Alhamdulillah! We would like to thank our local Muslim Girl Scouts from the North Fulton County area (Marietta through Alpharetta) for their hard work and efforts in making 24 personal care baskets for our local seniors, homeless and disabled families under the guidance of their troop leaders Rasha Hassan and Mona Shamma.
These personal care baskets were delivered to families who greatly appreciated them and all filled with items that the families needed. Jazak Allah Khair again for doing this very worthwhile project to assist our families. May Allah Subhana wa Ta’Ala bless and reward you all.

Sayyidinaa Abu Hurayrah Radhi Allahu 'anhu has related that An Nabiyyukal Kareem Sall Allahu 'alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallim said,
"in order to promote mutual love, exchange gifts amongst yourselves." [Bukhari]
Alhamdulillah! The Ramadhan Gift Basket Project is off to a wonderful start. Young men and ladies from North Georgia and the Metro-Atlanta area are coming together to make this Blessed Shahrul Ramadhan a memorable month. By spreading the message of love and generocity they are fostering the true spirit of Islam and the Blessed Shahrul Ramadhan!
May Allahu ta 'ala bless everyone who has participated so far and make a way for those who wish to but haven't been able to yet. Remember your duaa' and best wishes for your Muslim brothers and sisters during this Blessed Month are a gift as well.
