American Muslims Respond: Fundraiser for Victims' Families

June 13, 2016

We wish to respond to evil with good, as our faith instructs us, and send a powerful message of compassion through action. Our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said: "Have mercy to those on earth, and the One in the Heavens (God) will have mercy upon you." And the Quran teaches to "Repel evil by that which is better" (41:34).

All fundraising proceeds will help with the immediate, short-term needs of the grieving families. No amount of money will bring back their loved ones, but we do hope to lessen their burden in some way.

CAIR Florida will send 100% of funds collected through this campaign to the victims and the families of the victims to support and help those families most affected by the tragic events that unfolded on June 12, 2016 in our community.
