Ahmad H. Saqr's Resignation

Dear Community Members,

as-Salamu 'Alaykum,

I wanted to begin this weekly update with a special message of gratitude on behalf of ICGC to Ahmad H. Saqr for his years of service to our community. He has been instrumental in the development and expansion of many of our youth programming with much energy and enthusiasm while serving as a mentor and role model. Although we are saddened by his resignation and departure from Cincinnati, we wish him all the best success in his future endeavors.

Best Regards,
Tammam Alwan

as-Salamu 'Alaykum,

Your generous donations this past Ramadan have allowed us to be able to offer a board-approved, full-time position to fulfill the needs our community has for a role model, leader, and coordinator for youth programming and events. You can help by forwarding the following advertisement to your contacts.

One of the last steps of the interview process is to provide the community, especially parents and their children, an opportunity to interact with finalist candidates. Please look forward to that, as we would like your feedback.

ICGC recognizes the need for role models and mentors that can connect with both our boys as well as our girls, guiding them through their spiritual journeys. This is a first step towards realizing that vision, 'in sha'a allah.

Best Regards,
Tammam Alwan

IWS- Sunday School Registration

We are pleased to inform you that now you can register your kids and pay the tuition online for the Islamic weekend school.

Please use the below Google link that will take you through all the options and the required information to be submitted. Please click here to register

To pay by check, please print and fill out the payment slip  then drop it off with the check to the box outside the Islamic Weekend School office, room C-113 in the Community building. Please make checks payable to the "Islamic Educational Council."

The Islamic Weekend School will provide in person registration in order to accommodate parents without computer access on the 3rd week of August, Inshaa Allah.
Mothers with Young Children

The community building has a beautiful and clean ladies musalla (C-102) with now perfect sound from the mosque to accommodate mothers with young children. Please do take your very young children there to still be a part of the Jumu'ah prayer experience. The children would be more comfortable there rather than the mosque, and that way their voices would not echo throughout the mosque, which would disturb other worshipers there.
