This immersive full-day workshop explores sacred healing, balance, and spiritual alignment through the lens of the Islamic tradition of Hikma. Inspired by Dr. Mazen Atassi’s course, Sacred Medicine: The Sacred Science of Alignment, Balance, and Right Relationship with God, Creation, and the Self, the gathering invites participants to reimagine healing not simply as the treatment of illness, but as the restoration of harmony between the soul, body, mind, community, and the Divine.

Designed for both current and former students of Dr. Mazen’s programs at Cambridge Muslim College and The Hikma Academy — as well as new seekers interested in Islamic approaches to healing and spirituality — this gathering aims to cultivate meaningful learning, reflection, and community connection in an accessible, transformative environment.

Standing up courageously for the truth

This talk was delivered at the Muslim Community Center - East Bay (MCC East Bay) in Pleasanton, California on May 22, 2026.

Why are we here?
This past Monday, three men were killed in a shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego — the largest mosque in San Diego County, attached to a school where dozens of children were in class. Police are investigating the attack as a hate crime.

The three men killed were not strangers to one another, and they were not strangers to the hundreds of families who walk through the doors of that center every week. They were the people who made it run.

We are gathering to mourn the victims of the horrific terror attack on Muslim worshipers in San Diego. Three worshipers were gunned down on Monday, May 18, 2026.

Our response is to express our grief to this senseless act of violence and to show with love that we are stronger than hate, no matter what faith community we belong. We are opposed to hatred, intolerance, and violence in all its forms.

In this interfaith community vigil, we honor the victims from Monday's mass shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego. We remember Amin Abdullah, Mansour Kaziha, and Nadar Awad.

We meet in solidarity and support so that we can together meet the hate that took these three lives with the love needed to extinguish it. People of faith deserve to come together safely and without fear.

We gather as one community in the MCC Prayer Hall to share prayers, reflections, and thoughts. Everyone welcome!
