Pay your Zakah and distribute it too!

Pay your Zakatul Fitr online at www.alamaanah.com/zakah by Friday, September 3, at 5:00 pm to have it distributed locally. This year we plan on distributing food and household items to over 150 refugee families in Houston.

After you pay online, be sure to volunteer to help give out Zakatul Fitr. We will be distributing on Labor Day, Monday, September 6th at 1:00 pm at 8 different apartment complexes. Updates on location will be sent out to all those who sign up!

Pay your Zakah!

Pink and Blue Eid Celebration

Preparation for the 2nd Annual Pink and Blue Eid Celebration is almost completed! Our volunteers have really raised the bar in everything from gathering donations to the variety of activities planned for this celebration. InshAllah our massive Eid party will be held on September 12th. For more information about the event click here or email jida@alamaanah.com

Half Date Drive

Half Date is having a popularity contest. Scroll down to about a third of the way down the page and vote for us! Winners of each weeks poll receive $500! That money can be used to supplement the rent of a widow, purchase much needed groceries, pay for more kids to attend an after school program or even expand our weekend Islamic School. Please don’t forget to vote for us! Voting is reset every Friday. Jazakullah Khair to all of our facebook supporters who helped propel us to victory last week!

New Staff Members

We made dua’a for our staff to grow, so we could grow and continue to help more and more. Our dua’as have been answered! We have a few new faces to welcome to the team. We have two new directors: Adeel Siddiqui is our new Director of Field Operations and Amina Mehic is our new Director of Finance. New caseworkers and support service team members include Ahmed Megahed, Rabab Sabbahi, Haitham Baghdady, Jida Nabulsi, Abdel Rahman Taher and Judy Sultan.  And we welcome back Salma Taher to the Support Services team as well. We make dua’a that Allah puts baraqah in their time and rewards them and their families for every ounce of effort they put forth in helping our clients stand on their own two feet.

We have a lot going on! We’re grateful that Allah has given us this opportunity to get closer to Him. Don’t worry, we won’t be selfish. To hop on the ajr train, email us at info@alamaanah.com :)
