As salaamu alaikum

Friday Night Family Halaqah
 

The Friday Night Family Halaqah has resumed! Join us every Friday for this much-loved community gathering with Imam Zakaria Abdilaziz! It's the perfect way to end the week - surrounded by family, faith, and uplifting reminders.

The halaqah will take place every Friday after Asr prayer in Hall B, and its open to everyone in the family - from kids to grandparents! After the halaqah, stick around for some fun and connection with basketball in the gym and refreshments to enjoy with your fellow community members.

Lets come together to learn, grow, and strengthen our bonds as a community. We cant wait to see you there, insha Allah!

We'll also be sharing a delicious meal together, so bring your appetite and your smile!

ICC Funeral Financial Support Services

ICC is now offering a full funeral financial support program. This program will help members of our community cover the high cost of funerals. 
Today, funeral costs between $6000-$7000, which can be very difficult for families to pay. The FFSS program allows the community to come together and help each other cover this cost. 
Please visit our website for forms, and full details on how the program works. Application packages are also available at the office.
