Book an appointment with the Imam
Meet Imam Rasheed Farah or Religious Director Sheikh Ammar Taufiq for counseling, Nikah arrangements, taking your shahada or any question about the deen — in person, by phone or by video.

Financial assistance (Emergency Relief Fund)
Temporary financial help for community members in crisis, funded by your Zakat, Sadaqah and Fitra and run by volunteers. Apply online with your last three months of bank statements; we respond within 3–5 business days by email or phone.
Open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. We cannot help with interest-bearing payments (mortgage, car lease) or tuition — for tuition, see A Continuous Charity Foundation.
