​

“The month of Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed; a guide for the people, the most authoritative of all guidance and a criteria to discern right from wrong. Anyone of you who knows that the month of Ramadan has begun, he must start to fast. Those who are sick or on a journey have to fast the same number of days at another time. God does not impose any hardship upon you. He wants you to have comfort so that you may complete the fast, glorify God for His having given you guidance, and that, perhaps, you would give Him thanks.”

Holy Quran 2:185

Ramadhan 1446 Proposed Budget

How to Donate?

The funds we raise in Ramadhan traditionally help to keep our center running during months when attendance and donations are not very high. Multiple sponsorships for each night will be accepted.

Our target this Ramadhan is to raise $200K

A family sponsorship of $450 is requested to help us meet our goal

Please contribute generously and help us avoid a deficit. Email us at treasurer@sijny.org for any queries.

​

“Hasten to obtain forgiveness from your Lord and to qualify yourselves for Paradise. Paradise, vast as the heavens and the earth, is prepared for the pious who spend their property for the cause of God in prosperity as well as in adversity and who also harness their anger and forgive the people. God loves the righteous ones.”
