Volunteering

 

Volunteering is the lifeblood of any community. It is because of volunteers that communities are able to run religious organizations, social services, conferences, playgroups, feed the hungry, shelter the homeless and the list goes on.

Volunteering is a beneficial and productive form of Sadaqa, or helping give to those in need. Not only are you benefitting others, you are earning reward and learning how to become more productive in your everyday life. As Muslims, our role is not limited to making our Salah and fast and pay Zakah. We are encouraged to take on a broader role by working to improve the communities we live in. It is by translating our love of Allah into good actions that we strengthen our iman. Islam is a faith of action and we need to demonstrate our faith by working to make the world a better place.

EIC organizes events and activities that require the assistance of volunteers in various areas. This is your Masjid, our programs and events depend on your commitment. An informal general body meeting is held on a regular basis on Saturday morning after Fajr. You can learn about the upcoming programs and plans.

If you wish to help your community in the organization of such events or would like to participate in volunteer activities please contact us at info@eicsanjose.org
