Alhamdulillah — less than 24 hours after our UIC town hall, Senator Luz Escamilla has publicly announced she's opening bill files for the 2027 General Session to pursue legislation addressing hate-motivated crimes, following the attack on brother Sohail. She specifically cited what she heard from our community at the town hall as part of what's driving this action.

This is a powerful example of what happens when we show up, share our stories, and build relationships with elected officials who will stand with us. JazakAllahu khairan to everyone who attended and spoke up, and to Senator Escamilla for her continued partnership with our community.

We'll keep you updated as this moves forward. 🤲

Dear brothers and sisters,

We're reaching out with an update on Brother Naveed, who continues his recovery. Alhamdulillah, his daughter is showing progress and is expected to move from the ICU to a regular ward soon, insha'Allah.

We're truly humbled by the way this community has come together for this family during such an unimaginable trial.

This family still has a long road ahead. Please hold them close in your duas, and if you're able, consider donating through the link below to help ease their burden during this incredibly painful chapter.

"Surely we belong to Allah and to Him we will return."

Dr. Abdul Naveed Shaik from California was traveling back with his family (total of 5 members) from Yellowstone National Park and had a fatal car accident in Elko County.

Please do not leave your old clothes for donation at UIC. Please donate them DI.

Assalamu Alaikum,

On Monday afternoon, a member of our community was stabbed multiple times while working at Valley Fair Mall in West Valley City. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition and underwent surgery. Alhumdulillah he is in stable condition now. According to police and court documents, the suspect admitted to targeting the victim because he is Muslim, and investigators believe he may have been planning further attacks against Muslims.

Our hearts are heavy. We ask everyone to keep our brother and his family in your duas — may Allah (SWT) grant him a full and swift recovery (shifa), and grant his family strength and patience during this difficult time. Ameen.

We are also deeply grateful to the bystanders who intervened, restrained the attacker, and prevented further harm. May Allah reward their courage.

May Allah (SWT) protect our community and keep us all safe. Ameen.

Jazakum Allahu Khairan

Photos of the car that Sandy police believe was used by a suspect who attempted to shoot Imam Shuaib Din, leader of Utah Islamic Society in West Jordan on Monday evening.

Assalamu ‘Alaykum,

Earlier this evening at approximately 7:30 PM, an individual followed Imam Shuaib from his home and fired several shots at him. By the mercy and protection of Allah (SWT), he was not harmed.

Law enforcement is conducting a full investigation. We ask the community to make dua and avoid speculation.

Heightened security measures will be in place at UIC to ensure the safety of all who attend.

May Allah (SWT) protect our Imam and our community.
