FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: ISLAMIC RELIEF OUTPERFORMS MOST CHARITIES IN AMERICA BURBANK, CA (April 17, 2006) - For the third consecutive year, Islamic Relief USA has been awarded with a 4-star rating by Charity Navigator, the largest charity evaluator in the United States. Charity Navigator's stated goal is "to advance a more efficient and responsive philanthropic marketplace by evaluating the financial health of 3,000 of America's largest charities." In a letter to Islamic Relief, Charity Navigator's Executive Director, Trent Stamp, commended the accomplishment: "This month we have calculated a new rating for your organization based on the most current financial information available. We are happy to announce that Islamic Relief has earned its third consecutive 4-star rating for its ability to efficiently allocate and grow its finances. Less than 12% of the charities we've rated have received at least two consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that Islamic Relief outperforms most charities in America in its efforts to operate in the most fiscally way possible. This 'exceptional' rating from Charity Navigator differentiates Islamic Relief from its peers and proves that it's worthy of the public's trust." Throughout our history, we have always worked hard to build the trust of our donors. This recent award confirms Islamic Relief USA's commitment to managing a professional organization that fulfills the intentions of our donors and the needs of the beneficiaries. Islamic Relief USA has been growing steadily over the last few years. We thank God Almighty first, as well as all our donors, supporters and volunteers across the country for helping us achieve the goals that we all share - alleviating the poverty and suffering of the world's poorest people, as well as providing lasting, sustainable solutions to help people help themselves.

Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125) {And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33) The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim] The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
