Dear Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Islam,

As we welcome the blessed month of Ramadan, a time of reflection, generosity, and spiritual renewal, we at the Islamic Center of Detroit (ICD) are filled with gratitude. This year, we celebrate a milestone: 25 years of dedicated service to our vibrant community. For a quarter of a century, the ICD has been a beacon of faith, a haven of support, and a place where lives are touched and transformed.

Remember the words of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): “Allah will announce on the Day of Resurrection: Where are my neighbors? Where are my neighbors? The angels will say: Our Lord, who is befitting to be your neighbor? Allah will say: Where are the sustainers of the masajid?” (Musnad al-Ḥārith 126). For 25 years, you have been those neighbors, the sustainers of the ICD.

For 25 years, your support has enabled the ICD to achieve remarkable milestones. Over this time, we have reached 17 Million+ Food Security Program Beneficiaries, assisted 20,000+ refugee families, distributed 21,000+ school supplies, facilitated 5,000+ therapy and counseling sessions, empowered 50,000+ youth, and welcomed over 2,000 individuals who took their Shahada at the ICD and were served by our New Muslim Committee. These achievements stand as a testament to your unwavering commitment and the profound impact we have made together.

This Ramadan, we ask for your continued support to strengthen and sustain the vital programs that have defined our legacy for 25 years. Our community's needs continue to evolve, and to ensure we can continue providing essential services and remain a pillar of support, we must reinforce the foundation upon which we’ve built our service. This will allow us to:

• Enhance and expand our existing programs: Ensure our youth programs, mental wellness services, and community outreach initiatives remain impactful and accessible to all.
• Invest in our resources and infrastructure: Maintain and improve the facilities and resources necessary to effectively serve our growing community.
• Secure the future of the ICD: Build a strong foundation for the next 25 years, ensuring we can continue to be a source of guidance, support, and spiritual growth.

For 25 years, the ICD has been a place where lives are changed. From supporting refugees and newcomers to providing food security and mental wellness services, we have strived to embody the true spirit of Islam. This investment is not just about sustaining a building; it's about sustaining our capacity to serve, to uplift, and to be a true neighbor to all.

Join us this Ramadan in celebrating and securing the ICD's legacy. Your generous contribution on LaunchGood.com will ensure we can continue to serve our community for the next 25 years and beyond, Inshallah. Be a neighbor of Allah by supporting this blessed cause.

May Allah bless you abundantly for your continued support and generosity.
