IMPORTANT: End-of-Year Fundraiser

 


 

Join us in fulfilling a vital need for our community! Last year, your generous contributions helped secure new land. This year, we aim to take the next step by not only establishing a community graveyard, providing a dignified and sacred resting place for our loved ones in accordance with Islamic traditions, but also renovating existing structures to create spaces for future events.

We invite you and your family to a fundraiser on Sunday, December 15th, after Isha @6:45 PM, dedicated to building and improving this vital resource. Donate generously and leave a lasting impact on our community. Dinner will be served.

 

IMPORTANT: Immigration Rights Information Sessions

 

Session 1: Saturday, December 14th @ 1:00 PM
Session 2: Saturday, January 4th @ 1:00 PM

In these crucial times of rapid immigration policy changes, each session will cover vital information to protect you and your family. Learn about your rights and protections as a permanent US resident, including what to do if ICE appears at your workplace or home. We will discuss preparation for worst-case scenarios, including what family members need to do if a parent is detained and faces deportation. Topics will cover urgent matters such as securing power of attorney, establishing guardianship for children, and maintaining access to your bank accounts and property. General immigration information and family petitions will also be discussed.

Both sessions will cover identical information - you only need to attend one session.

The sessions are open to all immigration statuses including legal permanent residents, asylees, refugees, parolees, and US citizens planning family petitions. Live translation services will be available to ensure all participants can fully engage in the session.

IMPORTANT: All attendees MUST complete the registration form for accurate headcount. Please select which session you will attend in the registration form:

NOTE: This session provides general educational information only. Individual cases will not be discussed.

Halaqa on Saturday @7:00 PM

Our weekly series, "The Last Messenger," continues this week with its thirteenth episode in sha Allah. Snacks will be provided after the halaqa. The episode will be streamed on Facebook Live, and participants can ask questions in the chat or relay their questions to this email or this number (4344008232). 

Join us this Saturday, December 7th @ 7:00 PM, right after Ishaa, in sha Allah.
