URGENT FUNDRAISER FOR PALESTINE - Half Marathon
Donation protected
As-salam-wa-alaikum-salam-wa-ramatullah-wa-barakatuhu brothers and sisters.
As the world is aware Gaza and the people of Palestine have been under siege from the illegal occupiers Israel. In May 2021 (during Ramadan), renewed violence has occurred, resulting in Palestinians being attacked in the compounds of Al-Aqsa during taraweeh, prayers, Palestinian being illegally removed from their houses in Sheikh Jarrah; further escalation of violence has now resulted in shooting and air assaults. The current loss of life is 213, including 61 children and 36 women, 5000 Palestinians have lost their homes in the last 7 days to Israeli Bombings.
Whilst majority of the world condemns Israel, the reality is, not much is actually being done on the ground to prevent the current plight of Palestinians in Palestine/Gaza. Palestinians do not currently have access to water, food, electricity, and proper medical care. I could go on to a list of other misfortunes that Palestinians suffer and the nonchalant behaviour of this Israeli government that continues to breach all Geneva convention articles on Human rights, however, that can be saved for another day.
Our Palestinian brothers and sisters urgently require our help. It is incumbent upon us to act now and provide as much help to our brothers and sisters. Myself and five other brothers (Mohammed Ali, Mohammed Quronfleh Muhammad Zulqurnain Khan, Forhad Ahmed and Jahed Mirza), will be partnering with Ummah Welfare Trust, to raise emergency funds for the people of Palestinian during their darkest hours by running a Half Marathon in September at Richmond Park.
Mohammed Quronfleh will be running several tri-athlon's throughout the summer to raise money for the fundraiser.
Just a brief introduction on who Ummah Welfare Trust, they are non-profit organization that works on the ground in many Muslim countries without charging any extra funds. In layman terms, 100 percent of your donations will reach our Palestinian brothers and sisters at no extra cost.
We make a humble request, that you can help us achieve our target of 7,500 pounds. Whether the donation is a penny or a pound, your donations will be helping those that really require our help. If you are unable to donate, please could you share with your family and friends in this most noble cause. Most importantly keep us and our Palestinian brothers and sisters in your duas.
One final request, may Allah (swt) preserve both our intentions and actions!!
Prophet SAW said, “How blessed is Shaam!” The companions around them asked: “Why is that?” The Messenger SAW replied, “I see the angels of the Most Merciful spreading their wings over it” (Tirmidhi and Imam Ahmad)
When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (for the deceased)." (Muslim)
