Assalaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
For several weeks, the students, staff and parents of Islamia Girls School, had been passionately fund raising, in order to help alleviate some of the suffering of the people of Gaza.
On behalf of Friends of Islamia, we would like to thank everyone for your time, effort and above all, your generous contribution.
Prior to our culminating event, we raised £8000 for Interpal and £8000 for Small Kindness, which will also be given to the victims of Gaza.
Through your generosity and support, the Charity Dinner and Auction evening held on Friday 27th February raised £41,700.
All of this amount will go through Islamic Relief in order to rebuild two schools in Gaza Insha’Allah.
Once the school buildings have been reopened we hope to link up with the students by setting up a pen pal scheme and sending Eid gifts and cards insha’Allah.
Allah promises to multiply everything that we give in charity, and surely Allah is true to His promise.
Allah SWT says in the Quran:
“Say: Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts the Sustenance to such of His servants as He pleases: and what you spend in charity He replaces it: for He is the Best of those who grant Sustenance”. 34 : 39
“The likeness of those who spend for Allah’s sake is as the likeness of a grain of corn, it grows seven ears every single ear has a hundred grains, and Allah multiplies (increases the reward of) for whom He wills, and Allah is sufficient for His creatures’ needs, All-Knower).” (2:261)
Mu'aadh bin Jabal (RA) related from the Prophet (SAW)
“Sadaqah extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire.” (Ahmad, Tirmidhi)
The Prophet (SAW) also said:
“The believer's shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his Sadaqah.” (Ahmad)
Most sincerely, on behalf of all the children of Gaza you have helped, are helping and will help, Jazakumullahu khairun.
Wassalam,
Friends of Islamia
