Eid Toy Drive!
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “Give each other gifts and you will love each other.”

We are very pleased to announce that MAPS is partnering with Seattle Children’s Hospital to make this Ramadan and Eid a memorable one for all its young patients. Our community will be donating 300 toys for Eid to all children at 3 different Seattle Children’s locations Insha-Allah. Muslim children the world over receive gifts on Eid day in a universal and beautiful tradition going back hundreds of years. This year, we plan on bringing this joy to the children at Seattle Children’s Insha-Allah.

We are asking the community to help make this program a success:

  1. Please purchase 1 or 2 gifts (max price of $25) from the approved list below 
  2. Either, drop the gifts at MAPS Library before April 19th; or
  3. Have Amazon deliver the gifts to MAPS before April 19th [address: 17550 NE 67th Ct, Redmond, WA 98052]

Please do not send or drop the gifts directly to Seattle Children’s.


We will collect all gifts and distribute them with Seattle Children’s staff on:

  • Tuesday, April 26 from 11am – 2pm in the Odessa Brown Central District Clinic lobby
  • Wednesday, April 27 from 11am – 2pm in the Odessa Brown Othello Clinic lobby 
  • Thursday, April 28 from 11am – 2pm in the hospital lobby (main entrance)


If you would like to volunteer for this activity, please contact education@mapsredmond.org.

We thank you in advance for your generous contribution and for bringing a smile to a young patient this Ramadan and this Eid. May Allah SWT bless your Ramadan and bring much joy to you and your family on this Eid too.

Iftar Sponsorhips
As we move into our new normal following the past two years, MAPS is once again planning singles Iftars on weekdays and community Iftars on weekends (Fri/Sat) during the blessed month of Ramadan 2022, insha'Allah. The cost of Iftar is $15 per plate.
 
MAPS will additionally sponsor up to $30,000 for Iftar at the Ethiopian Muslims Association of Seattle (EMAS) and the Muslim American Youth Foundation (MAYF) of Seattle. These are neighboring communities that are in need and sponsorship will benefit them immensely.
 
If you’re interested in sponsoring Iftar at MAPS or the Seattle communities, please sign up and make your donation at the following links:


A QR Code for Iftar signup will also be posted throughout the masjid.
 
If you plan on sponsoring Iftar for a day and want to make special arrangements, please contact manager@mapsredmond.org.
 
May Allah SWT accept our fasting and prayers and reward us immensely during this blessed month.
Ramadan Childcare
MAPS is offering childcare for 4 to 7 yr olds during Isha and Taraweeh prayers on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays in the MPR Room!

Please make sure to be present at the prayers when leaving your children with us; do not leave them at MAPS and go elsewhere. JazakAllah for your understanding!
