Special Statements
Al Salam Alaykom AMI members, families, and community,
On November 10th, the AMI hosted “A Night to Support Palestine”. The community came together in solidarity and prayer for the Palestinian people. The AMI launched a fundraiser, and with Allah’s blessings, we raised $42,096, which we donated to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. The community raised $37,096, and as promised, the AMI board $5000—Jazakom Allah Khayran for all those who donated and contributed to making this a successful event.
May this donation reach the impacted people in Gaza and alleviate some of their suffering. May it have Baraka and reach more people than we could hope for. May God reward all those who donated and contributed to this cause.
We continue to pray for Palestine, for a ceasefire, and all those suffering all around the world. Ameen.
The American Muslim Institute abhors the genocide of Palestinians that we and the world are witnessing in Gaza and the raids in the West Bank by the Israeli army. Collective punishment in the form of genocide on civilians is not self defense. We call on President Biden and the state of Nebraska Congressional delegation to force a ceasefire and to end this before thousands more Palestinians are wantonly killed.
