Imams Condemn Terrorist Attack at Boston Marathon

(Royal Oak, MI, 04/17/13) – On behalf of the Imams Council of the Michigan Muslim Community Council (MMCC), we offer our condolences to the family of victims who lost their lives in the unfortunate tragedy in Boston on Monday, April 15, 2013. We express our sadness and sorrow for the loss of our fellow innocent citizens. Our prayers and thoughts are with their families and with those who were injured and the people of Boston. We condemn in the strongest terms such acts of terrorism that take the lives of innocent people. This evil act is detested by all faiths and all people. We turn to God for solace and help.

The perpetrators (extremists) with their perverted ideologies will not succeed in dividing our nation. As Americans, we stand in solidarity with all communities and men of conscience undivided against all acts of terrorism and ideologies that promote such heinous acts.

May God almighty help heal the wounds of the injured and grant patience to the families who lost their loved ones and fill the hearts of Bostonians and the American people with peace. 

Michigan Food Pantry Program

The Michigan Muslim Community Council has launched a new, badly needed program to help those in need. The Michigan food pantry program is collaborative effort between MMCC and Michigan Gleaners Food Bank.

The money raised will be used to buy food supplies at discounted prices from the Gleaners food bank. The food will be distributed through distribution centers at various Islamic Centers and organizations in the Detroit area to people in need.

The program is a year round program so donors are asked to donate monthly if possible. The money collected will be used to purchase food supply for the following month and therefor the program is zakat eligible.

Please do not forget to sign up to our mailing list so we can send a monthly reminder.
