to spiritual connectedness under the stars and around a campfire. Khalil Ismail, an award-winning artist and D.C. native, will transport the audience to the desert of Arabia where Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was raised. Through song, storytelling, and reflection, he will help the audience connect more deeply with the life of the Prophet and relate that to our current charge as Muslims.

We look forward to spending an evening in brotherhood with you! Registration is required and space is limited.


Khalil Ismail is a creative director and award-winning independent artist and producer. He is the founder and manager of KI Creative Studios, which recently launched its new film directing component. Born in Washington, D.C. and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, Khalil was inspired from childhood to use creativity and grassroots initiatives to address the often harsh realities of life.
