"The aim of Qasidas or spiritual odes, of which this manual is a compendium, is to worship Allah, by turning men's hearts to the Divine, who says, 'And when My servants ask you of Me, truly I am close'.

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

Sheikh Nuh Ha Mim Keller (may Allah preserve him)

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.

(For those asking: This account was titled PropheticPraise for the first two years of its existence. The new PropheticPraise page is here: soundcloud.com/propheticpraise. 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.)
