مَّثَلُ الَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ سُنبُلَةٍ مِّئَةُ حَبَّةٍ وَاللّهُ يُضَاعِفُ لِمَن يَشَاء وَاللّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
“The likeness of those who spend their property in the way of Allah is as the likeness of a grain (of corn) that grows seven ears, (with) a hundred grains in every ear. And Allah multiplies (in abundance) for whom He wills; and Allah is All-Embracing, All- Knowing.”
(Quran: 2:261)
Salaam Alaykum WRWB and Holy Month of Ramadhan Mubarak to you
I am penning this to you to inform you of our Ramadhan Relief Appeal which commenced earlier this Holy Month.
This year, we are working with our regional federations and partners in over 25 countries around the world to assist families living in poverty this Shahr Ramadan. This includes impoverished and indigent communities in Nepal, Afghanistan, Gaza and Yemen who require dire aid.
This year, I must stress about the situation in Pakistan. I and fellow Office Bearers were there on the ground when the unprecedented flood struck. Now, in the aftermath of many destitute parents are fasting during this Holy Month without having the means to provide a proper meal for their families to break their fast. As a result communities are forced to live off what they can find on a day-to-day basis – consequently, leading to negative ripple effects in the wellbeing of families and especially children’s future.
Our partners on the ground are distributing Food Packs during the Holy month of Ramadhan, as well as providing community iftars and suhoor, and cash gifts to those who are sometimes forced to fast endlessly.
With the global instability that has lead to rising inflation, your donations give refugees and families a rare opportunity to receive essential nutritional aid. They rely on these donations for the strength they need to carry on with their daily lives, especially during the month of Ramadhan.
Kindly donate today to feed a fasting family during the nights of Qadr this Shahr Ramadan via our website here: https://donate.wf
With sincere thanks and Duas,
Arifali Hirji
The WF Secretary General
