Dawah & convert care: many reverts are extremely grateful to the individual who allowed us to reflect on the concept of god, to initiate our thought process on what it means to be muslim. This is our method to pay it forward. Ojala foundation sets up shop at various locations across chicago to invite people to learn about islam and muslims and welcome them to reflect on their own connection with the creator. Literature and material are distributed free of charge, extending to any individual who requests material through mail or virtual resources. Dawah is the responsibility of every muslim and an honor to fulfill. Our efforts continue to reach people who might have never considered islam. We are proof that it can be, that the journey might be difficult but that it is fruitful and possible. The journey has been taken by every member, whether born muslim or found through other's efforts of dawah. Through dialogue and education, we hope to bring a better understanding of our faith and build a stronger relationship with the diverse community in chicago.
All other community programs which are run time to time.
