Serving Oshkosh

Following the motto Love for All, Hatred for None, members of the Oshkosh Jama’at serve their neighbors throughout the year.

Service

• Lajna Ima’illah (women) volunteer at local food pantries, collect school backpacks, support Toys for Tots and run a winter coat drive.
• Khuddam and Ansar (men) take part in highway clean-ups and organize blood drives through Muslims for Life.

Interfaith and outreach

• Interfaith symposiums at the mosque, including a discussion with St. Raphael the Archangel Catholic Church on how faith shapes society.
• The Interfaith Festival of Gratitude, which the mosque has helped host with a potluck dinner for people of all faiths.
• Open mosque days and “Real Talk on Islam” sessions where anyone can ask questions about Islam.
• Eid celebrations shared with neighbors, and a virtual interfaith iftar during the pandemic.
• Working with local police on culturally aware training.
