Normally, the budgets for the current year are collected before the year starts but this year we are late. We are in 3rd month of the year (Nov-Oct) and a lot of Khuddam have still not submitted their budgets. The MKA constitution requires every Khadim to submit their chanda budget (i.e. your pledge based on your income).  MKA Chanda rate is 1.2083% of your net income for earning khuddam and $60 per year for unemployed khuddam. This includes both chanda majlis and ijtema. Everyone must submit their budget regardless of their earning status. Submit your budget now. Those who are unable to pay according to prescribed rate are advised to apply for chanda remission rather than submitting an inaccurate budget. You will get the option to request a lower rate (with a reason) at the end of the budget form. why is it important to submit an accurate budget? Submit Budget *please note: The MKA Chanda is not the only chanda you have to pay....

Take time off for Jummu'ah Hazrat Abu Ja’d al-Dhamri narrates that the Messenger of Allah (sas) has said:“Whosoever misses three Jumu’ah prayers by taking the matter lightly, Allah will seal his heart.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, Sunan Tirmidhi, Sunan Nasa’i, Sunan Ibn Majah and al-Darami) Let’s start the school year right by making a conscious effort to take time off for Jumu’ah every Friday. It is vital that we value the importance that Jummu'ah has in our life. The Holy Prophet (sas) likened Jummu'ah to Eid. You wouldn't let your daily schedule interfere with your Eid prayers, would you? Let's heed the warning of our Prophet (sas) by taking time off from our jobs or schools to attend Jummu'ah prayer. Please utilize the excuse letter below from Sadr MKA to attend Jummu'ah as often as possible. Excuse Letter ...

"Whoever parts with some of his wealth for the sake of Allah, will surely get it back. But he who loves his wealth and doesn’t serve in the way of Allah as he should, will surely lose his wealth. Do not ever imagine that your wealth comes of your own effort, no, it comes from Allah Almighty. And do not ever imagine that you do a favor to Allah or his Appointed One by offering your money or helping in any other way. Rather it is His favor upon you that he calls you to this service.” -(Promised Messiah, Majmuah Ishtaharat Vol 3 Pg. 497) “If you acquire more income after the Budget has been drawn, you must not continue paying according to the Budget. Rather you must pay in relation to the blessings which Allah has showered upon you. If our dealings with Allah are straightforward, He,...

A Righteous Model   As vouchsafed by the Holy Qur’an, Allah’s promise is that He has provided us with everything we need in our lives—both physically and spiritually. While the physical needs are apparent, it is through more specific manifestations of Allah's words and signs that our spiritual needs are tended to.A Sign of Allah is the translation of a Friday sermon by Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IV (rht), which covers one of these manifestations. From excelling in the world by being the only person to have been president of both the United Nations General Assembly and the International Court of Justice, to thriving spiritually with his steadfast loyalty to khilafat, Hazrat Chaudhry Muhammad Zafrullah Khan (ra) stands as a sign of Allah. His example is one which Hudhur (rht) desires for us to adopt and practice. Without a doubt, A Sign of Allah is a treasure trove of guidance and inspiration in the details of Hazrat sahib's...

There was once a man who lived below the standard he could have.  He could have lived as a king in fact, but he was a servant. People would gather at his home on a daily basis because they knew he'd never turn them away.  He always found something to give in their hand.  This person was the Holy Prophet (sa).  In America today, 1 in 6 struggle with hunger.  Among African Americans and Latinos, it's 1 in 3.  Today, these are the people who stand at your door. MKA is proudly holding it's 5th Annual "Walk For Humanity" this Saturday, Oct 1st in 5 cities. We are fighting hunger and based on the directives of Khalifatul Masih (aba) 50% of funds raised will go to Humanity First, USA and 50% to local community charities.  Our goal is to raise $100,000, and so far we've reached about $40,000.
