Special Gneral Body Meeting Request

Dear ISW members and Al-salaamu alaykum, 

This is the final notification regarding the Special General Body Meeting (GBM) that was requested by some ISW members.

• On June 28^th, 2020, ISW announced that any General Body Meeting (GBM) will be posted via official ISW channels of communications.
• On July 12^th, 2020, ISW’s membership committee published the process to be used to call for a Special GBM and the Purpose of the Special GBM. 
• On July 18^th, 2020, ISW’s membership committee issued a reminder that July 24, 2020 5:00PM CST was the submittal due date for the special GBM petition.

The total number of petitions received by the membership committee is less than 1% of the total eligible ISW voting members. The 20% threshold required to move forward with the special GBM was not met and therefore, no special GBM (for the identified purpose) will be scheduled.

The membership committee wants to thank everyone that has participated. 

May Allah bless us all with peace, health, happiness, patience, strength and highest rank in Jannah. Wishing you and your family Eid Mubarak!

Respectfully,

Membership Committee

ISW and Black Lives Matter

Assalamu Alikum;

The Islamic Society of Wichita stands in solidarity with our brothers and sisters. We can not witness racism, discrimination and violence without calling our community to stand with the oppressed in support of true justice and condemn police brutality. We unconditionally believe that Black Lives Matter.

May Allah swt grant justice to the oppressed and grant relief to those who have suffered and currently suffer. 

"Oh believers! Stand firm for justice as witnesses for Allah even if it is aganist yourselves, your parents, or close relatives. Be they rich or poor, Allah is best to ensure interests. So do not let your desires cause you to deviate from justice. If you distort testimony or refuse to give it, then know that Allah is certainly All-Aware of what you do." Quran 4:135.

Assalamulaikum,

The ISW emergency committee regrets to inform you the masjid will be closed until further notice. To help slow and eventually stop the spread of COVID-19, no daily prayer services, Friday khutbahs, or committee programming will be held. The governor has declared Kansas under state of emergency; as well as the local Center for Disease Control announced no gatherings larger than 50 are allowed. 

This includes jummah prayers, the ISW annual bazaar, and all future programming until further notice. The emergency committee will continue to monitor the situation and update you as soon as possible. ISW employees are not allowed to open doors for members or the public; please respect the restrictions set by this emergency committee. 

We appreciate your understanding and support! May Allah swt grant all trust of Him and bless us with physical, mental, and spiritual wellness, Ameen.

Please help us protect your health and the health of our community, inshallah.

*We will update you with any changes via email and Facebook.
