Update from President

Salaam Alaikum Dear IABA Community, The recent senseless and cruel act of violence that took the lives of 19 children and 2 teachers in Uvalde, Texas is shocking and saddening. Our heart felt condolences go out to the grieving parents, families and the whole Uvalde community. Our community and all the other Muslim congregations stand with you in this hour of immense grief. We also call upon the authorities to enact laws and policies that make it impossible for such acts to happen in the future.
