Letters of Hope

Every year, the Dar-us-Salaam Islamic Information Center receives hundreds of heartfelt, handwritten letters from prison inmates across the United States. Their universal request? Islamic books to help them in their journey to better understand our religion. And at the center, we are often stuck with a lack of funds to support the expenses of purchasing and mailing out the literature, in response to their requests.  

About the Islamic Information Center

So, what can you do? 

On average, one book on the Seerah of the Prophet (sallaAllahu alayhi wa sallam) or the fundamentals of prayer costs $10. That's not too hefty of a price to pay for an ultimate investment in your Hereafter, a sadaqah jaariyah, and the enlightenment and aid of a Muslim in need. One beneficial book could mean everything to someone incarcerated, as in the words of a brother, "Anything will help...and I pray that your Niyyah to help us is the last blessing that get[s] to you [benefits you] in the Hereafter, and that Allah's blessings are given to you in this life and the next. "  

With that Du'aa in mind, we urge you to donate to this project in whatever capacity you are able. Indeed, everything and anything will help this cause, and may Allah (azza wa jall) count your effort as a hefty weight in your scale of good deeds. Ameen. And don't forget, the reward of Sadaqah (charity) given in the month of Ramadan is multiplied tremendously! 

Sincerely,

The DUS Islamic Information Center
