Igniting Compassion, Transforming Lives
In the spirit of Ramadan 2023, a group of friends came together and experienced a profound connection with Allah SWT. As we fasted, prayed Taraweeh, and engaged in acts of giving, we felt a divine calling to spread the message of Islam and extend our charity to those in need. The immense joy and fulfillment we experienced from donating to existing charities inspired us to create something extraordinary.
With unwavering devotion and after seeking guidance from Allah SWT through prayer, we decided to pool our skills and business acumen to establish Nur Upon Nur, a charitable organization that aims to uplift our Muslim brothers and sisters living in extreme poverty. It deeply saddened us to realize that some individuals lack even the basic necessities of life, such as the food that we, as American Muslims, discard after our iftar meals during Ramadan.
We are fueled by gratitude for our parent's generation, who laid the foundation for the vibrant American Muslim community we enjoy today. They toiled relentlessly, with blood, sweat, and tears, to create mosques and places of worship where we can find solace and strengthen our faith. We are eternally grateful for the tasks and responsibilities they shouldered, bestowed upon them by Allah SWT.
Through Nur Upon Nur, we strive to honor our predecessors by carrying forward their spirit of selflessness and community-building. We channel our passion and resources to support those in desperate need, striving to provide them with sustenance, comfort, and hope. Our goal is to ensure that no Muslim is left behind, as we firmly believe that it is our duty to extend a helping hand to our fellow believers.
Join us on this transformative journey as we ignite compassion and bring about real change. Together, we can be the guiding light that illuminates the lives of our brothers and sisters in need.
