Help Millions Know the Prophet ﷺ Through Films, Classes & Campaigns




Our Prophet ﷺ said: 

"The best of charity is that given in Ramadan." 

"Charity does not decrease wealth."

"Charity erases sins as water extinguishes fire."

"Give charity without delay, for it prevents misfortunes."

 
Help Millions to Know Him ﷺ

"A person will be with the one he loves." This is what our Prophet Muhammad said about the Day of Judgment. To be with the Prophet ﷺ in the Next Life, we should fall in love with him. And how can we love someone we don't know? 

Today you can help millions to know our Prophet ﷺ. 
You can gift our Prophet ﷺ in Ramadan.

CelebrateMercy is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with one goal: to teach about the Prophet's life and character. We do this through our words and actions; that is, through our programs and campaigns

Before Ramadan ends, we urgently need your help to reach our Ramadan goal of raising $400,000 to continue and grow our programs and campaigns. We need to raise $150,000 in the last 150 hours. 

Even though our work has reached over 100 million people, many don't realize the high costs involved in producing our videos, events and campaigns. When telling our Prophet's story, we strive to do so beautifully without cutting corners. He deserves nothing less from us. Help us make history by sharing his story ﷺ.

What is CelebrateMercy?

CelebrateMercy is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that teaches about the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ's life and character - to Muslims and the general public. We do this through short films, online campaigns, traveling conferences, and webinars that feature world-renowned speakers and scholars on Islam.  

In 8 years, CelebrateMercy has:

  • Reached 100 million people through national media coverage
  • Held 25 events for 100,000 participants in 115 countries
  • Produced 200+ videos with 6 million views on YouTube & Facebook
  • Generated social media posts leading to 650,000 subscribers
In the past year, we ramped up the frequency of our traveling conferences, reaching thousands in multiple states. Our recent Prophet-inspired campaign mobilized Muslims to repair vandalized Jewish cemeteries and synagogues, raising over $160,000. News of this campaign reached millions through outlets like CNN The New York Times and tweets by celebrities like Ellen Degeneres. See our CNN interview below: 

Our short films on the Prophet's life feature cinematic Seerah re-enactments and 20 speakers including Yusuf Islam, Imam Zaid Shakir, and Dalia Mogahed; view one example here.

Why We're Raising Funds
l

Our Ramadan target is to raise $400,000 for our 2018/2019 programs. We're just over 50% there and need to raise $150,000 in these last 150 hours. To read a detailed description of these projects, please click here

Our Next Campaign & Film

This Ramadan, CelebrateMercy is focusing much of its fundraising on our next campaign and film. This will be a game-changing campaign that will inspire Muslims nationwide to form meaningful relationships with next-door neighbors - all inspired by the Prophet Muhammad's example. An Emmy-winning film director - Joshua Seftel - has agreed to film a documentary about our campaign (see his Wikipedia page here). Here is a short video of Josh introducing himself at a recent CelebrateMercy event: 



The Value of Transforming Lives? Priceless.

CelebrateMercy's programs have impacted lives in ways we never expected; we know this from the hundreds of surveys we've received. So many Muslims have re-connected and fallen in love with the Prophet ﷺ. Non-Muslim viewers have learned more about him, gaining a newfound respect for his legacy. And some people, like Jay Richards, have even embraced Islam! Click here to read Jay's story. 

One webinar viewer said:

"At a time when I was in my darkest moments since reverting to Islam in 2009, when I was on the edge, close to leaving Islam, this webcast has renewed my faith. It has made me look at the Prophet (pbuh) in an entirely different way then I could have ever imagined, and I must say, I am truly in love...This webcast has changed my life!"

Imam Shafi'i about tonight

Salam,

Imam Shafi'i said that there are 5 nights when duas are accepted. Tonight - the 1st night of Eid - is one of them. 

CelebrateMercy is hosting a special Ramadan Farewell Dua session tonight to close out the month of Ramadan. Shaykh Yasir Fahmy will give final advice as we bid farewell to Ramadan then lead us in a dua in Arabic and English, begging Allah to accept our Ramadan worship; he'll also read dua requests from the audience. We expect thousands to tune in insha-Allah. Please see the flyer, info, and RSVP link below:


PS: CelebrateMercy is struggling to reach the finish line with our annual Ramadan fundraiser (we're at 90%). If you have benefited from our programs (80 webinars in 30 days) and you can help us sustain them year-round, please consider donating. We also send beautiful appreciation gifts to donors. It would be amazing to hit our goal by Eid day. 

Please let me know if you have any questions, and please remember the CelebrateMercy team in your dua!

Salaam, 

The CelebrateMercy Team
