Report Mid North East Regional Ijtema, June 26th 2010
Alhamdulillah, Mid North East Region had a very successful Ijtema on June 26th 2010, at Baitul Hadi Mosque of Central New Jersey Majlis. The theme was: Truthfully Following Allah’s Commandments in the Holy Qur’an. Over 200 Lajna and Nasirat attended the event. For the first time we had three parallel programs: One for the Nasirat, second for the youth (ages 15-25) and the third for older Lajna members. The day started and ended with combined sessions, but for the rest of the day the three groups had their age appropriate and interest orientated programs. Alhamdolillah, this format was really liked and enjoyed by all.

Philadelphia Lajna Shares in Thanksgiving Spirit
The attendees also included some members from Philadelphia Lajna, and a few local guests - there were about 20 altogether. Although a small turnout the content of the program was profound.
Sister Jameela’s speech was very moving; many tears were shed, and questions asked. Sister Naima Latif had visited the site of the slave door exit to board the slave ship displayed in one of the pictures, while traveling in Ghana. She spoke about her feelings on how sad she felt at the cruelty of the owners towards the slaves, and questioned the morality of how they could withstand the screams heard from below their homes where the slaves were kept captive before the ship’s departure. 
A casual stroll one weekend evening into a Panera Bread restaurant laid the foundation of a Food Pantry at Willingboro’s Al Nasr Mosque in New Jersey.
Five Lajna members helped man the front lobby booth and register walk in donors. Our Regional Missionary and Naib Amir Azhar Haneef Sahib spent greater part of the evening with our volunteers. The blood drive started at 12:30 pm and ended at 7:30 pm. A total of 31 units of blood were collected. 
Alhamdulillah!
