We are in need of at least five cars at AMANA. Especially vans and trucks.
These cars will be used for:
- Volunteers
- Deliveries of Books, Food, clothes and light furnitures.
- Visiting Hospitals, Nurseries and Prisons.
- Neighborhood Watch
- Other needs to meet Al-AMANA Projects
AMANA, The American Muslim Association of North America, is a Florida Non Profit Organization.
Any Donation will be Tax Deductible insha Allah.
An example: One of the cases is a person who is staying in the nursery home at 135 Street and 3 Avenue NE.
This person going through Leukemia therapies and AMANA took his case to monitor him.
We visit him to meet his needs we pick him up on Fridays to go for the prayer. Last weak we paid a deposit for him to leave the nursery to live in a healthier atmosphere and insha Allah we stay with him as long as it takes.
This is an example of many and Allah knows best.
If you can not help by donating your old car, you can register as volunteer.

(7)*(PARTICIPATE ON NEW AL-AMANA POLL)
Please take a minute from your valuable time and participate on the new Al-AMANA Poll.
In case of any future Disasters (May Allah forbid).
What should the American Muslims & Arabs do?
What do the teachings of Islam say when it comes to helping your neighbors and your communities!
Does Islam require us to prevent the destruction of buildings?
Does Islam teach us to prevent the killing of innocent people?
Did our prophet instruct us to take care of our neighbors?
You should say YES to all of the above as this is what our faith the Islam requires!
We should stand all together to save a life in the future.
We should stand all together to give a hand to our fire department.
We should stand all together to protect our neighborhood.
We should stand all together to give a hand to prevent the killing and destruction of civilians and buildings.
We do this not because we are paid to do so, but because we are Muslims.
We should be the shield to protect Muslims and non Muslims alike.
We do this because we are Muslims and our Islamic faith requires us to do so.

(8)*(BEWARE!!!)
Thieves are putting a thin clear, rigid plastic "sleeve: into the ATM card slot. When you insert your card, the machine cannot read the strip, so it keeps asking you to re-enter your pin number. Meanwhile, someone behind you watches as you enter and re-enter your number. Eventually you give up, thinking the machine has captured your card and walk away. The thieves then remove the plastic sleeve complete with card, and empty your account. The way to avoid this is to run your finger along the card slot before you put your card in. The sleeve has a couple of tiny prongs that the thieves need to get it out of the slot, and you will be able to feel them. Law enforcement would like as many people as possible to be aware of this scam, so please pass this information on to your friends and family and associates.
***********************************************************
(8)*(REPORT CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS)
In case of any discrimination against you. If you feel that your application to rent an apartment or to apply for a job was denied due to your race, religion or color, if you feel that someone mistreated you or refused to give services due to your race, religion or color please report it. Report your claim against any one, any company, any private or public agency or government office. The Director of AMANA is serving as a member in the Florida State Advisory Committee (FL SAC)
to the United States Commission on Civil Rights, USCCR.
