HELP THE LEADERS

who guide and inspire us.

This Ramadan, your donation helps Imams across North America keep doing their important work.

Why Ramadan

is the Best Time to Give?

Ramadan is not just a time for fasting and reflecting – it's also a time for connecting more deeply with each other and with our faith. Giving in Ramadan, whether it's Zakat or Sadaqah, is extra special.

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said,

"The best charity is the one given in Ramadan."

(Tirmidhi 663).

Your donations help make sure Imams are supported, trained, and able to continue their important roles in our communities.

The Role of Imams

is the Best Time to Give?

Imams are the backbone of our communities. They are our religious leaders, counselors, teachers, and spiritual guides. Allah (SWT) commands us to follow and support those who lead us in righteousness:

"And We made them leaders, guiding by Our command, and We inspired them to do good deeds, establish prayer, and give charity. And they were worshippers of Us alone."

— Surah Al-Anbiya (21:73)

But many Imams face financial struggles and lack access to proper training. They cannot lead with knowledge, care, and guidance without the right resources. By supporting Imams, you are investing in the future of our faith and strengthening our Muslim community.
