Serving The Poor And Needy

Alhamdulillah, another day and another opportunity given by Allah 'azza wa jal to Ummah Welfare Trust to serve the poor and needy amongst this Ummah.

The Prophet (Salallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "You are not helped nor given sustenance except because of the weak amongst you" - Bukhari

And Imam Nasai (rh) reports that our Prophet (Salallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "Allah (swt) helps this Ummah because of the weak amongst them, due to their prayers, their supplications and their sincerity"

May Allah (swt) give us all the guidance to follow in the footsteps of our Prophet (Salallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) and strive to the serve the needy amongst his Ummah, because of whom we, who have been blessed by Allah (swt) with so much, are given our sustenance.

Should we not then do as much as we can to help them at their time of need?

Please supplicate for them and donate so we can provide them with their basic needs, www.uwt.org

Above: I met brother Hasha Abdo, 70 years of age, who lost a huge 80% of his livestock during the drought. He is now facing severe hardship providing food to his wife and 13 children.

He expressed his amazement that brothers and sisters living so far away in the UK would respond to the cries of people in his small village which has a population of 100 families.

Above: I met Imam Dawood Shaykh who is the Imam and Mu'allim of this small village. He showed me around the simple masjid which the men of his village built with their own hands. They recently managed to put up a new roof alhamdulillah. Before that, it was made of straw and the Imam said, when it would rain, be it little, the water would seep through and damage books, mushaf's and other things.

They try to beautify their masjid and they worship Allah (swt) with so much  eagerness in their village masjid.

Our Prophet (Salallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "The one who builds a house for Allah 'azza wa jal (masjid), Allah (swt) will build for him, a house in Paradise". (Bukhari)

May Allah swt gift these people lofty rankings and huge palaces in Jannah, Aameen
