It's simple. We need each other.
Dear Beloved Community Member,
As we are in the blessed month of Ramadan, a time of reflection, prayer, and communal solidarity, we reach out to you with a heartfelt appeal. Our Ramadan fundraiser is underway, with a goal of raising $250,000. These funds are vital for supporting underprivileged families, enhancing community services, increasing rent, making repairs and upgrades, and developing educational programming.
In the spirit of giving that defines this holy month, we are reminded of the teachings of Imm Al-Ghazali, who beautifully highlighted the inner dimensions of charity. He taught that giving is not just a physical act but a reflection of our inner state, purifying our souls and bringing us closer to the divine. This perspective invites us to view our contributions not just as aid, but as a spiritual investment in our collective future.
The Holy Quran extols the virtues of charity and sadaqa, stating, "The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills." (Quran, 2:261). This verse beautifully encapsulates the abundant rewards awaiting those who give for the sake of Allah.
Prophet Muhammad exemplified unmatched generosity, especially during Ramadan, reminding us that our giving should know no bounds during this holy month.
We understand that many worthy causes seek your support, and we are deeply grateful to be considered among them. Regardless of size, every contribution makes a significant difference and brings us closer to our collective goal.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to give back during Ramadan. May Allah reward you abundantly, accept your fasts and prayers and elevate your status in this life and the hereafter.
Warm regards,
IIC Community Leadership Team
