This Ramadhan, Restore Hope and Dignity to Our Families

Ramadhan Is The Month Of Mercy, Dignity And Hope...Yet Countless Families Are Deprived of These, Scared Of Facing This Beautiful Month Alone And Without Support.

Your Help Will Provide:

Mercy –Relieve families under severe financial and emotional distress

Dignity – help families retain their dignity during times of financial hardship

Hope – give families a ray of light during their darkest times

The Prophet  (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whosoever relieves from a believer some grief pertaining to this world, Allah will relieve from him some grief pertaining to the Hereafter. Whosoever alleviates the difficulties of a needy person who cannot pay his debt, Allah will alleviate his difficulties in both this world and the Hereafter. Whosoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter. Allah will aid a servant (of His) so long as the servant aids his brother...’’ (Muslim)

Imagine Having A Loved One Arrested And Detained, Not Knowing When Or If You’ll Ever See Them Again. How Would You Cope On Your Own?
