Zakat ul-Fitr
Zakat-ul-Fitr (also called Fitrana or Sadaqa-ul-Fitr) is a compulsory act of charity that all Muslims must pay at the end of Ramadan. The purpose of this payment is to act as a purification of the fasting from useless and obscene talk and allow those in poverty to take part in Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations.
Zakat-ul-Fitr amount this year is $15 per person.
2024 ICCWG Itikāf Signup
Insha Allah, the Islamic Cultural Center of Willow Grove will be open to for the Sunnah Itikāf (18+ only) in the last 10 days of Ramadan. Signup is required. Please go through MSDV Itikaf policy document and then fill out this form and a staff member will reach out to you.
