The 4th Annual Muslim Unity Day was this past Saturday, August 9 at Six Flags, Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, CA. The amusement park was filled with upwards of 2,500 Muslims, mixing in with the thousands of others that spent the day at the park.
Many organizations participated in Muslim Unity Day, including Islamic bookstores, clothing stores, and even jewelry stores. There was a concert held at the end of the day that featured comedian Imran J. Khan and musical acts SevenEightSix and Five Eighty. To me, the highlight of the concert was when hip hop artist Amir ‘Five Eighty’ Abdul-Shakur serenaded his wife on stage.
Next year marks the 5th anniversary of Muslim Unity Day sponsored by the Muslim Unity Foundation so be sure to keep an eye out for that some time next year, InshAllah.
