The Most Important Thing Is The Link Between The Creator and His Slave... All Else Are Details.

An archive of the Chicago Mawlid Committee's gatherings. 
~ ~ ~
CMC was founded with the sole purpose of remembering and honoring the Prophet, may peace and blessings be upon him. God-willing, CMC will organize and present a Mawlid every month. By presenting a Mawlid every month, as well as other events, we can try to keep the love for the Prophet, may Peace and Blessings be upon him, alive and flowing in Chicago’s vibrant Muslim Community.

Come celebrate! Your presence honors us and the gathering as we all join in the feast of souls. Experience devoted munshideen, learned scholars, a revival of tradition, and love of the Prophet, may peace and blessings be upon him, that is rare to find.

In the speed of modern-day life, it is important to stop and remember the one who will intercede on our behalf on the Day of Judgement, when there where will be no intercession except his, the one who prayed for us before we were born, the one who is the link between this Finite and the Infinite worlds, and the one whose uncreated word of God was revealed to his heart.

Muslims all over the world gather regularly to remember and celebrate the Prophet, may peace and blessings be upon him. This time-honored tradition is an enormous celebration in many Muslim countries and an amazing opportunity to show and teach our children and families how to love and respect the Prophet, may peace and blessings be upon him. The Chicago Mawlid Committee seeks to bring that same celebration for all to experience and taste right here in Chicago.

Both are dedicated to loving and honoring the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings on him, but as of January 2014, this one is now exclusive to CMC's wonderful content.)

Training the next generation of Muslim thinkers.

A multimedia, multi-faith publication about the ideas that shape the modern world from the first Muslim liberal arts college in the United States, Zaytuna College.

A resource for traditional qasidas (poems, odes), naats and nasheeds taken from around the world, most of which are written by various spiritual masters of the sacred path of sufism (tassawuf - the Islamic science of spirituality).

'The aim of qasidas or spiritual odes is to worship the creator, by turning the hearts to the Divine, who says 'And when My servants ask you of Me, truly I am close' (Quran 2:186).

The purpose of qasidas in the Sufi path is to convey the experiential gnosis of forebears to subsequent generations, for what comes from the heart goes into the heart, and most of the poets who wrote them where Shaykhs of the spiritual paths (tariqa) who addressed their words to those with experiences like themselves or to aspirants.

The person who can benefit from such qasidas is someone whose way lies with the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), and whose heart lies with Allah'

The Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said:

“Truly, in some poetry, there is wisdom.” [Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud]

The fourth full-length from BROODS, Space Island is an exploration of grief and all its many dimensions. In keeping with the New Zealand-bred duo’s unfettered imagination—an element they’ve brought to multiple platinum-and gold-certified records so far—the album’s 10 tracks exist in a surprisingly radiant sonic realm, its aesthetic equally inspired by ’60s sci-fi B-movies and the balmy exotica of composers like Les Baxter.The most high-concept output yet from BROODS—a ten-time New Zealand Music Award-winning act who’ve amassed over a billion streams to date, collaborated with the likes of Lorde and Tove Lo, toured with HAIM and Taylor Swift, and taken the stage at major festivals such asCoachella and Lollapalooza—Space Island came to life during a period of serious upheaval for lead vocalist Georgia Nott. Having married at the age of 21, she went through a difficult divorce soon after the release of BROODS’ previous album Don’t Feed the Pop Monster(a 2019 effort that led to appearances on“Late Night with Seth Meyers” and“The Late Late Show with James Corden”). As Georgia turned to songwriting as a means of processing her grief, she and her brother/bandmate Caleb Nott discovered an unlikely but wholly fitting vessel for that emotional outpouring: the album’s gorgeous constellation of otherworldly beats, swooning guitar tones, and effervescent synth lines. As a result, Space Island introduces a dazzling new intensity into BROODS’ atmospheric indie-pop while providing a powerful conduit for catharsis.
