With the help of Allah (SWT) and your generous donations, we are fostering a beautiful Muslim community in the greater Akron area. Our center continues to offer numerous programs and services, make necessary capital improvements, and incur fixed costs in staff salaries, utilities, and routine maintenance work. With your financial support during the upcoming fundraiser, we hope to cover the operational expenses for the current fiscal year and undertake additional capital improvement initiatives, inshAllh.

May we find Laylat al-Qadr in the last 10 nights of Ramadan, and may all our acts of worship and charity be multiplied manifold.

See you at the fundraiser, inshAllh!

Sincerely,
