EFFORTS & INITIATIVES
Eid al-Adha Picnic
Assalamu Alaikum and a belated Eid al-Adha Mubarak to our wonderful community!
Last Sunday, ISAK celebrated the joyous occasion of Eid al-Adha with a community picnic, a time when families of all ethnicities, backgrounds, and cultures came together in celebration and in remembrance of Prophet Ibrahims (AS) strong faith and commitment to Allah (SWT). This holiday served as a reminder to strive to always stay on the straight path, no matter the sacrifice, as He is the All-Knowing, the Most Compassionate, and the Most Merciful.
Despite the rain, the community lit up with smiles, engaged in festivities, and enjoyed the thoughtfully prepared food and meat contributed by our community members. Jazakum Allahu Khairan to the various Arab, Desi, and Uzbeki communities for their generous food contributions, and to everyone who joined and brought desserts to share!

Tell Cuyahoga County Council - No More Money for Genocide!
Sign the Petition: bit.ly/cccbreakthebonds
Cuyahoga County is one of the largest investors in Israel Bonds in the United States, with a $16 million portfolio. This investment stands out as it is the only instance where local tax dollars are directly allocated to a foreign government. These funds could otherwise be utilized for significant local improvements, such as health, education, housing, food security, and environmental initiatives in Greater Cleveland. If you live in Cuyahoga County, sign this petition!
