Relief Projects and Information   

   Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people in all of the communities affected.

"My mercy encompasses all things, but I will specify it for the righteous who give charity (Zakat)"   
                       Quran 7:156.

    Charity or Zakat  represents the unbreakable bond between members of the community, whom Prophet Mohammad described to be "like the organs of the body, if one suffers then all others rally in response."

   Charity or Zakat in Islam means grow (in goodness) or 'increase', 'purifying' or 'making pure'. The Quran encourages the Muslims to donate their funds: 'the likeness of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah, is as the likeness of a grain that sprouts seven spikes. In every spike there are 100 grains, and Allah multiplies for whom He will' (Quaran 2:261). Giving charity is thereby is seen as a means to multiply one's fortune and income in terms of spiritual observance.
