Ramadhan - A time to reach out and appreciate |
|
|
|
The United
Muslim Foundation prides itself on
continuously networking with different organizations
in an effort to promote unity, education and
charity.
AlhamdulilLah, last month UMF helped to raise money
for Comfort Aid International who is
in India using our funds to help the hungry, in time
for Ramadhan. Donors also contributed
toward UMF's Niger/Mali fund to help feed the
needy in that ailing part of the world. These
donations are set to be distributed through Islamic Relief
and
Doctors without Borders. May
Allah bless
you all abundantly for your generosity.
We need your help this blessed
month to
clarify
misconceptions about Islam, aid the needy and work
united with other Muslim brothers and sisters to
achieve more than we can each do alone. So
join us
in one or
all of the events we have scheduled and be part of a
team that makes a difference!
UMF volunteers
have already
signed up to give a presentation at a school on
October 4th and a church on
October 8th. We encourage you to contact
UMF if
you
would like UMF to host a presentation on Ramadhan
for your school, or if you
would simply like us to help you get the tools to
make a successful presentation yourself.
UMF has been blessed with numerous inquires
from journalists to individuals surfing the net for
more information on Islam. We have updated our
website with various new links to help get more
information on Islam. We have also sold many
Korans
already
on Amazon.com and
continue to ship the Mir Ahmed
Ali
translations across the USA and abroad.
We are counting on your support by signing up to
volunteer for events across the country and
through your generous
monthly credit card contributions to help us continue
to promote unity, education and charity. Visit
the UMF
Website and fill in the form at the bottom of the
page so that we may contact you for your support.
And finally, a sincere note to all our members. We
want you to know
that you are invaluable to us and we would like to
invite you and your family to our annual member
appreciation
dinner
hosted by UMF. Invitations will be sent out via e-vite
soon. We look forward to seeing you there.
