Future ICCNC Programs and COVID-19
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Dear ICCNC Supporters and Community Members,
As you know, the spread of COVID-19 will prevent future events at ICCNC. Most likely, the COVID-19 problem will be with us for the next few months, well beyond the month of Ramadan. Therefore, the ICCNC Board of Directors announces the following:
During this challenging period, our community needs to be engaged more than any other time. Therefore, ICCNC has decided to move the future programs and events to the internet and use a video conferencing/meeting platform to continue our programs and keep the community engaged. Please stay tuned for further information on this.
In the near future some people will face financial difficulties due to job loss and other economic hardships. Part of our Islamic responsibilities is to help one another and vulnerable ones in the greater community, such as the elderly, sick, and homeless. If anyone is facing an emergency economic hardship they should send an email to hap@iccnc.org to see if they qualify for the ICCNC Hardship Assistance Program (HAP).
One of the ways to protect ourselves and loved ones from COVID-19 is by boosting our immunity system through sleeping and eating well and reducing our anxiety levels by walking in nature, exercising, praying, and reciting Quran during the holy month of Rajab and Shaban.
Please follow the latest CDC.gov and local health department's recommendations for social distancing.
We welcome your suggestion on how to help the community and increase our community bonds and engagement during this difficult time. Please send us your ideas to info@iccnc.org.
We need to pray for one another’s well being by reciting this due from Imam Sajjad (as). This prayer is the first part of dua Number 23 from the Sahifa Sajjadiya.
O God, bless Muhammad and his Household,
clothe me in Your well-being, wrap me in Your well-being,
fortify me through Your well-being, honor me with Your well-being,
free me from need through Your well-being, donate to me Your well-being,
bestow upon me Your well-being, spread out for me Your well-being,
set Your well-being right for me, and separate me not from Your well-being
in this world and the next!
O God, bless Muhammad and his Householdهِ
and make me well with a well-being sufficient, healing, sublime, growing,
a well-being that will give birth to well-being in my body,
a well-being in this world and the next!
