About This Cause
ICNA Relief By the Grace of God Almighty, we have a regular feed the hungry drive underway. It is organized by our dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers on middle and last Saturdays of every month. Allah has blessed us with the opportunity to serve the most basic of needs for the homeless and needy communities in Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose. We have fed over 25,000 underserved and/or homeless people since early last year (2007). The annual Abraham's Day, which coincides with Eid ul Adha, is celebrated as a day of goodwill towards mankind. ICNA Relief leads many Bay Area organizations to come out in support of the neediest among us by providing them food, clothes, blankets and other necessity items. ICNA Relief is expanding its activities beyond food drives to providing social services to the needy members of our community. This is done on a case-by-case basis. WhyIslam Post-911 has seen a drastic rise in Islamophobia and stereotyping of Muslims as terrorists and war-mongers. Most of the general public think and believe that Islam promotes violence and inequality of gender without knowing about it. The WhyIslam project was initiated to remove these misconceptions and promote a true and fair understanding of Islam, and to educate the general public about Islam to bring about a social and communal harmony. We believe that the reason for discord is the ignorance people have about Islam and its teachings. WhyIslam neither seeks to proselytize nor is associated with a religious or missionary institute. As part of the project ICNA volunteers organize booths at shopping malls, BART stations, fairs, flea markets, festivals, farmers' markets; radio, bus and subway ad campaigns and hosting of billboards, among other activities, to create awareness, understanding and tolerance for Islam.
