About Event

The MBF Summit

The Men-Brothers-Fathers (MBF) Summit is an annual retreat of Masjid Mumineen, Houston, TX with a target audience of youths aged 13 - 18 (middle and high schoolers), adults and elders. Now in its eighteenth year, it is designed not only to bring us together and celebrate our brotherhood, but also to educate members, who are mostly African-American and African Immigrants on their religion as well as their roles as brothers, husbands and fathers. The focus is built around Social Mobility, Spiritual Upliftment, and Career Advancement.

This year's theme is "Faith, Family and Future - 3Fs"
