Assalamu Alaikum dear ISOC family,

For 50 years, ISOC has been home: where we pray, where our children learn the Qur'an, and where we stand together in joy and in loss.

Allah (swt) tells us that "Charity given for His sake is like a seed that sprouts seven ears, each holding a hundred grains, and He multiplies it for whom He wills" (2:261).

This year-end, we're asking 1,000 people to plant one seed of $100. Together, that's $100,000 to sustain our Food Pantry, Hifdh, Iqra, Insight Academy, youth programs, and New Muslim group.

🌱 Plant a seed for every member of your family.
One seed for you, one for your spouse, one for each child, one for your parents, and one for a loved one who has returned to Allah. Every name becomes a seed, and every seed keeps growing.

👉 Give today: https://themasjidapp.org/isoc/donations/2881

Please plant your seeds by December 31 so we can begin the new year with these programs fully supported.

Will your family be part of the 1,000? https://themasjidapp.org/isoc/donations/2881

Please share the attached flyer with your friends and family to maximize our potential, inshaAllah!

Jazakum Allahu khayran,
