Delaware Interfaith March at University of Delaware
Held on Sunday February 12 at 2:00 PM
Nearly 200 people came together, at an interfaith rally at Newark, to say with one voice that 'Refugees are Welcome Here'.Local event organizers hailed from a number of faith groups including Congregation Beth Emeth, Temple Beth El, the Islamic Society of Delaware, and New Ark United Church of Christ. These congregations are part of a broad coalition to support refugees in Delaware, which is led by Jewish Family Services of Delaware – the First State’s refugee resettlement agency.
The rally began at the New Ark United Church of Christ and marched up Main Street to the University of Delaware Green. Through various speakers, our interfaith community conveyed a very strong message that we stand in solidarity to make our faith voices heard peacefully in support of the families who have come here and those who hope to come here.
(The Delaware Interfaith March & Rally to Support Refugees was part of the 'National Day of Jewish Action For Refugees' - in support with Islamic society of Delaware and Newark United church of Christ.)

President's message for ISD Muslims Cemetery Project
Dear Bothers & Sisters, Assalam Alukum Wa Rahmatu Allahi Wa Barakatu
I would like to share with you a good news that one of our very important projects, The Muslims Cemetery Project, is approaching a positive conclusion. Many sincere brothers from our community has worked very hard for years to make this dream become a reality. The settlement for purchasing the land is scheduled to be at the end of this month, on February 24 at 3:00 pm. The Muslims Cemetery parcel is about 15 acres of land and located just across the border with PA, on Upper Oxford Township, about 25 minutes from our masjid. This 15 Acres of land insha' Allah will be the first Muslim Cemetery for Delaware and all surrounding areas for the next 100 years or more.
The price to purchase the land is 275K. ISD has on hand for this project till now about 235K. ISD needs about 40K to close by the end of this month. Therefore your help is needed to close this deal. This is a running charity that will help generations to come. May Allah (SWT) reward all of you for your generous donation.
Thank you for always being there for ISD and Jazakum Allahu Kul Khair.
Hassan A Mageid
President, Islamic Society of Delaware (ISD)
