ISSEW Fundraising

ISSEW will be collecting funds/donations during community Iftaar for the following funds:

1. Zakat-ul-Fitr (Fitrah) of $10/per person which is compulsory upon a Muslim to share the joy and happiness of Eid-ul-Fitr with those who are less fortunate. It must be paid before the Eid prayer. Earlier you pay better it is to reach into the hands of the needy. Please make the payments to ISSEW and we will facilitate the distribution inshaAllah.
2. Zakat-ul-Maal (Zakat) is incumbent upon every Muslim who posses excess wealth (savings) each year. Ramadan is the best month to pay your Zakat for two reasons. One, the rewards are in multiple folds and two, easy to track a Calendar year. Please follow the guide to assess the proper amount of Zakat-ul-Maal you owe this year and pay it the desrving Muslims. This fund is exclusive for Needy Muslims. Again ISSEW is collecting the funds and will distribute it first within our community to those who qualify and then people at other places. Please make the payments to ISSEW and we will facilitate the distribution inshaAllah.
3. ISSEW Building Project: As we have presented the project aspirations of ISSEW to construct a facility onto our land for providing better educational, recreational, and community services, we would like to launch the fundraising campaign to raise the funds needed in order to build the facilty by the Grace of Almighty Allah. Your participation and help is the way to go as a community to achieve our ambitious goal successfully. No Zakaat Funds could be given to this project as only poor and needy have rights over Zakat funds. InshaAllah, we pray to Allah to reward you with the wealth and blessings to please Allah SWT alone. More you spend in the path of Allah, more you will be rewarded inshaAllah. After putting our Trust in Allah, we are counting you all to help achieve this goal. More details will follow InshaAllah.

Honorable & Respectable Brs. and Srs. in Islam,

AssalaamuAlaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuh!

We would like to invite you to a very important event of our community in building Muslim Community of South Eastern Wisconsin on Saturday at 5 PM on June 8th, 2013. During this Gathering, we will be having the following two events.

Al-Noor Sunday School Graduation ( 5 PM to 7 PM)

Alhamdulillah! we are completing another exciting Sunday School year and would like to cordially invite you to witness some of the exciting performances of our students and acknowledge there hard-work and effort throughout the year InshaAllah. The program agenda for this event is:

7. Vote of Thanks by Principal (5 mins)

Asr Prayer and Refreshments from (7 PM to 7:20 PM)

Unveiling of an ISSEW Community Center Proposal (7:20 PM to 8:00 PM)

All Praise is due to Allah SWT and by His Grace the two brothers have done a tremendous favor to the South Eastern Wisconsin Muslim Community by donating 28 Acres of land. May Allah SWT reward them in abundance and bestow upon them unimaginable favors in this world as well as in the Hereafter. Ameen! 

As the Office bearers of the Committee, we feel it is our responsibility to put our sincere effort towards better utilization of this property and realizing the dreams of this community by the Will and Grace of Almighty Allah to make a Model Community Village where the needs of our children, youth, adults, and our seniors are met under one roof. We dreamed for everyone of us to feel this as our home and prefer to spend most of our time here as one brotherhood.

As a first step, ISSEW has hired an Architect to come up with a Conceptual Design of our Phase I project under the guidance of Br. Masood Alam whom you all know very well. May Allah Bless him for his effort and support. We feel that we and you all own this project and hence it is our responsibility to share it with you and work as one Ummah in realizing our DREAM of developing a Model Community Village for us and for our generations to come, where all our needs of worships, sports, socialization, support, and other services are met in a cleaner environment free from evils, vulgarities, filth, deception, false peer pressures, etc.

Br. Masood and the Architect will come to present the details of this project and answer few questions you may have. Therefore, we would like you all to come join us and listen to a very exciting presentation InshaAllah and of course OWN it as it is your project, your children's project, and your family's project. Allah SWT says in the Qura'n in At-Taubah [9:111]: 

إِنَّ اللّهَ اشْتَرَى مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُم بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ الجَنَّةَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ فَيَقْتُلُونَ وَيُقْتَلُونَ وَعْدًا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّا فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَالإِنجِيلِ وَالْقُرْآنِ وَمَنْ أَوْفَى بِعَهْدِهِ مِنَ اللّهِ فَاسْتَبْشِرُواْ بِبَيْعِكُمُ الَّذِي بَايَعْتُم بِهِ وَذَلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ 

9:111 Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah. then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.

ANNOOR SUNDAY SCHOOL VOLUNTEERS

August 8 2011

Assalamualiakum Brothers and Sisters

Inshallah the first day of Sunday School this year will be September 4, 2011.

In order to have a successful school we need a group of dedicated volunteers.

We are currently looking for dedicated volunteers to teach at any of the levels.  Alhamdullilah there have been many members of our community who have expressed interest in teaching.  We would like anyone else who is interested teaching to contact me via e-mail or at any of the Iftars.

While we appreciate the enthusiasm shown by many members of the community, in order to have a successful school year, we need dedicated teachers who can commit to coming every Sunday, and in the event that they cannot make it, they should arrange for a substitute to take the class and have a lesson plan.  It is very important that all of our teachers have schedules that allow them to be at Sunday School regularly.

If anyone is interested, please contact, with that subject you are interested in teaching, what levels, and how many classes you would be able to take, along with what time of day you would be available (10:00- 10:50, 10:50-11:40, 12:10-1:00, or any combination).   Please contact me soon so that we can have a schedule ready soon and give teachers enough time to prepare before school starts.
 
Sincerely,
Brother Cheema
