Welcome

Shining Islam’s Light Across Humanity

Assalamu Alaikum and Aloha,

At SILAH—Shining Islam’s Light Across Humanity—we believe that compassion is one of the highest forms of worship. Allah reminds us in the Qur’an to “help one another in righteousness and goodness” (Qur’an 5:2), and this principle continues to guide everything we do.

For years, SILAH has remained committed to supporting orphans, recognizing them as among the most vulnerable members of our global family. This responsibility remains an essential part of our mission and identity.

Today, our work is growing—rooted in the same values of mercy, care, and responsibility—but extending that compassion even further.

Islam teaches that kindness is not limited to people alone. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) consistently emphasized mercy toward all of Allah’s creation, including animals. He taught that compassion shown to an animal is rewarded, and cruelty toward them is a serious moral failing.

Guided by this teaching, SILAH is expanding its mission to include animal welfare, beginning with the establishment of a sanctuary in Morocco for vulnerable animals—starting with cats, and extending care to dogs and other animals in need.

Our sanctuary will serve as a place of safety and dignity for abandoned, injured, and vulnerable animals, providing food, medical care, protection, and long-term solutions through humane care, rehabilitation, and community education.

Cats hold a special place in Islamic tradition, and caring for them reflects a broader responsibility we carry as stewards of the earth. Just as orphans depend on our protection, animals too rely on human mercy.

Whether supporting orphans or rescuing animals, our work is united by one belief: that relieving suffering is a sacred act, and mercy is a form of faith in action.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “In every living being there is reward.”

Through SILAH, we strive to turn this teaching into meaningful action—connecting people to causes that heal, protect, and uplift life.

Your support helps us respond to the needs of orphans when assistance is required, build and sustain a life-saving cat sanctuary in Morocco, and promote compassion that transcends borders, backgrounds, and beliefs.

Every contribution—no matter the size—helps extend mercy where it is most needed.

May our efforts be guided by sincerity, humility, and care for all that Allah has entrusted to us.

Take care of yourselves, and take care of one another.

Fi Amanillah
