The Sunday Breakfast Hangout is a recent event at ICBC.  Following Fajr prayer every Sunday, the masjid offers a sumptuous breakfast which is well attended by brothers and sisters.  This program allows us to not just worship together but also get to know each other and build bonds of brotherhood/sisterhood in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

This is an exciting and entertaining yet informative program that is held on the last Friday of every month.

ICBC community has members from over 25 countries.  In this program, one country is featured every month and members from the respective country do a presentation on their country, with an emphasis on Islam and Muslims.

Countries presented so far—Senegal, Indonesia, Nigeria, Iraq, Yemen, Jordan, Sudan, Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, Bangladesh, Syria, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Algeria, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Ethiopia, Palestine, Pakistan, and Somalia.
