The weekly webinar on Parenting is held live every Saturday at 6:00 p.m. on virtual networks such as Zoom, YouTube, and Facebook. However, exceptionally this week it was held at 5:00 pm due to a coincidence with the Maghrib prayer.

“Fusing Taqwa in the Hearts of Children Through Fasting in the Holy Month of Ramadhan”
This meeting, addressed by HIWM Sheikh Agha Mehdi Ali, spoke for 45 minutes on the subject of the meeting.
Sheikh Agha Mehdi Ali comes from a humble family of momineen from the city of Hyderabad, India where he went to school in a 200-year-old missionary school by St Georges Grammar School. He earned his BS in Mechanical Engineering from University in 1991 and came to the USA as a student pursuing MS in engineering. He earned his MS in Automation engineering in 1994 and started working for Silicon Systems which was later acquired by Texas Instruments.

Before returning to the USA he had the honour of establishing a full-time English medium school in the holy city of Qum by the name of Tawhid and also establishing a research institute and they are still running up to date and have grown exponentially.
He returned to the USA in November 2010 in the capacity of RA for a small community in New Jersey. After spending a year in NJ he moved to Maryland to serve as head of Islamic Studies in a full-time Islamic school and served there for the next 3 years.
