Giving to one poor and needy family, and not the other?!
as-salaam ’alaykum - with 3 days to go, it’s that time of year again, as we start to prepare ourselves for welcoming the blessed month of Ramadhaan, in shaa.-Allaah.
In preparation for Ramadhaan 2 year’s ago, many of you helped to donate Ramadhaan hampers to the poor and needy in Nepal; 100 in fact!
After we finished distributing these hampers, many of the other families who had not received anything pleaded with us to help provide a Ramadhaan hamper for them too.
On hearing of their plight, thoughts quickly turned to how these families will be welcoming Ramadhaan; surely something can be done to help them. Quickly, Markaz Quba decided to dip into their emergency fund to help facilitate Ramadhaan hampers for a further 100 families, wa lillaahil-hamd!
Think for a moment, and contemplate how easy it is for you, and us all to prepare for Ramadhaan, and as we tuck into our sahoor every morning and our iftaar in the evening, perhaps not a thought is given to how easy Allaah has made it for us to have sufficient provisions each and every day.
Please spare a thought for those who are not as fortunate, and how you can play your part in sponsoring sahoor and iftaar for 1 family for the duration of Ramadhaan.
Our aim again this Ramadhaan is to provide at least 200 hampers, and we have already received donations for 28 wa lillaahil-hamd! So please grab this opportunity, and take your share of the reward to be gained, as the Prophet ﷺ said:
«He who gives food for a fasting person to break his fast, he will receive the same reward as him, except that nothing will be reduced from the fasting person’s reward» – Ahmad, at-Tirmidhee (who declared it Saheeh), Ibn Maajah and Ibn Hibbaan.
Deadline: Thursday 27th February, 2025
