Social Services & Family Development (SSFD)

Allah SWT says in the Holly Qur’an:  “We have only sent you (O Mohammad) as a mercy for all creatures”(21:107).

Who gives money, though dear, to near relatives, and orphans, and the needy, and the homeless, and the beggars, and for the freeing of slaves; those who perform the prayers, and pay the obligatory charity, and fulfill their promise when they promise, and patiently persevere in the face of persecution, hardship, and in the time of conflict. These are the sincere; these are the pious.” (2:177). The above-mentioned verses are the foundation of MUNA Social Services & Family Development (SSFD) Department’s program. Serving Allah and the humanity are our utmost responsibilities.
