The 3 Puerto Rican Imams Project is a long-term endeavor that seeks to provide solutions to the needs of the people of Puerto Rico. In its initial planning stages, it was meant to be an outreach-driven initiative to provide educational and social services to the Muslim community. However, after the devastating natural disasters that occurred in September, Hurricanes Irma and, more notably, Mar\u00eda, the project became an emergency relief effort that extended not just to the Muslims of Puerto Rico, but to all Puerto Ricans.<\/p>\n
These powerful cyclones literally hit home for the directors, three Puerto Rican Muslim leaders (Imam Abdullah Daniel Hern\u00e1ndez, Imam Jose \u201cYusuf\u201d Rios, and Imam Wesley \u201cAbu Sumayyah\u201d Lebr\u00f3n) and their supporters, who share both their pain and vision, making this a mission of love and solidarity. The project is unique in that it unites various organizations and works collaboratively with others inside and outside of the island, while still working independently in its response. It has successfully brought people together of all faiths and nationalities with the common goal of providing relief to those most affected by the hurricanes and easing some of the many hardships they face.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”3.21.2″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.21.2″][et_pb_image max_width=”96%” src=”https:\/\/3puertoricanimams.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/unnamed-1-7.jpg” _builder_version=”3.21.2″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.21.2″][et_pb_image force_fullwidth=”on” src=”https:\/\/3puertoricanimams.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/22688784_1956477577927377_891546884339838824_n.jpg” _builder_version=”3.21.2″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.21.2″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.21.2″][et_pb_text text_font_size=”15px” _builder_version=”3.21.2″ text_font=”||||||||”]By the Grace and Mercy of God, the 3 Puerto Rican Imams Project has been able to serve the people in the following cities in Puerto Rico, in the aftermath of Hurricane Mar\u00eda:\n\n1.
