Matrimonial service
A safe and Islamically appropriate way for Muslim singles to meet. Send in a profile and the committee reaches out if there is a suitable match. Profiles are kept confidential.
matrimony@isgtown.orgISG does not verify the background or intentions of anyone using the service; each person is responsible for getting to know a potential match and for their own safety. Report any concern to the committee straight away.
Janazah and burial
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un. When a loved one passes, call the funeral home and the cemetery, and let the masjid know for the janazah prayer.
Applying for zakat
Families in hardship can apply for zakat al-mal. Fill in the application and bring it to the ISG office with a state ID, last year’s income tax return, and any overdue bill.
Paying zakat
Zakat given to ISG is kept apart and passed only to those eligible to receive it.
