Crisis in the Horn of Africa

Assalamu Alaikum,

Brothers and Sisters in Islam,

Brothers and Sisters in Humanity,

It's been a long time since I've uploaded a video, hasn't it? I know I don't have many subscribers, but I figured that if I could do something that could change even the tiniest bit of the situation, I'd do it. My sisters, (Shaykha and Dawahinc) and I have put together this video to open seemingly closed eyes to the situation that has been going on in the Horn of Africa.

Such a critical and heart-wrenching reality needs serious attention, especially during the month of Ramadaan, when every Muslim should be watchful of the good and bad deeds that they commit. What if we are held accountable for not opening our eyes to the situation, not taking part in the aid that countless men, women and innocent children are dying for?

Insha'Allah let's take part in helping our fellow brothers and sisters who know not whether there'll be food waiting for them when they reach their destination, unlike like us who live in comfort, knowing the exact minute when we'll be able to eat again. If you aren't able to donate or give money, make dua'a! Insha'Allah change the situation by praying to Allah that things get better.

Please, please, please, do not ignore this message. Another way in which you can help is by sharing this with friends and family. Anyone you know who can make a difference, and by the will of Allah, save a life.

As a Muslim first, and as a Somali second, I feel inclined to pour my heart into this dire situation and do what I can to help those who are in need. Insha'Allah, Muslim or not, we all feel that as humans we cannot sit back and watch as these events take place.

Insha'Allah don't forget this message, and don't forget the ones who suffer as the time ticks closer and closer to when they have to wait no more.

Ma'Salaam

"O son of Adam, I asked you for food and you fed Me not." He will say: "O Lord, and how should I feed You when You are the Lord of the worlds?" He will say: "Did you not know that My servant So-and-so asked you for food and you fed him not? Did you not know that had you fed him you would surely have found that (the reward for doing so) with Me?"

-HADITH QUDSI-
