About Us

Our Dedicated Undertaking

The elders from the different masaajid & ethnic groups composing our local Muslim community have done tremendous work in building a local Muslim community. Our undertaking is to prepare generations of Muslim men to shoulder the responsibilities that have been executed by those elders and to hone ourselves as responsible, knowledgeable, practicing Muslim men who can caretake our duties to Allah, our families, & our communities. For this undertaking, we focus on three core domains of Muslim life:

• 'Ilm (عِلْم) | Knowledge
  • Halaqat throughout the year with respected local scholars & imams.
  • Encouragement for brothers to pursue learning Arabic.
  • Hold multiple workshops to help brothers develop understanding of personal finance & career advancement.
  • Hold multiple public events to discuss matters impacting local Muslims including how-to teach converts, immigration policy discussions, & more.
• 'Ibadah (عِبَادَة) | Worship
  • Encourage active salaat in the various masaajid.
  • Encourage members to learn how to deliver khutbahs in case the need arises at various masaajid.
  • Encourage the reading, practicing, & memorization of the Qu'ran, the hadith corpus, & scholarly texts.
  • As of 2023, maintain the ghusl al-mayyit of our beloved brothers who pass away.
• 'Amaal (عَمَل) | Action
  • Organized a food pantry for families in need.
  • Facilitate zakat al-maal & zakat al-fitr to the proper categories of recipients locally.
  • Maintain the grounds at the Greenhaven Islamic Cemetery.
  • Support multiple programs at various masaajid including dugsis at Masjid Bilal South, youth programs at GLIC & MCC, & more.
