Muslim Mindful Moment
Surah 3 Ayat 29-30
Family of Imran Verses 29-30
[3.29] Say: Whether you hide what is in your hearts or manifest it, Allah knows it, and He knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and Allah has power over all things.
[3.30] On the day that every soul shall find present what it has done of good and what it has done of evil, it shall wish that between it and that were a distance very long; and he warns you all, does Allah, of His punishment, but Allah is also Compassionate to the servants.
Surah 5 Ayah 8 Qur'aan Kareem

POWAB Welcomes
New Member
Cheryl Richardson
As a native of Washington, D.C., I have been involved with community activities that enhance the lives of others most of my life. Therefore, after attending one POWAB meeting, I knew it was inevitable that I would be an active member of POWAB. Initially, I would like to serve on the Senior Committee. Seniors are the most vulnerable and most valuable members of our communities. I look forward to working with this incredible team. Thank you for the opportunity to learn, serve, share, and create transformative outcomes in this geographical area.
