It is currently the best time of the week to make Duaa. Let's try to detach ourselves from our busy lives for 10-30 minutes to turn to Allah in prayer. 

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Friday is twelve hours in which there is no Muslim slave who asks Allah (SWT) for something but He will give it to him, so seek it in the last hour after 'Asr."

‎عنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ سَاعَةً لاَ يُوجَدُ فِيهَا عَبْدٌ مُسْلِمٌ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ شَيْئًا إِلاَّ آتَاهُ إِيَّاهُ فَالْتَمِسُوهَا آخِرَ سَاعَةٍ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Assalamu Alaikum,

As the calendar flips to 2026, I was hoping you would take a moment to reflect on all of the impactful programs and services ISOC offered you and your family this year. If you're in a position to make a one-time or monthly year-end tax-deductible gift, we can really use the help and today is the day to do it! https://msjd.co/NYE2025

May Allah SWT accept from us our deeds in 2025 and forgive our shortcomings! Ameen.

Update: 
Burial will take place today at 3:30pm. 

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Allah we return)

With heavy hearts, we share the news of the passing of our beloved Mokhtar Abbas Shawky. He was a devoted father, grandfather, and family man who touched the lives of everyone around him with his kindness, wisdom, and unwavering faith.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi ra'jiun. It is with great sorrow that ISOC and OCS announce the passing of Dr. Habeebulla Khan. May Allah bless his soul, grant him maghfirah, raise his ranks to the highest levels of Jannah, and give comfort to all family members. Salatul janazah will be held at ISOC today after the Zuhr prayer at 1:15pm, followed by burial at Westminster Memorial Park. Due to the inclement weather, please allow a little extra time.

Coming to ISOC on February 1 - purchase your tickets soon! Sure to be a SOLD OUT event!
