Give
Every dollar given through ISGH stays in Greater Houston: food and rent for families, free care at Shifa clinics, open masajid and dignified burials.
What Allah says about giving
مَّثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنۢبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِى كُلِّ سُنۢبُلَةٍ مِّا۟ئَةُ حَبَّةٍ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُضَـٰعِفُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allāh is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allāh multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.”
Membership dues help run 22 Islamic Centers – prayers, schools, youth nights and Ramadan programs.
Members elect the Board and zone leaders who decide where community funds go.
Zakat given to ISGH is distributed to eligible families in Greater Houston, interviewed and verified by staff.
We publish what your giving did – programs, numbers and stories shared with permission.
