 That's where we come in and we try to give them some rental assistance. We sign them up on the pantry program. So they have food coming, because food stamps is not enough. That's what we do and we've been doing it for 750 families this past year. At 50% next year we'll do cut half of them off. That's what that means. So here's where we are. We're going to just talk about the gut a little bit. We're 46.6% of our target, which means we're $466,000 out of our target of $1 million. The current rate we may hit 55%. So I'm going to talk a little bit about what that means. And some options, things we can do to help us get to the right number. Yesterday there were 400 Afghani refugees here. And it was interesting, it was also crazy. Because there were a bunch of kids running around, running around. They were just having fun. And you can't imagine what it is like to be a kid, where you can run around and you fall and it doesn't matter. Because the carpet is here, you just run around. But it was noisy and crazy. And then one of the, I forget, I don't see him right now. It was his name. Majdadi Khaled. Khaled Majdadi looked at the kids and said, this is our next generation. There were 99% of Afghani. And it doesn't matter whether they were Afghani or they were African Americans or they were Desi. That's our next generation. And let me tell you what the Afghani refugees go through. And I'm just saying this from paper. Here I've actually gone through this. I don't know what this is. For 40 years, the kids have seen their parents and their parents in wartime. For 40 years. They've come over here. Let's take them out of Afghanistan and put them here. The U.S. comes and says we'll give $1100 per person. We have to find a place to live. That by the way is just rent and deposit. That's it. We're gone. After that we'll give $600 a month for food stamps. And California will give you $1000. $600 a month. That's all you get. Figure out the language, figure out how to make money, figure out how to live, figure out how to get a car, figure out how to do all those things yourself. That's where we come in. We have some rental assistance. We sign them up on the pantry program. So they have food coming. Because food stamps is not enough. That's what we do. We've been doing it for 750 families this past year. At 50% next year we'll do cut half of them off. That's what that means. That's what that means. Now imagine a conversation. Well, let's take the Hadith. The famous Hadith I'm going to paraphrase to just get to the nub of it. Which is... You know what Allah says in Hadith, Khutzi and somebody correct me that I was sick and didn't visit me. Hypothetical. I was poor and you didn't help me. They're here. What are we going to do? What's our responsibility? Oh, they're Afghani. We don't care about them. We're Pakistani. We're Indian. We're African American. No, we're Muslim first. How can you help? Well, there's several things you can do, right? You can start giving next year's Zakat. You can prepay the year's Zakat after. That's allowed. One. Two, give Sadqa. Put it in the Zakat box. Have the intention of giving Sadqa. And it will be used for a Zakat recipient. That's an option. You can do it. Now, what I'm asking you to do is, you know, we need $500,000. We can get half in the next two or three, four days. I'm sure in the rest of the year we'll make up the other half. Right? So do the math. 1,000 people doing $250. 500 people giving $500. 250 people giving $1,000. Ask yourself the question, if you have $25,000, what's the cost? What's the cost? Imagine, if you have $25,000 in the bank right now, can you afford to get $500? Imagine if Allah asked that question for you. What is your answer? What is our answer? And this valley is full of engineers, doctors, lawyers, business people. We know who we are. If I ask people, how many people have $25,000? I'm not going to ask you. Don't raise your hand. If I ask the question, how many people have $25,000 in the bank right now and can afford $500, most of you will put your hand up. So bismillah. It's our test. Allah put these people here. They're here. I'm not worried about the people on the other side of the east coast. I'm not worried about people here. So inshallah, please remember to do this. I'm going to be up here on the 29th again and I'll see you in the next video.
