SPECIAL PUBLIC SERVICE INFORMATION REGARDING ENCOUNTERS WITH ICE AGENTS
It is an unfortunate reality that all Americans, both citizens and non-citizens are experiencing the increased possibility of being directly involved in encounters with ICE agents. Such encounters have been documented for cities here in North Carolina at multiple locations, to include places of worship. Please know that it is the official position of the Islamic Center of Fayetteville to do whatever we can, within legal bounds, to protect and advocate for the rights of our religious organization as well as for anyone attending services on our property. Toward that objective we are providing the below link to the North Carolina ACLU which provides information regarding how to advocate and protect your rights should you have to encounter ICE agents. Please familiarize yourself with your rights in advance of such an encounter and share this information with others who may benefit from it.

Knowledge is power! For a nonpartisan analysis of the modern history of the Palestine conflict, please check out the United Nations’ historical record as posted on their website by clicking on the below link. Most individuals who claim to speak with authority on this issue, to include most of our politicians and leaders, are totally ignorant of these facts or willfully ignore them. May Allah help us all better understand the wrongs that have been perpetrated against the Palestinian people and the world.
The modern state of Israel was created in 1948. This is what the official map of the area looked like in 1947 before the people of Palestine were made to pay the bill for what Nazi Germany did to the Jewish people.
May Allah protect the innocent people of the world from the aggression of oppressors whoever they may be. And May He help us all to better understand and support the people of Palestine who continue to endure generational abuse and oppression. Alhumdulilah for the following Khutbah from Shaykh Yasir Qadhi to help us understand some of the historical truths regarding this situation.

ICF ORGANIZATION
ICF is a formally registered and chartered charitable religious organization recognized under the laws of the United States federal government as well as the state of North Carolina.
The Islamic Center of Fayetteville was established as an organization in 2008 for the purpose of establishing a masjid, school, and dawah center in a central location in the city of Fayetteville, North Carolina. From years of working and living in this city, the organization founders believed that there was a need for these services in this location.
Through significant personal efforts and financial contributions and local fundraising, ICF established its first physical location in a rented structure on Grove Street in 2008. In 2010 we moved operations to another rented location, and in 2011 we moved to yet another rental site at 607 German Street, Fayetteville, North Carolina. In just ten relatively short years, Allah Blessed us to purchase our current facility at 2415 Rosehill Road on August 23rd, 2018. At our new, and insha’Allah permanent facility, we hope to continue our regular activities which include hosting Jummah Salat every Friday, regular weekend Islamic study activities for children and adults, ICF community social activities, community outreach activities, Annual Islamic Conferences, an annual college scholarship program, and both Eid and janazah functions in participation with other local Islamic communities.
