Asalaamu'Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakatuhu
Alhamdulilaah we have managed to raise £700 of our £3000 target for the food packages.
We still need to raise another £2300 in order to feed the 100 extremely poor families. Please dont think for a second that these families are not in dire need. By Allaah they are suffering from extreme poverty.Most of them are not even able to pay for medical treatment if they are sick. They struggle to feed their children and provide them with decent clothing.
A widow amomgst the villagers who is suffering along with her 4 children is one of the most extreme cases I have heard about subhanAllaah. She has very little food to feed her young children and has to desperately find ways of making money in order to clothe and feed her kids. They go without basic essentials and sometimes even food.
By donating just £30 you can provide them with a food package that will get them through the cold winter In shaa Allaah. It will provide the kids who see their parents struggling to feed them, with food to eat.
For the sake of Allaah give whatever you can. We have it easy compared to them. Alhamdulilaah we have a proper roof over our heads and good food to eat. While they struggle everyday just to gather enough food to feed themselves.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
Beware of stinginess, for those who came before you were destroyed because of stinginess. It commanded them to be miserly, so they were miserly; it commanded them to cut family ties, so they cut them; and it commanded them to be immoral, so they were immoral.
[Reported by Abu Dawood, (2/324); Sahih al-Jami, (no. 2678]
When it comes to miserliness, the person whose eemaan is weak can hardly give anything for the sake of Allaah, even when there is an honest appeal and it is quite obvious that his brothers in Islaam are suffering the impact of poverty and are striken by disaster. There is no more eloquent statement on the matter of miserliness than the words of Allaah:
Behold! You are those who are called to spend in the Cause of Allah, yet among you are some who are niggardly. And whoever is niggardly, it is only at the expense of his ownself. But Allah is Rich (Free of all wants), and you (mankind) are poor. And if you turn away (from Islam and the obedience of Allah), He will exchange you for some other people, and they will not be your likes.
[Muhammed 47:38]
Lets come together as an ummah and feed 100 families this winter.
