The Zakat Foundation of America participated in the annual (MAS, ICNA) conference, which was held in late December 2017 in Chicago, Illinois, in the United States of America.
Zakat’s participation in the MAS conference comes as it is considered one of the largest and most diverse Islamic conferences in North America. Its importance lies in the Muslim communities living in North America, for presenting unique programs that help to understand Islam correctly and convey its correct concepts to daily life. The conference is not limited to educational matters. Only, but also it is considered commercial, as many commerce reserve places to display their commercial goods and thus benefit from them on the financial level, and it is an opportunity for visitors also who like to shop, especially because of the large number of Islamic dress in it.
These conferences are a golden opportunity for charities to communicate directly with people and give a detailed explanation about the nature of their work and projects, and encourage and encourage them to help these associations, whether the assistance is in-kind or material.
