Dallas and LA Majaalis have recently taken some good and long hikes to encourage their Khudaam the benefits of it. Even the National Amila at a recent meeting event in LA took a good long hike in the nearby San Gabrieal mountains after Fajr prayers. The experience for everyone who participated was physically demanding but it was all worth it because it allows you to understand Allah tala and his creation, and get some fresh air, and experience brotherhood, and burn some calories. So, plan a hike for your local majlis soon and be part of the hiking experience.
An Experience Shared by the LA Majaalis
On January 26th about 25 khuddam gathered at the Bait-U-Hameed Mosque in Chino California to offer congregational Tuhajad prayers at 5:15am. Followed by Fajr and breakfast. The program was to go on a hike at the Los Angelas National Forest Cattle Canyon Trail. Before leaving the khuddam made about 75 sandwiches for their regular weekly food drive and distributed them to the local homeless people. At 9:30am the khuddam set out to the mountain together as a Kafla in 5 cars. The drive was very scenic and enjoyable. Many stops were made on the way to enjoys the beautiful views and to take pictures. At our destination Cattle Canyon Hiking Trail, everyone got their backpacks together, and set out. The hike was 8 miles round trip but unfortunately we had to turn back at 2 miles because of the time. We did not want to get stuck there at night! We would have made it all the way to our destination which ended with The Bridge to Nowhere (literally) but we were enjoying ourselves too much. The challenging river crossing at many places took a while. We offered our namaz and had lunch along the river. Chicken Salad sandwiches. Yum! We left at about 3:30pm back to the mosque to catch Magrib namaz. The drive back was even more beautiful as we rode off into the sunset. After namaz everyone had dinner at a local Thai restaurant. Alhumdullilah the khuddam were very grateful for such a wonderful trip. Here is the link to the video!
