On Sunday, March 5, 2017, thousands of people will come together to raise awareness and funds to help fight hunger in our community. Our team will be there – and we need your support!

Hunger Walk/Run is one of the most important hunger relief efforts of the year. The money we raise will feed hope for the 1 in 5 people who face hunger in our community.

Please join us in supporting this important mission! You can help us reach our team fundraising goal by making a donation on behalf of the entire team or a specific team member. Or take the next step against hunger by walking/running with us on March 5.

Together, we can make sure that a child in our community doesn’t go to bed hungry tonight. We can offer a glimmer of hope to struggling parents desperately trying to make ends meet for their family. We can ensure another senior citizen isn’t forced to choose between paying for medicine or food.  

Thank you so much, and we hope to see you at the Hunger Walk/Run! Click here to participate: http://bit.ly/2kgjdw1

We will be having a Burial Will Workshop on Sunday, Jan 29 at 11:15 am at the second floor library. We will explain the process that takes place after a person's death and will go over the simple Burial Will that will be completed during the workshop. A notary will be present on site who will help complete the document. 

Please attend to complete the will for free. This is especially important if you are the only Muslim in your family or you do not have any other family in town. However, all Muslims are encouraged to have this document completed to ensure we are able to perform Islamic rites such as ghusl, janazah and burial in an Islamic cemetery if someone was to pass away. 

Note: The burial will only describes what must take place after a person's death in terms of the preparation of the body and burial. It does not contain any inheritance information.

Please try to attend the janazah of Br. Saeed Muhammad Abu Bakr (Stanley M. Browne) on Thursday (1/19) after dhuhr salah at Al-Farooq Masjid at 2pm. He has no Muslim family members and has been attending classes at our masjid for several years. May Allah (swt) forgive him and grant him Jannatul Firdous. إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعون

To celebrate Al-Farooq Masjid's 5th year in feed the homeless program which takes place every other week - we are distributing winter care packages to the homeless on January 22.
