Following Salat al-Isha, dinner was served for all attendees, bringing the program to a successful conclusion.

Community members expressed appreciation for the initiative and enthusiasm for future gatherings. Organizers said MUNA Youth plans to hold similar programs in the area on a monthly basis, with hopes of eventually establishing Newark as an official sub-chapter in the future.
