Ramadan Hunger

[Somaliweyn Commando]

Bismillah ar-Rahmaan ar-Raheem,

The lack of food and water during Ramadan really reminds me of how I take things for granted. There are so many people out there who have no idea where their next meal is coming from while we here in the west have so many food choices that we have a tough time figuring out what we want for iftar.


Today I was notified of a Muslim family in Africa where the father has passed away and the mother has been left with 11 children. I'm going to donate $1000 from the money gained from the Ummah Films DVD money for this and other families who are in similar tough situations InshAllah. The money is not going through a charity organization or anything like that but rather directly to these families since I know people who know them. I am telling the viewers about this since the money is from the sales of the DVDs.


Ummah Films is not a charity organization but rather the objective is to work on projects that impact the Ummah in a positive way. Being that this is Ramadan, I see the money better spent this way. Anyways, some people have asked where the funds for the DVD sales go to so there you go.


Just a reminder in case you forgot. Next time you're having iftar, try to remember you blessings because there are people in far worse situations than you. Sometimes we get caught up in our lives and we think our situation is tough but if you travel to the poor parts of the world, you're definition of tough will change. If you know of orphans and needy people, please try to help them InshAllah....Muslim or not.

Allah gives and forgives
Man gets and forgets

He is probably answering the questions where the DVD sales go to, which people are wondering about

That is not true Helwaa to the extent you are talking about. Where have you heard it? There is fan and there is encouragement.

O you who believe! Do not nullify your charity by demands for gratitude or insulting words, like him who spends his wealth, showing off to people and not believing in God and the Last Day… (Qur’an, 2:264)




The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Seven people will be shaded by Allah under His shade on the day when there will
be no shade except His. They are:
(1) a just ruler;
(2) a young man who has been brought up in the worship of Allah, (i.e. worship Allah (Alone) sincerely from his
childhood),
(3) a man whose heart is attached to the mosque (who offers the five compulsory congregational prayers in the
mosque);
(4) two persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause only;
(5) a man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for an illegal sexual intercourse with her and
says: I am afraid of Allah;
(6) a person who practices charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given
(i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity).
(7) a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes get flooded with tears."

lil cuti..................It's better to keep silent about ur charity....it's more rewarding.


And what i said is true........ask sheekh if u want.

wa alaho aclam.

Listen, We jewish people fast longer than you and we have no problem, you, my friend is weak. Ok?

Perhaps you misunderstood. I said 'fan' as in showing off.--That is clearly wrong. But many people say a 'rough' amount of how much they give or just the basic Zakat money.. This is encouraging one another. It's about intensions, no doubt.
This article is from the brother at Ummah Films who is just informing people of where thier money has been spent. Which is good news, he is doing for a good course, encouragement and seeking awareness.
