AIDING OUR ORPHAN SISTER

Asalaamualaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

We are trying to raise money for this young orphan sister in Morocco, She is 23 years old and is living in quite literally a dump subhanAllaah. She has no income, no money for food or clothes or even  the most basic necessities. The place she is living in, is not fit to be a home for anyone as you can see in the pictures. The place she lives does not belong to her, it belongs to Jews who abandoned it after they left Morocco and she could be asked to leave at any point. We are trying to raise funds in order to provide her with food, clothing and other necessities in shaa Allaah, This is just a starting point bi'idnillaah, we hope to be able to send her clothing, food and other things from here aswell as support her financially each month. 

The Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) said: “The one who sponsors an orphan, whether it is a relative of his or not, he and I will be like these two in Paradise,” and Maalik pointed with his forefinger and middle finger.

[Muslim]

This is where you come in. Please give what you can to aid this sister through her hardship, even if it is £1. This sister literally has no one accepted the muhsineen who aid her with whatever they are able to. Even though she has nothing, she is too shy to ask for help subhanAllaah. 

Pictures will be provided of where your donations have been spent and updates will be given. As she is a yateema (orphan) who is poor; zakaat is accepted in shaa Allaah.

SUPPORTING WIDOWS AND ORPHANS IN OUJDA (MOROCCO)

Asalaamulaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakatuhu 

Alhamdulilaah we were blessed with the opportunity to help an organisation in Oujda (Morocco) that cares for widows and orphans. They help provide shelter, food, clothing and other necessities as well as teaching our sisters how to read.

We made an appeal to raise funds to help the organisation provide these services as they run solely on donations given to them by generous people. The widows and orphans are currently living in a garage as this is the only place the organisation was able to provide free of charge. However it needs a lot of work.

THIS IS THEIR KITCHEN AREA

THESE ARE SOME OF THE WIDOWS AND ORPHANS YOU WILL BE SUPPORTING.

Alhamdulilaah in total we have managed to raise £326.16 which will be spent on providing them we food, clothing for Eid and any other needs they may have, If you wish to donate please donate to PAYPAL: arrayyaansadaqah@gmail.com using the REF: WIDOWS ORGANISATION

With the first appeal we made £62.16 was donated and sent straight away as they need to purchase some food for the families to have at iftaar. (Pictures coming soon). The other amount will be sent shortly in shaa Allaah and pictures of the receipt will be provided.

RECEIPT OF FIRST SET OF DONATIONS

We also made an appeal to sponsor 10 orphans education, as they were unable to pay the fees (50 dirhams a month equivalent to £5)  so many of them are not able to go to school. Alhamdulilaah we exceeded the amount we originally appealed for and 12 orphans have been sponsored. May Allaah accept it from them. 

JazakumAllaahu Khayran to everyone who donates, shares and remembers the needy in their ad'iyah. May it weigh heavy on your scale of deeds ya Rabb,

NEW COMMUNITY FOOD BANK PROJECT 2015!

Asalaamualaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

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.

Please contact us via email: arrayyaansadaqah@gmail.com or use the contact box at the side of the page.

Alternatively if you would like us to purchase the food on your behalf, we will be able to do that also. (All proof of purchases will be provided)

EID AL-ADHA 2014!

Asalaamualaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakatuhu,

We havent posted on the blog for a while subhanAllaah due to commitments etc. However we did do a few projects that were successful due to Allaah's immense Mercy upon His servants alhamdulilaah.

For Eid al-Adha  we wanted to try and raise £500 to buy 5 sheeps to be slaughtered on Eid and have their meat distributed to the extremely poor people in a village in Morocco.

If we were unable to raise funds for 5 we hoped to raise enough for at least two in shaa Allaah so that at least we can help feed some families who really do not have anything.

The meat would go to people who have little to no food at all as well as widows and orphans.The sheep personally distributed by family members in shaa Allaah. May Allaah reward them aameen,

If you remember the winter project we done in which we provided all the essential needs to get them by(flour, oil, potato, tomato etc) they were overwhelmed with how much people wanted to help them since they don't receive any aid from anywhere else. You can read about it HERE!

Alhamdulilaah and by the mercy of Allaah we raised the money and the sheeps were slaughtered and distributed on the day of Eid! Alhamdulilaah this happened purely by the grace of Allaah. Some people were extremely generous and gave large amounts of money towards this project, I ask Allaah to grant them nothing less than Firdous and bless their families aameen.

Here are some pictures taken from that day:

JazakumAllaahu Khayran to everyone who donated, shared or made duaa!

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 4.11 Narrated by Abu Huraira

A man asked the Prophet (alayhi salaatu wa sallaam), "O Allaah's Messenger! What kind of charity is the best?" He replied. "To give in charity when you are healthy and greedy hoping to be wealthy and afraid of becoming poor. Don't delay giving in charity till the time when you are on the death bed when you say, 'Give so much to so-and-so and so much to so-and so,' as at that time the property is not yours but it belongs to so-and-so (i.e. your inheritors)."
