Feed Orphans and The Poor This Dhul Hijjah
Feeding others is a noble act that holds great significance. It is regarded as one of the most commendable and virtuous deeds. The bountiful rewards for feeding the hungry are mentioned as qualities of the righteous inhabitants of Paradise, who have successfully endured the trials of the Day of Resurrection.
قال الله تعالى: {وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَى حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا إِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ لَا نُرِيدُ مِنْكُمْ جَزَاءً وَلَا شُكُورًا إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِنْ رَبِّنَا يَوْمًا عَبُوسًا قَمْطَرِيرًا فَوَقَاهُمُ اللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَلَقَّاهُمْ نَضْرَةً وَسُرُورًا وَجَزَاهُمْ بِمَا صَبَرُوا جَنَّةً وَحَرِيرًا} [الإنسان:5-12].
Abdullah bin Amr (ra) said, ’A man asked the Prophet, “What Islamic traits are the best?” The Prophet said, ”Feed the people, and greet those whom you know and those whom you do not know”’. [Bukhari]
And what better time to do this than these blessed 10 days of Dhul Hijjah! And what better way than giving your Qurbani and provide food assistance to those who are in dire need in Syria, Arsal camps in Lebanon, Yemen, and Palestine.
It is our obligation to assist the impoverished and needy individuals, as they hold rights over us. We should strive to offer them as much help as we can, as commanded by God Almighty and emphasized by the Prophet (SWT). As Eid Al-Adha approaches, Muslims worldwide come together to aid impoverished families, regardless of their location.
The objective of this initiative is to distribute sacrificial meat to those who have been deprived of it for months. Orphans, widows, disabled individuals, as well as numerous displaced and needy families residing in northwestern Syria, Arsal camps, Palestine, and Yemen, will receive their portion of Qurbani due to your generous contributions.
All sacrificial animals are procured following the legal requirements, and the slaughtering is conducted in accordance with Islamic regulations.
The distribution of the sacrificial meat is done personally to the beneficiaries.
Furthermore, you have the option to donate funds equivalent to the price of a bundle of bread or a festive outfit for a child to make their Eid special!
Yemen
Yemeni children are the groups most affected by the war and its repercussions, directly or indirectly. UNICEF estimated that the number of children suffering from malnutrition in Yemen may reach 2.4 million
Palestine
The tightened blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip has become a threat to the food security of about 70% of families, with more than 30% living below the poverty line.
The need of the Palestinian people for the most basic requirements of life and the inability of families to buy sacrificial meat. Help us distribute Qurbani to orphans and the poor in Palestine.
Camp Arsal
More than 80,000 Syrian refugees live in Arsal, who suffer from the worst economic, health and environmental conditions, distributed among 11,000 tents and 125 asylum camps.
They suffer from an acute shortage of the basic needs of food, water and electricity, in addition to their severe suffering from the continental climate in the city.
Northern Syria
For the past 12 years, Syrians have endured the excruciating agony of a prolonged war, resulting in the loss of over a million lives and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of families. Regrettably, the year 2023 brought yet another chapter in the ongoing Syrian tragedy. In the month of February, a powerful earthquake shook the region, claiming the lives of over 9,000 individuals and forcing thousands of families to flee their homes, particularly in northern Syria.
