  • Annual Report
    2016 ANNUAL REPORT Muslim Women for ALL Women 2 MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Assalaamu Alaikum (Peace Be Upon You), Dear Friends, Hind Jarrah, Ph.D. The year 2016 brought great accomplishments as well as difficult and sad times for TMWF. My prayers are that 2017 and the coming years bring peace, goodwill, and compassion to all. We continued to open our doors to all our brothers and sisters, from all faiths and communities, nationally as well as internationally. Victims of domestic violence (DV) with unique cultural and spiritual needs found an oasis of peace in our services and through our compassionate, dedicated, and committed counselors, case managers, and attorneys. Victims and their children moved out of the trauma and abyss of DV abuse, into a hope filled independ- ent state and triumphantly stood firm on their own two feet. Our Educational and Interfaith Outreach programs continued to build bridges of friendship and understanding. The Islamic Arts Revival Series 5th Annual Juried International Exhibition of Islamic Art was truly a success. We thank the amazing staff at the Irving Arts Center and the artists and speakers who participated. The Youth Leadership Development Program is needed now more than ever as it prepares the youth to become civically and socially engaged committed leaders of the future generation. Since the beginning of the TMWF Youth Leadership Development Program in 2007, over 500 youth have shown great leadership and participated in community service. We give a huge salute to TMWF’s generous, compassionate partner organizations, religious leaders and individuals who have put their faith in us.

  • Charitable Practices of Muslim Americans in the Greater Kansas City Area
    Charitable Practices of Muslim Americans in the Greater Kansas City Area By Joe Hall Submitted to the graduate degree program in Global and International Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson: Majid Hannoum ________________________________ Naima Boussofara ________________________________ Jessica Gerschultz Date Defended: January 29, 2014 The Thesis Committee for Joe Hall certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Charitable Practices of Muslim Americans in the Greater Kansas City Area ________________________________ Chairperson: Majid Hannoum Date approved: January 29, 2014 ii Abstract The purpose of this research is to explore the state of post-9/11 Muslim American philanthropy within The Greater Kansas City Area. Since 2001, the U.S. government has expanded its counterterrorism policies to target sources of terrorist funding and in particular the charitable sector. Many Muslim Americans practice the Islamic traditions of zakāt (obligatory alms) and ṣadaqah (discretionary charity) as a means of honoring faith, strengthening the community and preserving religious identity. There is a perception, however, that these practices are in direct conflict with U.S. counterterrorism policy. The outcome of the decade long War on Terrorism is telling; to date, The U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has shut down seven US-based Islamic charities and frozen over $2.3 billion in charitable assets (TAR, 2012: 2) in the effort to stem terrorist funding. These actions were taken under the auspices of national security, however, they gave a perception that U.S.

  • Community Health Assessment of Islamic Foundation North Nancy
    Community Health Assessment of Islamic Foundation North Nancy Romanchek, BSN, RN, CHPN, MPH Islam has been beautifully described as a clear river which takes on the color of the stones beneath as it passes over. The stones representing the race and culture of the faithful. Islam is the most wildly diverse religion on the planet. Of the 3.5 million Muslims living in the US, it has been estimated that at least 64% are immigrants from 76 different countries, and the only known faith community with no majority race. Therefore, from a cultural perspective, entering each Mosque in America is like entering a different country. Interpretations of the nuances of Islam as well as the community’s understanding and practice of health care and wellness are deeply influenced by cultural framing. This truth may be the source of confusion for many clinicians who attempt to apply their understanding of Muslim patients from one culture and become mystified when another Muslim family presents with an entirely different worldview. To further complicate matters, there is a gap in data about US Muslims, which is particularly apparent in the realm of health care. The best place to reach Muslims for preventative health needs is the Mosque Community where half of Muslims gather at least weekly to pray, socialize, and learn together. A comprehensive Community Health Assessment of each unique Mosque community is the first step for Faith Community Nurses to identify and address pressing health needs in the community. This Community Health Assessment is an analysis of Islamic Foundation North (IFN), a young, vibrant and expanding moderate Muslim community comprised of more than 300 families in the distant northwest suburbs of Chicago, Illinois.
