Today was a deeply moving moment as the children gathered together for prayer. The room grew quiet, not from instruction, but from shared focus and calm. Small hands were raised, eyes gently closed, and hearts opened in a moment of reflection and hope. For these children, prayer time is more than a routine. It is a safe space—a moment to pause, to breathe, and to feel connected to something greater than themselves. In prayer, they find comfort, strength, and reassurance that

During a recent visit to Taiwan, Lily Jay attended a Jesus exhibition that unexpectedly became a deeply moving spiritual experience—one that crossed faith boundaries and left a lasting impression. What began as a visit rooted in curiosity and interfaith understanding turned into a powerful moment of reflection, dialogue, and transformation.

The children are eating their meal together. Plates are served, and each child is taking time to enjoy their food while sharing the space with their friends. Watching them eat together highlights the simple joys of daily life—something many of us take for granted. Meal times like this are more than just about food. They provide the children with essential nutrition that helps them stay healthy and active, while also creating a sense of routine, stability, and security. Eating

Today, children at the local care center received their very own copies of the Holy Qur'an. Excitement and curiosity filled the room as they carefully held the books, exploring the pages and engaging with the text for the first time. This distribution provides more than just educational material; it opens a direct path to literacy, deep reflection, and independent spiritual growth. Having a personal copy gives each child a sense of ownership, responsibility, and foundational

Today, the children are engaged in their Quran lessons. Pages turn carefully as each child recites verses, receiving gentle guidance and encouragement throughout the session. These moments are about more than just reading—they teach patience, concentration, and respect, while strengthening a sense of community among the children. Older children naturally step forward to help younger ones, voices blend in recitation, and little achievements spark smiles of pride. Through these

During my recent visit to North Cyprus, I stepped into one of the island’s most extraordinary landmarks: the Selimiye Mosque in Lefkoşa. It’s a place where history, faith, and architecture blend in a way that almost stops time. Walking up to it, you immediately feel the weight of centuries. The towering structure, originally built as the Cathedral of Saint Sophia in the 13th century, still carries the unmistakable aura of a grand medieval church. When the Ottomans took contro

Today we witnessed something truly heart-melting. Lily Jay’s young nephew, a white, English-speaking boy who doesn’t come from an Arabic background, confidently and recited one of the most beautiful verses of the Qur’an: “إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ، وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ…”(Surah Al-Ahzab 33:35) And he didn’t just read it, he recited it with clarity, beauty, and incredible tajwīd. For his age, his voice and pronunciation were beyond impressive. Every let

This is one of the hardest posts I’ve ever had to write. Just 2 Days ago, my brother Ozzie passed away after a sudden and aggressive battle with cancer. He was a man of deep faith, kindness, and purpose. A revert to Islam who dedicated his life to helping others. Even in his final days, lying in a hospital bed, he never stopped thinking about the people of Palestine. Before his Death we had one final video call. His last message to me still echoes in my heart: “FREE PALESTIN

This month, a specialized fresh water system was successfully completed in Nepal to honor the memory of a respected individual. Built as a Sadaqah Jariyah (continuous legacy), this fresh water infrastructure will provide flowing blessings and resources to local residents for years to come.

Our team on the ground has been able to extend water trucks, tanks, and vital aid to areas previously unreached. These camps now have access to fresh, safe water, a blessing many had gone without for far to
