"“Whoever separates a mother from her child, then Allah will separate him from his loved ones on the Day of Resurrection.” ~ Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him



No Child Left Behind 
More than 700 children - including children as young as 9-months old - have been transferred to group homes across New York state following the Trump Administrations "zero-tolerance" policy on border crossings. The Islamic Center at NYU is hoping to raise what we can to provide assistance to these children to get them the care and services they are in need of with the ultimate goal of reuniting them with their families.  All funds contributed are tax-deductible and will be distributed by the New York Immigration Coalition to organizations in their networks providing legal services, case workers, social workers, coordination, advocacy and organizing costs, and more in an effort to represent the children currently in New York. 

#EndFamilySeparation
As many of us know, the Trump administration announced a “zero-tolerance” policy on border crossings on April 6. As a result of this cruel policy, more than 2,300 children have been ripped from their parents’ arms. News stories detail the horrific abuse suffered by these children - all while Customs officer crack jokes and shift blame by claiming they are merely “following orders.”

Last week, in response to public outcry, Trump signed an executive order mandating that children now be detained with their parents in ICE facilities indefinitely unless their cases are resolved. This solves nothing: “zero tolerance” is still in play, and children and families will still be imprisoned. It is also clear that the administration do not plan to reunite those families already separated, especially in light of reports that parents are being deported while their children remain here in the United States.  


How You Can Help

Give whatever you can. Whether its 1 dollar, 5 dollars or 5,000, every bit will make a difference.  And please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.  May Allah reward you for your generosity and give you and your loved ones only the best in this world and in the next.  Ameen.
