Gaza Appeal

9 January 2009

Dear Parents,

Assalam Aliykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu


I am writing to you at these most difficult times that we see the Ummah going through. We are confronted again, by a horror beyond proportion that the most oppressed people of Gaza are facing. The suffering that our brothers, sisters and their children are going through is beyond comprehension.

Our Lord Allah (SW) is the most merciful and he has sent our beloved prophet Muhammed (SAW) as a gift of mercy to the worlds. Our Prophet (SAW) said:

‘Show mercy to those who are on Earth, the one who is in Heaven will surely show you mercy’

Therefore, Islamia Girls School and Islamia Primary School are having a series of Fund Raising activities to share in helping those who are unable to help themselves.

I urge you, to please donate generously, to be amongst those whom Allah (SW) said about in the holy Quran;

‘’The righteous will dwell amid gardens and water springs. And will receive what their Lord shall give them. For they were doers of good. They used to sleep but little of the night.Praying at dawn for Allah’s pardon. And in their wealth the beggar and th e outcast had a due share’’ Surah 51 (15-19).

May Allah (SW) forgive us all for our shortcomings and help us help those who are in need. Wa Jazakum Allah Khair.

With Best Regards,
Wa Salaam,

Friends of Islamia
