Al-ḥamdu lillāh, we praise Him, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We bear witness that
there is no god but Allah alone, and that Muhammad (SAW) is His servant and Messenger.
Allah (SWT) sets before us a profound spiritual progression in the Qur’an. He says: “There is no
blame upon those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have consumed, so long as
they have taqwā and believe and do righteous deeds, then have taqwā and believe, then have
taqwā and excel (iḥsān). And Allah loves the doers of excellence.” [al-Mā’idah, 5:93]

It indicates that faith unfolds in stages, deepening through taqwā until it reaches the station of iḥsān.
[Warren, MI] – Imam Steve Mustapha Elturk, President of the Islamic Organization of North America
(IONA) and Co-Chair of the Imams Council of Michigan, joined a broad coalition of multifaith clergy
leaders on March 24, 2026, in a press conference, on the steps of the Michigan State Capitol, calling for
an end to the presence and expansion of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in
Michigan. Faith leaders from Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and other traditions gathered to draw what Imam Elturk
described as “a line in the sand,” urging lawmakers and government officials to protect immigrant
communities and uphold human dignity.
