Unshakable Faith
in Difficult Times
وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا
“Hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together, and do not become divided.”
Ali 'Imran 3:103
The rope of Allah cannot be held on to alone; it is a communal effort achieved through meaningful social connection, educational programming, and a safe, welcoming environment for all.
Every day, we show up in a world filled with difficulty — whether it's in an increasingly anti-Muslim climate, or on a social media feed that brings doubt and confusion about our faith, we show up and try to wear our faith proudly.
But in this moment, we cannot do it alone, and we must hold on to the rope of Allah together.
SALAM has strived to offer a safe and welcome space for our Muslim community since 1987, providing opportunities for social connection, faith-based education, and spiritually fortifying programs for every one of us.
This year's banquet, Unshakable Faith in Difficult Times, is about coming together to support the foundation of work that we've built together, and to build a stronger tomorrow that will strengthen the faith of our community for years to come.
