Alhamdulillah, Ramadan is upon us—the month of mercy, forgiveness, and generosity. At Masjid As-Sunnah in Grand Rapids, Michigan, one of the most beautiful traditions we uphold each year is gathering together every evening to break our fast as a community.
But providing daily Iftar meals for an entire month requires significant resources, and we cannot do it alone. That is why we are reaching out to you—our brothers, sisters, neighbors, and supporters—to help make this Ramadan’s Iftar program a success.
The Vision: No One Breaks Their Fast Alone
Every night during Ramadan, families arrive at the masjid—some who have been fasting all day with little at home, some who are new to the community and looking for connection, some who are elderly and rely on the masjid as their lifeline. The Iftar table is where all of these lives intersect. It is where strangers become brothers. It is where children see the beauty of community in Islam. It is where the sunnah comes alive.
Our goal this Ramadan is simple: provide a warm, nutritious Iftar meal every single evening for the entire month.
Fundraising Goal: $4,500
We have set a fundraising goal of $4,500 to cover the cost of daily Iftar meals throughout Ramadan. This covers ingredients, preparation, supplies, and logistics to serve our growing community each night. At roughly $150 per evening, your contribution—no matter the size—directly translates into plates of food on the table for those who are fasting.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever provides food for a fasting person to break his fast with, then he will have the same reward as the fasting person, without anything being diminished from the reward of the fasting person.”
— Sahih, related by al-Tirmidhi (no. 807), authenticated by al-Albānī in Sahīh al-Targhīb (no. 1087)
This is not just a fundraiser. It is an opportunity to earn immense reward. By feeding those who fast, you share in their reward without anything being taken away from them. SubhanAllah—what a mercy from Allah.
How You Can Help
There are three ways you can make a difference this Ramadan:
1. Donate. Whether it’s $10 or $1,000, every dollar feeds someone who is fasting. Use any of the methods below—we’ve made it easy to give however works best for you.
2. Sponsor a Full Iftar Night. For $100-250, you can sponsor an entire evening’s meal. Imagine the reward of feeding every person who walks through our doors that night.
3. Share. If you cannot donate right now, share this post, share our flyer, share our GoFundMe link. The Prophet ﷺ told us that guiding someone to good is like doing that good yourself. Your share could be the reason an entire Iftar is funded.
