A Call to Compassion From The Shahadah Foundation and other community leaders: Help a Sister in Urgent Need of Surgery 🌙
Dear Community,
Sometimes, Allah sends us opportunities—not just to give, but to grow. Today, we share one such opportunity with you.
A devoted husband and father in our community is reaching out in a time of deep hardship. His beloved wife is suffering from severe, debilitating pain that leaves her unable to sleep and barely able to move. After multiple doctor visits and four denied insurance appeals, she is still waiting for the surgery she desperately needs.
Her physician, Dr. Osama Ahmad at the Brain and Spine Institute of San Antonio, can confirm the urgency of her condition.
To make matters more difficult, after 23 years of government service, the husband was recently let go from his job. Yet their faith remains strong—anchored in sabr, hope, and trust in Allah.
🤲 An Invitation to Rise
This is more than a request. It is a blessed chance to raise our own ranks by easing the burden of another.
Allah says in the Qur’an:
“And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits—but give good tidings to the patient.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:155)
We can be that good news for this family.
Inspired by the companions who freed Salman al-Farsi (RA)—each giving what they could, trusting that Allah would do the rest—we are asking:
💝 Can you donate $50, $100, or any amount from your heart?
“Charity does not decrease wealth… and no one humbles himself for Allah except that Allah raises him.”
(Sahih Muslim)
Your donation, however small, can be the staff that parts the sea of hardship.
📩 Send your donation via Zelle to: 210-685-9936 or $Brenda9602
💌 Even if you’re unable to give, please keep this family in your duas and share this message with others.
May Allah bless you for every intention, every effort, and every act of compassion. May He relieve your burdens as you help relieve the burden of others.
Jazakum Allahu Khayran.
