We are pleased to announce the launch of the Sakinah Network of Imams and Chaplains. This is a network of imams and chaplains collaborating to foster strong Muslim families, stop family violence, protect our children from neglect and broken homes, and our youth from drugs, gangs, and sex-trafficking.

On the Road to Sakinah
Our
collaborative social media campaign with #MyJihad is going on the entire month of
March. The campaign is focused on reclaiming our Prophet's peaceful example for
Muslim families. Alhamdulillah, we have reached thousands of people in less than
two weeks. We're asking community members to tweet pictures of themselves with #MyJihad
posters. More details and free posters here.

Communication is the Key to solve problems within Families
“We need to understand what
Islam is calling for in terms of family communication, raising children and dealing
with children especially with teenage children. We know families go through stress
and hard times but the solution to it is communications – Communication between
the parents, communication between the parents and children. That’s the way
to solve the problem.” - Hazem Gheith, MAS
Columbus
