End 2023 with more rewards!
Become a Sustainer to the house of Allah
Assalaam Alaikum Dear Beloved Community,
As 2023 draws to a close, please dont miss this opportunity to help raise the profile of Islam in your community, by sustaining your masajid.
The last three months have shown the importance of having Muslim institutions with presence and scale that support our community in difficult times. The volunteers and small team at ISB have been working tirelessly to serve our community and ensure its voice is heard. ISBs long standing relationship with neighboring Jewish and Christian congregations in Cambridge allowed us to take the lead in issuing a joint statement and hosting a tremendously successful Interfaith dinner, attended by nearly 100 neighbors, focused on creating dialogue around peace and hope, founded on justice.
We engaged with city, state and federal officials defending our rights here and in supporting the people of Palestine as they face cruelty, oppression and forced displacement.
So far this year, ISBCC hosted over 40 tours, with nearly 750 visitors, from schools and universities, from churches and synagogues within Massachusetts and other states to show Islam. Furthermore, we expanded our Daawa by going to educational institutions and presenting our religion. Over 100 new reverts declared their Shahada, including growing numbers of students.
The masajid need constant attention. Just this week, we have bills for over $25,000, including new leaks from the dome at ISBCC, and new heat pumps in Cambridge. We are also planning to replace carpets this year at an estimated cost of $35,000.
Please consider supporting your Masajid by becoming a monthly sustainer if you are not one already, or making a one-time donation today!
ISB can also accept donations of appreciated stock. There are tax advantages when you do so:
-
You can deduct the market value of the stock at time of donation as a charitable contribution on your tax return.
-
By donating stocks that have appreciated, you are actually giving more than if you sold them and then made a cash donation, due to avoiding capital gains taxes.
-
ISB does not pay any tax when it sells the donated stocks, which makes your donation more impactful.

Thank you for your confidence and trust in ISB and may the Almighty bless you, your family and our ummah.
With sincere gratitude,
The team at Islamic Society of Boston
