THIS WEEK: Zakat-ul-Fitr collection | Sponsor our Iftars! 🥘
Dar-us-Salaam | Ramadan 1445 / 2024
Asalaamu-alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,
Zakat-ul-Fitr isn’t about money—it’s about community.
The Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ï·º was to give Zakat-ul-Fitr as staple food items to local families in need, so that they can enjoy Eid with the rest of us.
Zakat-ul-Fitr Collection
At Dar-us-Salaam, we have been reviving the spirit of this act of worship. We collect food from the community in the large bins at Dar-us-Salaam, and we also collect money which we use to purchase staple food items.
Zakat-ul-Fitr collection is this week from Friday, March 29 to Tuesday, April 2. Drop off your food items in the bins provided near the entrance of Al-Huda School any time between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.!
Address: 5301 Edgewood Road, College Park, MD 20740
Zakat-ul-Fitr Distribution
Our volunteers drive to homes across the local area and hand deliver the Zakat-ul-Fitr to families in need in a discrete, honorable way, by leaving bags of food outside their front door. Dar-us-Salaam’s Social Services team Ansaar-ul-Birr calls or texts each family to inform them that their food has been delivered.
Sign up HERE to volunteer to distribute Zakat-ul-Fitr and revive the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ï·º with DUS!
Sponsor Iftars
We also have Community Iftars onsite every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday throughout Ramadan. Sponsor an Iftar and get double the rewards of fasting!
May Allah grant you a successful ending to this blessed month!
Jazakum Allahu Khairan
