On Saturday, August 9, 2025, our community members gathered at Dar-us-Salaam to meet with the Shura regarding updates on all departments, and the floor was opened for everyone to give their advice and ask questions.This meeting, held every six months at Dar-us-Salaam, ensures community involvement— because Dar-us-Salaam’s mission to build an Islamic model community cannot be fulfilled without the advice and feedback of its members.
