Everybody will be shaded by his Sadaqah (on the Day of Judgment) until it has been judged between the people
"Hasten to give charity, for it protects you from calamities." (Mishkat al-Masabih)
Enjoining good and forbidding evil is also charity. And guiding a lost person is also charity for you." (Sunan Tirmidhi)
Rohingya refugees who moved to the United States now live in many different states — not just one. You’ll find them in Chicago, Milwaukee, New York, Fort Wayne (Indiana), and more and more families across Texas. Each city has its own story of struggle and starting over.
In 2017, the military in Myanmar attacked the Rohingya people. In just a few weeks, hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims had to run for their lives into Bangladesh. The United Nations and human rights groups call this ethnic cleansing.
Today, more than 1.3 million Rohingya live in Cox’s Bazar — the biggest refugee camp in the world. There’s not enough clean water, not enough healthcare, and for many children, going to school is almost impossible.
“Growing up without a country, without a passport — that is the daily reality for a whole generation of Rohingya children.”

Many Rohingya families who came to the U.S.A have settled in Texas, including here in Rowlett. They started over with almost nothing — just hope and faith. Staying close to Islam in a new country is hard. Kids need to learn Qur’an, get a good Islamic education, eat halal food, have mentors, and feel safe.
At ICR, Rohingya children learn Qur’an, get Islamic education, and grow good character in a safe, caring place. ICR is also where the community comes together — for the five daily prayers, Jumu’ah, and programs that help families, youth, and future generations.
Your du’a, your sadaqah, your time — can help a family find “home” again. Because those who once had no country should never have to feel they belong nowhere.
