Bismillaah
We are hoping to start a new project, which will involve the setting up of a community food-bank to help people in need. Initially we are hoping to have two collection points; South London & East London.
Within the UK the situation has become very tough and many people go hungry and without basic necessities for many reasons. From a loss of a job or unexpected outgoing money, even those who have stable jobs are going through hardship.
Many suffer in silence or have no one to turn to for help. As Muslims it is our duty to help others & try our best to make sure our brothers and sisters don’t go hungry.
-“And they give food, in spite of their love for it (or for the love of Him), to the Miskeen (the poor), the orphan, and the captive, (Saying): ‘We feed you seeking Allaah’s Countenance only. We wish for no reward, nor thanks from you...”- Soorah Insaan 76:8-9
-The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Feed the hungry, visit the sick and set free the captives." - Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Hadith 552
-(O Prophet!) Tell those of My servants who believe that they should establish Prayer and spend out of what We have provided them with, both secretly and openly, before there arrives the Day when there will be no bargaining, nor any mutual befriending. (14:31)
This will be an ongoing project in shaa Allaah and we are hoping to support as many brothers and sisters going through difficulty as we can. This is where YOU come in! We need your help as much as possible to make this project successful bi'idnillaah. We are collecting the following items in shaa Allaah.
- Milk ( powdered)
- Sugar
- Fruit juice (carton)
- Soup
- Pasta sauces
- Tomatoes (tinned)
- Cereals
- Rice pudding (tinned)
- Tea Bags/instant coffee
- Instant mash potato
- Rice
- pasta
- Tinned fish
- Tinned fruit
- Jam
- Biscuits or snack bars
- Personal hygiene related items
All these items are inexpensive yet they really help those in need. Why not pick up some extra items on your next food shop and earn yourself some reward in shaa Allaah! Invest in your akhirah by feeding others.
