It is with a heavy heart that the community gives farewell to one of its local leaders, Mr. Mukit Hossain who passed away Sat Nov 27, 2010.
Mukit and His Family were very active in community service, helping those in need, interfaith dialogue, and civic engagement.
Please keep Mukit's Family, Wife(Sabrina Hossain) and Two Daughters, in Your Prayers

community volunteers who are working to create an organized day labor site in Herndon and provide social services to the workers.
In 2004 he was named the Herndon Citizen of the year by the Herndon Times and also recognized the the Virginia State Senate in a Joint Resolution sponsored by Sen. Janet Howell (D-32) and Del. Tom Rust (R-86). Mukit was also founder of Food Source Foundation, which provides meals to homeless people in Fairfax County, and has been involved with food banks and Meals on Wheels. In 2006, he worked with Jewish leaders to push for legislation in the Virginia General Assembly that made it a crime to mislabel halal or kosher products.In April of this year he was mentioned in the Washington Post as a man who filled a niche through providing naturally raised halal goat for the Muslim community. Mukit was a Former ADAMS Social Activities Chairperson (2000-2002) and Former ADAMS Board Member (2003 to 2006).
Mukit shall be missed, however his contributions shall remain as a reminder of mercy, peace, citizenship, and harmony.
