Important Announcement
Assalamualaikum

ICGC has made the difficult decision to continue the cancellation of congregational prayers and on site activities until further notice and safe to reconvene.

In accordance with the recommendations set forth by public health officials, infectious disease specialists, Fiqh Council of North America, and Governor Mike DeWine's shelter-in-place order for the state of Ohio, ICGC will continue its cancellation of congregational prayers and on site activities until further notice.

These are unprecedented times, and while we are practicing social distancing, we urge our dear community members to stay connected with Allah SWT, each other, and the masjid.

To this effect, ICGC has implemented the following:

● Nightly Quran recitations by Shaikh Mahmoud Khalil and inspirational reflections 
  by Shaik Hossam Musa.

Be sure to subscribe to ICGC's YouTube channel to stay connected.

● Virtually resuming Tuesday Ladies Halaqa "Hubb-ul-Quran series"

Please also stay tuned for

● Resumption of Quran hifdh program
● Youth programming
● Sunday educational sessions
● Exploration of Sunday School online opportunities 

ICGC also continues to Uplift Lives through service via
● ICGC Social Services
○ Food Pantry with Drive-by pickups
○ ongoing services for clients
● Rahma Social Service projects
○ Senior grocery services
○ Healthcare masks sewing project

The leadership has been convening (virtually) regularly to ensure that the organization continues to function smoothly. Our utmost priority is the community's well-being not just your physical health, but also your mental, spiritual, and financial stability. We continue to explore options to serve you better.

During this difficult test, please continue your supplications to Allah SWT. Please always remember with every difficulty there is ease. Reach out, connect, and maintain hope during these times. InshaAllah soon Allah SWT will reunite us in His home and in blessed gatherings.

In the interim, we pray that He SWT fortifies your hearts, homes and families with
health, love, and prosperity!

The masjid will remain closed to the community until further notice

We will continue to operate from 8 am to 4 pm, Monday through Friday however, for the safety and protection of our staff, clients and community members, our team will be working remotely. This means offices will be physically closed and no in-person appointments will be scheduled or conducted until March 24th. 

Please schedule appointments for all services by calling or emailing Jackie Othman jothman@icgc.us or Leanna Allouch lallouch@icgc.us 

1. To ensure continuity of service for our food pantry clients we will be 
transitioning from the choice pantry model to pre-packed controlled distribution services. This means that we will be open 1 day a week only for limited hours during which we will distribute food via a drive-through style system.

2. We will also continue with our employment, rent & utility assistance 
and referral program via phone intakes and emails.

3. ESL and tutoring sessions have also been canceled. We are 
exploring options for online classes esp. if remote work continues to be the only option post 3/24. 

May Allah SWT make this difficult and challenging time, an opportunity to revitalize our faith and connection with the Almighty, ease our burden and protect us from all harm - Ameen.
