ISGH continues to monitor the COVID-19 situation in the Greater Houston area. After consulting with our team of advisors which include scholars, physicians, and public health workers, we are taking steps to minimize large gatherings and therefore:
All Jum’uah prayer services are canceled for this week (3/13/20). While it was difficult to arrive at this decision, we feel it is in the best interest of our community and in line with advice from government, healthcare, and some religious authorities. Please pray your regular duhr prayer (4 raka’) at home. We will reevaluate holding prayer services for next Jum’uah and keep the community updated.
All ISGH weekend Islamic schools will be closed until further notice.
All programs and lectures will be canceled, postponed, or delivered online. We encourage local centers to utilize livestreaming capabilities and communicate changes and cancelations in a timely fashion.
Our subsidiary, the Islamic Education Institute of Texas (IEIT), has published a statement and will follow the lead of local independent school districts to determine school closures.
