Community Outreach

The Community Outreach Team is committed to promoting understanding, service, and connection through meaningful engagement with our broader community. Guided by Islamic values of compassion, justice, and unity, we aim to uplift individuals and build bridges across faiths and cultures.

Volunteer Activities
ISG Volunteers from various backgrounds like Scholars, Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers, Scientists and Diplomats generously contribute their time and talents to support our masjid activities and functions, driven by their Iman, values, and a sincere desire to help others. They seek no monetary compensation, instead finding fulfillment in making a positive impact on the community. Their efforts embody the Islamic principles of justice, compassion, and service expecting a reward only from our Creator Allah SWT.
