Thanks a Million To MCECC Community

(Annual Fund Raising in Ramadan, 2010)

 

Br. M. Salim Rana

This year, the MCECC organized its annual fund-raiser, which was held on Saturday, August 28^th and Sunday September 5^th at the MCECC campus between Isha’a and Taraweeh prayers.  Mufti Amin Aziz had the honor of calling for donations to pay off Masjid debts.  After a very emotional speech by Sh. Aziz about the importance of charity, the call was made to contribute for the sake of Allah (SWT).  Hundreds of Community members opened their hearts and gave more than expected or even all that they could.  Many young, financially restricted students made offers for donations.  Even small children were not to be left behind and they kept coming to the Sheikh with their small pocket money or personal savings.  We have read in Islamic history that women used to offer their prized jewelry for Islamic causes.  On this night, many of our sisters did just this and offered their personal jewelry.  How could one even imagine the sacrifice, commitment, personal value, and contribution of such donations?  Only Allah (SWT) will thank all of us and reward us properly not only in this world but in the Hereafter as well.  In just about an hour, we had raised approximately $240,000 in first and $160,000 in second fund-raiser Alhamdu lillah. 

This fund-raising events has left indelible marks in the hearts and minds of Muslims in San Antonio community.  On the behalf of MCECC, we would like to say to the community Thanks a Million.  Only Allah (SWT) can do justice and reward you for your help and donations for The House of Allah.

The MCECC administration would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who made this fund-raising a successful event.  We thank Allah (SWT) and our generous donors for their financial support.  Allah (SWT), as He himself promises, will reward them with much more than they have donated in His cause.
