<p>That's right! Did you know that you can shop at Kroger like you normally would, and 4% of everything you spend will go to the Masjid? But to take advantage of this, you will HAVE TO use the specially-coded, reloadable Kroger Cards from the ICN.</p>
<p>They come pre-loaded with a $10 balance (so you pay $10 for the card at the ICN - ask for this at the office after Jummah.) This card is rechargeable for any amount that you choose (up to $500 each time). If you need to recharge it, just be sure to reload it <span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">BEFORE</span> you scan your groceries at the checkout counter, and be sure to use your Kroger card to pay -<span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;"> it's that easy!</span></p>
<p>Kroger will donate 4% of everything you spend to the ICN. For instance, for every $100 you spend at Kroger on anything (food, supplies, pharmaceuticals, etc. - even gas!), Kroger will donate $4 to the ICN through your card. So if you spend $500 each month, you will (indirectly) be donating $240 a year! Remember that this did NOT even come out of your pocket!</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="FONT-STYLE: italic; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Please take advantage of this Hasanath today!</span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The MSA now has the Annex building (between university club building and community house and near Featheringill Engineering building) and can pray Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib (during winter time at least).  The University lined the carpets and made separate wudu accommodations for both women and men as well as two entrances. This space accommodate over 40 people.  They can use it from 11 til 5, after which a key has to be arranged and other student organizations can reserve it.  The MSA has arranged tarawih prayers from (Sun - Thurs).  Please keep in mind that Jumu'a prayer is still held in the All Faith Chapel in the divinity school since the jumu'a prayer attracts close to 100 people.  We thank the MSA prayer building committee (which comprised mostly of active sisters) for taking a big lead in this effort, and the university, for making the effort to accommodate the needs of the students.  For more information contact Br. Fares @ 501-772-0035.</p>

<p>Alhamdulillah, there is now a musalla for the men and one for the women on the 11 acre land on Charlotte Pk, alongside the new Islamic school building.  This project is just upon completion and the place is being utilized for tarawih prayers along with Fajr, Maghrib and Isha jamats, as well as Dhuhr jamaat by the children of the Islamic School.  Around 75 people have been reported to have attended the tarawih prayers, which are held at the same time as at the ICN.  This project was part of the Islamic Center of Nashville overall Land Development Project, which recently completed the new school building.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.icntn.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/134.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-645" title="134" src="http://www.icntn.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/134.jpg" alt="134" width="560" height="420" /></a></p>
<p>An activity room/ youth type center is also being redisigned as the last portable renovation.  The playground is scheduled to be set during the weekend of Eid insha Allah. The soccer field is being assessed for further development to make it operational for leagues for the kids and adults.  Other recreational activities will include a volleyball court, basketball court and picnic shelters.  Anyone interested in donating for this project should contact Br. Sajid - 400-4956.</p>
