The Dallas Islamic Center celebrated the kandil; “Night of Ascension (Laylatul-Mi’raj)” on July 8th, 2010. The date marks the journey of messenger Muhammed (peace be upon him) from Mecca to Jerusalem, and his ascension to the heavens from there within one night. The program started with the recitation of Quran and continued with a talk by Imam Nihat Yesil. Mr. Sabit recited a chapter from Mawlid about the night of ascension. The night ended with a prayer and an iftar dinner.
