Feb 10, 2016

-—FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—-

NEW YORK, NY (February 10, 2016) – 58 people were killed and 78 wounded today in a Nigerian refugee camp purportedly by the terrorist group Boko Haram. The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) condemns these horrific crimes in the strongest terms possible.

These cowardly and despicable attacks on civilians by Boko Haram are outrageous and without justification. Our thoughts and prayers are with the loved ones of those killed and injured and with all Nigerians facing these murderous criminals who have nothing to do with Islam or with any faith. The perpetrators of these heinous attacks must be apprehended and brought to justice.

The passing of Syed Ali Shah Geelani

First Ten Days of Dhul Hijjah

The inclusion of poor in our festivity must be done without which we cannot complete our service to Allah SWT. How many societies the poor is left out of the pie and the rich eats the entire pie. A few weeks ago, we celebrated Eid-ul Fitr. And on that Eid, we enjoy its virtues by giving the Zakaat-ul Fitr to the poor before we begin the Eid prayer. This Eid we have to complete its celebration by giving 1/3 of the meat to the poor and needy. As Allah SWT says: Then eat thereof and feed therewith the poor who have a very hard time. (22:28) EID MUBAARAK!
