" We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power - And what will explain to thee what the night of power is? - The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. - Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah's permission, on every errand; - Peace!...This until the rise of morn!" ~ Qur'an 97: 1-5

MAKE THESE LAST 10 DAYS COUNT

We are in the final 10 days and nights of Ramadan, one of which is Laylaul Qadr.  With only  a few days to reap the rewards of this blessed month, won't you consider an end of Ramadan contribution to our Muslim Speakers Network program? 

During the last six months, MSN has held five trainings to certify community members as speakers and also conducted presentations about Islam to more than twelve-hundred students.  To continue this important work, we ask for your support. Scholars have approved zakat for this purpose and we urge you to consider MSN in your Zakat  contributions. 



Our goal is to raise $50,000 during this blessed month, which will help us retain the current part-time program coordinator as a full-time position and organize many more trainings and presentations in this coming year.    
  1. Donate by calling us at 714.373.6473 or email us with your contact information at info@shuracouncil.org and we will call you.
  2. Donate online.
  3. Donate by mail - write your check, payable to 'Islamic Shura Council' and write in the memo (MSN) then mail it to 7231 Garden Grove Blvd., Suite H, Garden Grove, CA 92841.
  4. Collect from your congregation and let us know of amount and we will work out the logistics to receive the funds from you.
  5. Pray that together we help our fellow southern Californians learn more about Islam.
The month of Ramadan is coming to an end. There's till time to benefit from our  Ramadan Central  page.
