With nearly 50 percent of Michigan residents vaccinated for COVID-19 and pandemic restrictions lifting, communities are returning to traditional forms of holiday celebrations. But for the second year in a row, an important Islamic tradition has been curtailed worldwide by the pandemic.
IONA participates in “Feed Their Legacy” national food drive to honor Deah, Yusor, and Razan, bright, young charitable Muslims who were killed by their neighbor in an apparent hate crime. Their effort at helping others in need is being carried on by others in their memory as a continuous charity. IONA along with many other mosques and community centers in Michigan collected food items to be
distributed to needy families during this upcoming Ramadan. Zaman International in Inkster, Michigan will head the effort of distribution.
Thousands of food items were collected and sorted by volunteers. A great effort showing Muslims’ charity toward others.
