Our current cemetery is almost out of space. We've just purchased new land to expand the cemetery for decades to come. Can you help us develop it? Please donate generously.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said:

من حفر لميت قبرًا فأجنَّه فيه أجرى اللهُ له من الأجرِ كأجرِ مَسكنٍ أسكنَه إلى يومِ القيامةِ

“Whoever digs a grave for a deceased person and buries him, will receive the reward of giving him a place to reside in until the Day of Judgment.”

(Saheeh al-Targheeb 3492 – Graded Saheeh by Al-Albaani)

We were invited to speak on a podcast to discuss our struggle for justice. You can hear the whole podcast here.

"A charity encounters surprising roadblocks to building a new cemetery for low-cost Muslim burials in Stafford County, Virginia. In this episode, host Allan Marks follows the cemetery’s path to justice with the lawyers who handled the civil rights case, Tawfiq Rangwala and Melanie Westover Yanez, and their pro bono client, the All Muslim Association of America, at the intersection of religious freedom, land use, and local politics in America today."
