Ramadan Donations Drive:

As in previous Ramadans, we're presenting the community with the opportunity to donate during this month, where spending for the sake of Allah is most valued, Inshallah.  Alhamdulillah, we have several funds to direct your donations to:

• Sadaqa Fund: To help those in need. 

• Zakat Al-Fitr (Fitra) Fund (Minimum: $15/person):  Should be paid as soon as possible, but no later than beginning of Eid al-Fitr prayer. Every adult Muslim who possesses food in excess of his/her needs must pay zakat Al-Fitr (Fitra)). The heads of households can also pay zakat Al-Fitr for their dependents such as children, and relatives

• Capital Projects & Loan  Repayment Fund:  Alhamdulillah, since last Ramadan we have  reduced new property loan balance by $170,000 - (by paying off the remaining seller-financed loan balance of $150,000, and reducing Qard Hasan loan balance by $20,000).   Current loan balance (as of 03/01/2024) consists of  $65,000 Qard Hasan. With Allah's help and our esteemed community members generosity,  we hope to completely payoff the loan by the end of the current holy month of Ramadan,  and move forward to begin process of building the permanent Masjid,  to  accommodate the growing  Muslim Community in the Santa Clarita Valley eastern corridor.
