A Special Message from Shaykh Khalis — Sustain Our Growth & Prepare for Ramadan
It's simple. We need each other.
Dear Beloved Community,
As we near the close of this year, I invite us all to pause and reflect on the extraordinary journey Allah has guided us through. At our center, we have witnessed Allah's profound barakah in every aspect of our work. Each new face at Jumuah, every joyful child in our Little Stewards programs, and every heart moved during our gatherings is a testament to His mercy and the collective spirit of this community.
This year has been one of immense growthnot just in numbers but in the depth of our connection to one another and our Lord. Through the programs, classes, and events, we have seen how a sincere intention to serve can bring forth abundant blessings.
It is a reminder of the Quranic promise: If you are grateful, I will surely increase you (Quran 14:7).
But with growth comes responsibility. The needs of this community continue to expand, and so must our commitment to each other and to the vision of making IIC a beacon of faith and fellowship. As we close this year and prepare for another Ramadana time of spiritual renewal and connectionwe hope to rise to the occasion, ensuring that our collective efforts sow seeds for an even greater impact.
May Allah continue to bless this community, increase us in love and unity, and make IIC a means of guidance and growth for all who pass through its doors. I pray that He multiplies your efforts and rewards you abundantly for your support.
With gratitude and prayers,
Shaykh Khalis Rashaad,
Spiritual Director
