Chicago – April 06, 2024
More than 750 Muslims pass away in the Greater Chicagoland area each year. Average cost of a funeral is between 4,500- 6,000 dollars. (Funeral director fee , funeral home fee, grave site expense). Giving a Shariah compliant burial to a deceased Muslim is a communal obligation. Unfortunately, many Muslim families find it very difficult to afford a burial. Average grave site expense in a cemetery is between 2,800-3,600 dollars.
American Muslim Cemetery is the first of its kind in Illinois launching this Ramadan. It is managed on a “Masjid Model” it will serve all Muslims irrespective of their ability to pay. The Ummah will buy the cemetery with donations and all Muslims will use the cemetery. No one will have to be concerned about being able to afford a sunnah burial-InshaAllah.
The AMC will save upto $4000 for every Muslim burial making the total savings of about $5 million per annum. This great service for the Muslim community is an outstanding initiative. As the Holy month of Ramadan is ending, it is a great opportunity for all Muslims to donate funds for this great cause. Donate as much as you can to AMC and get rewarded by Allah.
The AMC needs urgent funds to complete their last section of the project. CPN and AMC appeals all Muslims and Non-Muslims to donate to this cause and help us help others in need.
