Thank you to every one of our stakeholders, friends, attendees, and partners who made this year’s pioneering event a truly special one!

The current pandemic is all about adapting and innovating – so we are grateful for all of the amazing support we received during our Virtual Black-Tie Gala last week! Although different, it was still a lot of fun. And (Alhamdullilah), we exceeded our fundraising goals for the evening! THANK YOU!

We enjoyed high-caliber speakers, energetic engagement from YOU - and all of our stakeholders - who helped us raise critical funds to support our mission: to advance equality and justice for American Muslim organizations and individuals by promoting legal compliance and protecting their rights in matters concerning national security law.

We are sincerely grateful to all our sponsors for their generous contributions to an incredible evening. A heartfelt thank you also goes to Khalid Turaani, who served as emcee for the evening and who stepped in for us last minute when Dr. Osama Abuirshaid could not join us. Dr. Osama did send YOU a message, however, and we will share his message with you in the upcoming weeks.

We also wanted to recognize and celebrate the courageous and often underrepresented voices of our beneficiaries. You heard from Khalid Turaani, Hemza Lefsih, and we were brought to tears by Noor Salman's testimony. It is not easy to recount their experiences, so we thank you for holding them in you prayers along with your gifts.

Our theme this year was “Angels Await” and many of you asked us “Why - The Angels Await”?

As you know, the mission of MLFA is entirely about justice and Allah (SWT) says in the Qur’an, “Believers! Be upholders and standard-bearers of justice...” (4:135)

We knew our gala wasn't going to be just any other gala. We knew that since this historical event was especially geared towards exemplifying the true meaning of justice, that our night was:

By the will of Allah;

A night of spirituality.
A night of barakah.
A night in which angels were present with us.

We are grateful that so many of you generously supported – and continue to support -- our cause in a myriad of ways. You are making a difference in the lives of those who come to us -- in their darkest hour. We cannot look away -- and are grateful for the love and courage you deliver by coming forward in support of the work that funds justice for ALL.

If you missed the live gala, it's not too late to donate! Please view the recording of our special night here!

Sincerely,
