What Mothers Need to Know

What Mother Needs to Know This gathering is for mothers who are (1) seeking marriage for their son or daugther or (2) their son or daugther is engaged, thinking about proposals, or already recently married. We will have acitivies and discussion in a casual, comfortable environment. The purpose of this get together is to share tips, advice, and practical solutions on guiding your child through the early stages of marriage and through the pre-maritial phases. Communication to our young adults is the key. While parents may have very useful advice, it is often discarded by the child because of the way the advice was delivered. It is important that sons and daugthers approaching marriage trust their parents advice and feel their parents relate to their perspectives on marriage when marriage matters come up. This is less liekly to happen if the child feels their parent understands them, the culture they were raised in, and can appreciate culutral and generational differences. We need our young adults to receive healthy, relatable, practical marriage advice on how to deal with marital challenges before they come up or simple guidance on selecting the proper spouse. Parents- We kindly request that you do not attend with your son or daugther. We want to encourage open, honest and judgement-free, discussion.

What Every Girl Needs to Know- Tips, Advice for Marriage

This gathering is for young women who are seeking marriage, engaged, thinking about proposals, or already recently married. Many young women today do not get practical marriage advice on how to deal with marital challenges. Unfortunately, these young women go into marriage having ideas of fairy tales, much romance, or that just a little bit of pressure is to be expected....only to be completely surprised, unable to cope, or quick in having thoughts of divorce. The problem is people do not give young women the real, nitty-gritty truth or advice many times because it can be a very touchy subject or they get advice from family where there is often a culture and generational gap that makes advice less practical or useful. However, we wanted to create a forum where more experienced women with marital counseling experience can share their personal wisdoms, marriage stories, solutions, tips, and answer all questions relating to new marriages. This is good just for general knowledge and storing for a later date and also for those who are currently married and face daily challenges whether it be communication, culture, or unmet expectations. Nobody is perfect, but we want to help women learn the best tactics to cope with imperfections and have a beautifully successful family of their own. This event will be different from advice from parents which sometimes does not translate well in light of today's trends and the cultural and age gap between young women raised in Canada and their parents raised back home. If you are in a cross-cultural marriage, or your spouse is also from back-home this event is particularly useful. Please join us and our marital experts. Parents/Moms/Auntys- we kindly request you do not attend with your girl- this event is for the young women only. We want to encourage open, honest and judgement-free, discussion.

Back2School Giveaway

Muslim organizations and businesses across South Florida are working together to help students reach their potential by providing them the tools they need to get there. FHII, MWO-SFL, CAIR, and ICNA Relief are working locally to distribute 1,200 backpacks to students in South Florida. If you would like to sponsor the cause, send us a message! Each school bag we give contains essential school supplies, helping children in lower income communities gear up for school. Education is the passport for success, and the lack of education is linked to many of the problems in our communities today. Chapters across the USA work annually to provide over 20,000 backpacks throughout the country. There are 3 parts to this project: 1. School Supply Drive: This year we are collecting donations to add to the supplies in our backpacks. For more information, https://goo.gl/3ssE4h 2. Backpack Assembly: Once we have the supplies, we need your help to get those supplies into the backpacks. Assembly location will be throughout South Florida. Be on the lookout for when we’re in your area! 3. Backpack Distribution: All of our work culminates to giving out the backpacks to students in our community. Knowing that you were able to positively impact their future and bring smiles to their faces makes all the hard work worthwhile. Make sure to check your notifications for updates! For more information, send us a message!

However, unfortunately, many schools and families cannot afford these school supplies due to difficult financial situations ICNA Relief has stepped up to the challenge – Since 2009, throughout the months from July to September, the organization and its many divisions/branches have worked together to launch the Back-2-School Giveaway Program, where school backpacks filled with basic school supplies were given to children residing in low-income areas. The giveaway events took place in over 26 states so far, and over 100,000 school bags have been distributed since its initiation. We believe in the motto, “Education is Power”, it’s the passport for success and the lack of it is linked to many of the problems resting in our communities today. Our Back 2 School Giveaway program has reached 26 states and is increasing each year! Sponsor a child at $15.00 per bag! http://www.back2schoolgiveaway.com/ If you would like to volunteer at one or more of the distribution events, please contact Sr Dana Mohamed at (484) 686-4257 or by email at dmohamed@icnarelief.org Stay tuned for update on various distribution sites here on this page!

Eid Market

رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ لأَنْ يَتَصَدَّقَ الْمَرْءُ فِي حَيَاتِهِ بِدِرْهَمٍ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقَ بِمِائَةٍ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: A man giving a dirham as sadaqah (charity) during his life is better than giving one hundred dirhams as sadaqah (charity) at the moment of his death. Towards the end of Ramadan, many of us spend the last few days or even week to shop for our Eid clothes, gifts and so on. Let us put together that experience for our dear brothers and sisters who are not able to bring that joy to their families and loved ones. Join the ISBCC community in collaboration with ICNA Relief Boston as part of our Service Sunday this Ramadan in collecting good quality or new clothes and toys for those who are less fortunate in our community. Please donate by Saturday, June 10th inshaa Allah and join us on Sunday, June 18th from 3-7:30pm to volunteer your time in setting up the ISBCC’s Function Hall as an Eid Market for community members to “shop” for their clothes and toys for their children.

6 Flags Eid Celebration for Our Syrian refugee Neighbors

This Eid, instead of holding an Eid toy drive for our struggling refugee brothers and sisters, ICNA Relief has decided to give the children the gift of memories to last a lifetime: 6 Flags Muslim Family Day Tickets! http://bit.ly/2cfGLAw We need to raise approximately $4,000 to help women (moms) and their children attend. Alhamdulilah we have food and transportation sponsors: Layla transportation & Douglas Pizza and Grill in Franklin have sponsored half the cost! Now we need your help. With only $500 raised out of 4K, we are miles away from our goal. Donate today: http://bit.ly/2cfGLAw If you love this idea, please donate online $32 per ticket and invite others to share this fun-filled event. Donate a little or as many tickets as possible! https://icnarelief.org/Apps/Give/Give.php?a=6flagsforRefuge

Back2School Backpack Drive

Muslim organizations and businesses across South Florida are working together to help students reach their potential by providing them the tools they need to get there. FHII, FIA, MWO-SFL, CAIR, Shoe Fashions USA, and ICNA Relief are working locally to distribute 1,000 backpacks to students in South Florida. If you would like to sponsor the cause, send us a message! Each school bag we give contains essential school supplies, helping children in lower income communities gear up for school. Education is the passport for success, and the lack of education is linked to many of the problems in our communities today. Chapters across the USA work annually to provide over 25,000 backpacks throughout the country. There are 3 parts to this project: 1. Notebook Drive: This year we are collecting notebooks to add to the supplies in our backpacks. For more information, https://goo.gl/UKpH5H 2. Backpack Assembly: Once we have the supplies, we need your help to get those supplies into the backpacks. Assembly location will be throughout South Florida. Be on the lookout for when we’re in your area! 3. Backpack Distribution: All of our work culminates to giving out the backpacks to students in our community. Knowing that you were able to positively impact their future and bring smiles to their faces makes all the hard work worthwhile. Make sure to check your notifications for updates! For more information, send us a message!

Building Beautiful Minds

Some people are gifted and have beautiful minds by default and others are even more gifted because they are able to build their own beautiful mind by design. This program focuses on the process of Building Beautiful Minds by design. Beautiful Minds learn to give by caring and sharing. Beautiful Minds learn to excel by learning to develop a personal vision, empowered learning and continuous improvement. Beautiful Minds learn to convert potential into tangible and significant results. Beautiful minds learn to transform destiny by developing the power of ‘imaan, yaqeen and taqwa.’ Beautiful Minds learn to live with values of honesty, integrity, generosity and looking for good in others.” Prof. Nasser Aziz obtained his master’s degree in management from Yale University and specializes in designing and conducting customized training programs for institutions like Nestle, Shell, Paktel, Indus Motors and a whole host of corporations and Pakistani universities.

Foster Parenting Workshop

Join ICNA Relief and ChildNet as we learn step-by-step how to become foster parents! Ordinary people in our community do extraordinary things. Your family, friends and neighbors have made a huge difference in the lives of children, opening their hearts and homes to children who have been abused, abandoned or neglected. They have taken on the toughest job they’ll ever love — they have become a foster parent. DID YOU KNOW! - Foster parents may be a working parent, married or single, home owner or renter, have children or have never been a parent. - They must be able to provide a safe, loving home. They receive formal training, support from professional staff and other foster parents, access to free medical, dental and child care services. - They receive financial support for children in their care. - Typically this is $450 per month, but it may be higher depending upon the specific needs of the child and training of the parent.

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Give each other gifts and you will love each other.” As we are preparing to partake in our joyous Eid celebrations with our family and friends, let us not forget those who have little to share their happiness with. Every year, ICNA Relief strives to provide Eid Gifts to many of the families that frequent our food pantry and shelter home, as their means to provide gifts to each other is limited. Join us in helping put a smile on many families' and especially children's faces as we collect various items to present as gifts to the many refugee and needy Muslims families in the Houston area. We will be accepting new or very gently used items such as kitchen appliances, household essentials, toys, candy, goodie bags, clothes, gift cards, cash, groceries, among other items that may be useful for families who don't have much. Please consider participating in this project as we Share our Joy with the Needy and help put a smile on their faces. You can drop off any items or donations you would like be gifted at our food pantry, located on 5645 Hillcroft Ave #405 Houston, TX 77036 from Tuesday thru Friday 4:00-6:30pm and Saturday 12:00-2:00pm. Please contact our food pantry manager, Br. Shabbir, at 832-302-1681 or our Women's Shelter Manager, Sr. Seemi Bukhari, at 832-383-1669 via call or text for inquiries about acceptable gift items. You can also email inquiries and pictures to houston@icnarelief.org. If you would like to donate online, you can do so at https://icnarelief.org/Apps/Donation/Donation.php?a=relief and indicate "Muslim Family Services" in the preferences and write "Eid Gifts Houston" in the comments box. We will also be needing volunteers to help decorate Eid cards, package, and present these gifts to the families, so please stay tuned for more information regarding that, insha'Allah. Let's make this Eid-ul-Fitr a memorable one for the many Muslim needy families here in Houston! JazakAllah khair!

BBQ Picnic! (proceeds go to Iftaar Food Hampers)

As we will sit down to enjoy iftaar with our families this Ramadan, we may not realize that some of our Muslim brothers and sisters perhaps are not as fortunate as we are to have a bountiful table before us. Yes! Though many may argue, it is a fact that several Muslims in Calgary struggle to feed their families decent meals everyday. The BBQ is organized to raise money to purchase items for the Iftaar Basket that are needed or is insufficient in stock, and ALL proceeds will go towards the baskets. The BBQ is $5 only, but we would like to encourage you to open your hearts for whatever you can help with. We would like to invite your family to join us for a fun way to support your Muslim brothers and sisters. June 13, 2015 is the last Saturday before Ramadan and is one more chance to have fun before we get serious in our Ibadah and Saum. The BBQ will be held at the Edworthy Park - Site 6 (reserved for us) from 12pm - 3pm. There will be food, games, face painting, and lots of fun for everyone! Under 5 year old Free! Due to limited space we do require that you RSVP us with number of people (names required) joining and if the are adult or children (children ages required) to me at 587-897-2534 or reply to this e-mail (bettyismail@hotmail.com). Ticket purchasing can be done on the day of BBQ but information is required for planning and preperation. Last day to confirm is June 10th Inshallah.

Foster Care Information Session

Taking care of orphans, elderly, widowed and the community in general is a part of our Deen, but sadly other communities have taken a lead role and we are left behind in the race of good deeds. As Muslims, we all proudly talk about the fact that the Welfare, Foster Care, Judicial, Economic systems was introduced by Islam, and yet we are not prevalent in the society today for being providers for these works. This free information session is dedicated to bringing awareness to the Muslim Community about the facts, and what and how can they be involved Inshallah! Sheikh Mahdi Qasqas will be sharing with us the importance and benefits of fostering, and we also have guest speakers from the Calgary & District Foster Parents Association that will explain the current situation and the process. There is no commitment required, but the least we can do is find out about the concern and educate and encourage each other to Enjoining Good. *Refreshments served

Qurbani/ Udhiya ( Seeking Allah’s pleasure)

This Eid, Donate your Qurbani via ICNA Relief at www.icnarelief.org/Qurbani What is Udhiya/ Qurbani? What is Udhiya?” He replied, “It is the Sunnah of your father Ibrahim (peace be upon him).” They asked again, “What benefit do we get from it?” He answered, “A reward for every hair (of the sacrificed animal).” “And [what reward is there for animals with] wool, O Messenger of Allah?” they asked. “A reward”, he said, “for every fiber of the wool.” (Sunan Ibn Majah) See how easily you can give the gift of meat this holiday season to a family in need right here at home. EZ Qurbani - Carried out on your behalf. Call (866) 354-0102 or visit the Qurbani link! Note: Eid date varies Ibn al-Qayyim said : Sacrifice at the appropriate time, such as during Hajj and on Eid al-Adha, is better than giving its price in charity even if one gives more, because offering a sacrifice and shedding blood is what is required, and it is an act of worship that is mentioned alongside prayer, as Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him only)” [al-Kawthar: 108:2]

From Darkness To Light: Featuring Arnoud Van Doorn, Wisam Sharieff, Farhan Abdul Aziz

ICNA Relief USA invites you to Our Banquet: From Darkness To Light: The Story of Arnoud Van Doorn Featuring Arnoud Van Doorn, Wisam Sharieff, Farhan Abdul Aziz Listen to the story of the Former "Big Critic" Who Made a Movie Against the Prophet Muhammad (saw) but is now Calling the World to Islam Arnoud Van Doorn was not as well known as his former boss the notorious Islamophobe Geert Wilders, but he is now after his conversion to Islam early last year. The 47-year-old Dutchman worked as a youth and family counselor before he joined Wilders anti-Islam Freedom party in The Netherlands several years ago. Doorn wrote speeches for Wilders and helped produced the short film "Fitna" which depicts Islam as an evil and violent religion. He was also a member of the Dutch parliament and The Hague City Council. But after hearing Muslims counter his criticisms of Islam, he decided to learn the religion for himself. He converted to Islam within a few months and performed Hajj, the pilgrimage to Makkah, this past October. "I felt ashamed standing in front of the Prophet’s grave. I thought of the grave mistake which I had made by producing that sacrilegious film. I hope that Allah will forgive me and accept my repentance," Doorn told the Saudi Gazette at the time. ICNA Relief has invited our new brother in Islam to the U.S. where he will personally share what led him from hating Islam to embracing it. Date: Saturday, March 29th, 2014 Doors Open at 7:00PM Sharp Tickets: $20/person Venue: Woodhaven Manor | 96-01 Jamaica Ave | Woodhaven | NY 11421 For More Info Contact: Shahid Farooqi | (315) 534-0790 | shahidfarooqi@icnarelief.org * Babysitting is available * Free Valet Parking included

The Jersey City branch of ICNA will be distributing school bags filled with school supplies to local children in partnership with Al-Tawheed mosque during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. This initiative is part of ICNA Relief’s national Back-2-School Giveaway Project, which is hosting over 30 similar events across the U.S. These efforts are helping over 15,000 children nationwide, where each child present will receive a school bag filled with supplies such as notebooks, pens, pencils, sharpeners, erasers, rulers, crayons and scissors. The month of Ramadan also gives special importance to increasing charitable acts, as fasting develops compassion for those who are poor and needy, inspiring the act of giving.
