Harris County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) has hired a Muslim Chaplain to the chaplaincy team. Imam
Hamid Hardizi has been serving brothers and sisters inside since 2015. It is such a game changer
for timely intervention and support in collaboration with other Chaplains.
2. Salaam Team Members Ahmet Gunduz, Joseph Clark and Aijaz Ahmed will be touring IMAN
Central (Inner-City Muslim Action Network) in Chicago week of June 12, 2023. We look forward
to touring three of their programs: Green ReEntry, Organizing & Advocacy and Health Center.
3. Salaam Reentry has expanded their services to TDCJ female prison units. We had provided basic
Dawah materials to seventeen unit Chaplains. All but three unit chaplains have responded. We
are reaching out to Masajid in central Texas to recruit volunteers around Gatesville.

Taleem Friday and Saturday, respectively. Community needs to move forward and benefit from Fard
Kifayah: enabling about 500 Muslims to offer their weekly congregation.

How you can help Incarcerated brothers in Harris County Jails can only offer their Juma’ prayer, when a volunteer is there to be with them. We need TEN brothers to volunteer on Fridays so brothers can offer their Friday obligatory prayer.
