ISLAMIC LEADERSHIP OF AMERICA

- Nadia is passionate about helping others, I have worked with her over the years as a partner organization, supporting her educational services to her homeless shelter residents. I had the opportunity to work first hand with her residents and offer classes at her shelter. Her facility was always clean, and her residents received personal and timely attention to their needs. She runs a food bank to serve her residents as well as other qualified individuals. I have met several former residents who had the opportunity to benefit from her shelter services and they all shared positive stories. She has indeed helped many homeless women transform their lives and become productive members of our society.

As a freelance writer and editor, I have had the honor of working in collaboration with Nadia McIntosh on multiple marketing and fundraising projects for the Women Affairs of Al-Mumtahinah shelter. As the sole founder and director of the shelter, Nadia has single-handedly managed the running of the shelter and its affiliate programs. With her dedication and sincerity to the cause of the Ummah, she welcomes every family, women and child in need with open arms and endless support. Through her efforts and hard work, she has also managed to open a second phase to the Women Affairs shelter. Nadia is a pillar in her community and an exemplary human being who does not hesitate to extend more than a helping hand, and offer a warm, safe place for those less fortunateNever have I seen such an honest and hard worker, especially in the cause for others. By striving to combat issues of homlessness and abuse for females and their children throughout the Maryland-DC-Virginia area, Sister Nadia has taken the initial steps at making a stance against the most demonic issues prevailing in our society today.

ABDUL SABOOR KHAN

It is a true shame on our part if we fail to live up to the same morale and fail to achieve any objectives outlined in the foundation of Al-Mumtahinah Home Inc. I call on myself first, and all individuals regardless of location to see what they may be able to do for this wonderful organization, be it donating time and energy, money, or to the simplest accord, making supplication for the success in outreach for the needy.

Such a cause is colorless, sexless, without faith or culture or language; but all religions, especially the one of Truth, the one taught to us by the Beloved Prophet (sw) calling everyone to the worship of the TRUE GOD, calls on us to step up and take care of those in need and less fortunate than us. Now is the time to act, rather than reflect tomorrow what change could have made a difference today.
