This Ramadan was truly a unique experience!
Though we couldn’t visit our friends and family for iftar, and the masjids (including Centro Islamico) were closed - our efforts to share Islam were ongoing and our toughness as a community shone through.
Thank you for all your support and because of you - we were able to provide content to thousands of people around the world in both English and Spanish!
Out of the 18 awesome programs we hosted for our community, here are just 5 of some of the amazing things we accomplished -all completely virtually:
Exclusive Series: In the Presence of Angels
We were honoured to partner with Yaqeen Institute in translating this great Ramadan series in Spanish, “In the Presence of Angels” - “En Presencia de los Ángeles”.
Through our collective collaboration with Yaqeen, this pillar of faith concerning the Angels can reach your Spanish-speaking neighbors, colleagues, friends and family!

Every day at 11 a.m, Imam Isa Parada shared daily tips and advice with our New-Muslim brothers and sisters who may have been experiencing Ramadan for the first couple times in their lives.

Virtual Community Iftars
Every Saturday, we got together with our IslamInSpanish community over Zoom to enjoy each others company as we broke our fast during the blessed month of Ramadan.
In addition to this, we also had weekly virtual Iftars specifically for our new-Muslim brothers and sisters -so that they did not have to break their fasts alone!
LIVE Question & Answers Sessions
Every Sunday and Wednesday, Jaime "Mujahid" Fletcher, our Founder and CEO, and Imam Isa Parada, our Director of Education hosted Q&A sessions in both English and Spanish.
Over 50,000 total viewers from ALL around the world (even as far as Holland!) tuned in to gain insight on over 40 years experience handling youth, converts, and society while maintaining a strong identity as a Latino-American Muslim.
Our community had the chance to ask ALL of their questions, like: how to deal with Convert family relationships, Muslim Community integration struggles and giving Dawah to others.

Virtual Fundraiser - "If IslamInSpanish didn't exist..."
After 20 years of educating Latinos about Islam worldwide we have witnessed countless stories of transformation. On the 25th night of Ramadan, we shared testimonials from people who's lives were impacted, special guest speakers, and entertainment. We took a look at the impact IslamInSpanish has had locally, nationally as well as internationally as the leading organization that is normalizing the image of Islam for the Latino community and the general society at large.
By the grace of Allah, we were able to secure the support of over 250 people who joined us monthly sustainers to ensure we can continue our mission and sustain our team and programs.
Did you know? One sister even embraced Islam during our live fundraiser! Watch HERE
Even though Ramadan is over - it is important that we continue to share the message of Islam with wisdom - to the MILLIONS of Latinos interested in our efforts.
Remember! The Prophet (PBUH) said:
“The most beloved of deeds to Allah are the most consistent of them, even if they are few”
IslamInSpanish works tirelessly to create valuable content in both English and Spanish to help new-Muslims integrate into our community, and to provide value for those interested in our efforts.
For as little as $10/month, YOU can become a monthly sustainer and help us continue to share the message of Islam.
Would YOU like to be responsible for just 1 Latino embracing Islam?
P.S. 289 people have already joined us to be monthly supporters. Will YOU help us reach our goal of 1,000 supporters?
