Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."
[Al-Saff: 6]
Words of Wisdom
As Muslims we need to review our perspective of Eesa .We believe that He was among the greatest of Messengers .We believe in the miraculous birth and the exalted and high status of Maryam .We believe Eesa spoke in the cradle as a baby, performed miracles by Allah's permission, and always called people to worship Allah. He informed the people about the Prophet Muhammad .We don't believe that he was killed or crucified, but he was raised to Allah and will be sent down before the Day of Judgment, as mentioned in the hadith. We pray to Allah to allow us to see truth as truth and give us the ability to follow it and allow us to see falsehood as falsehood and give us the ability to stay away from it. Ameen.
Hadeeth of the Day
''Isa, son of Maryam (as), willdescend at the white minaret in the eastern side of Damascus, wearing two garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two Angels. When he lowers his head, beads of perspiration will fall from his head, and when he raises them, beads like pearls will scatter from them.

On behalf of ICNY, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the people of Palestine who are enduring horrifying acts of aggression under occupation. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have lost their lives, those who are grieving the loss of loved ones, and those who have suffered immeasurable hardships. May Allah alleviate their suffering and grant them strength during this period of recovery.
ICNY remains unwavering in our commitment to assist the people of Gaza. We have joined forces with Helping Hand USA to launch a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $10,000 for immediate aid to those in distress. We urge everyone to contribute generously for the sake of Allah (SWT). Every dollar can make a significant impact, especially during this critical time of need.
