MAPS Seattle Address:

Assalaamu Alaikum,
Ramadan Kareem! (Wishing you a generous and blessed Ramadan.)
As we enter this sacred month, we are grateful for the many opportunities it brings—both to strengthen our connection with Allah and to deepen our bonds as a community. Ramadan is a time of reflection, growth, and unity, and we look forward to sharing it with you.
Our teams at MAPS Redmond, MAPS Seattle, and MAPS Snohomish County have put together a diverse lineup of spiritual and social activities to enrich your Ramadan experience. Additionally, MAPS Redmond is hosting an Interfaith Iftar on Saturday, 3/9 at 5:30 PM and MAPS Snohomish is hosting one on Friday, 3/7. These events offer a meaningful way to invite your co-workers, neighbors, school principals, teachers, and friends to experience the beauty of Ramadan alongside us.
I encourage you to explore this booklet for details on all our programs and bring your families to participate. With increased foot traffic at all our locations, we kindly ask for your cooperation with our volunteers to ensure a smooth, safe, and welcoming experience for everyone.
This Ramadan, we also seek your support in our expansion project. As our community continues to grow, so does the need for more space to accommodate prayers, programs, and events. The expansion into our new building will allow us to serve even more families and strengthen our community’s foundation. Your generosity in this blessed month can leave a lasting impact—please consider contributing to this vital initiative.
At the same time, let us keep our brothers and sisters in Gaza in our hearts and prayers as they endure unimaginable hardship. May Allah SWT ease their suffering, grant them justice and freedom, and reunite them with their homes.
If there is anything we can do to support you this Ramadan, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to serve you and will do our best to accommodate your needs, Insha’Allah (God willing).
Jazakum Allahu Khairan (May Allah SWT reward you all),
Mohammad N. Vakil
President, MAPS Board of Directors
