Please mark your calender, bring your family and join us there in the nignt of Liylatul Qadr at ISGKC, insha'allah.

We are asking a $50 donation in check to arrange this IFTAR for 400 plus people. This donation will be collected in greater Kansas city area for the IFTAR/Dinner. We are also planning to do a fund-raising in the Masjid after dinner in support of ISGKC. We are counting on your support in this great cause.

ISGKC serves us many ways in our community and we owe it to ourselves to support ISGKC in this month of Ramadan. ISGKC provides much of the leadership in Muslim affairs in this area, facilitates Eid prayers, Friday prayers, daily prayers, funeral services, an accredited full-time Islamic school and other services to name a few.

May Allah forgives all our sins and accepts all our good deeds in this month of Ramadan.
