Let's come to Imam Abdur Rahim Muhammad's aid!

As Salaamu Alaikum This is your brother Imam Dr. Salahuddin M. Muhammad,

Dear brothers and sisters, It has come to my attention that our brother Imam Abdul Rahim Muhammad is very ill and he needs our financial assistance. Abdul Rahim worked as a Muslim Chaplain for many years. He volunteered before he was hired by NYSDCCS. Please do what you can. The information I received is below:

Iman Abdur-Rahim Muhammad is suffering mightily. His Parkinson's is

worsening. His diabetes soars inexplicably out of control.

His extraordinary wife Rachel has been bearing the burden of doing

his dialysis herself, by hand, each day, For hours. Recently, Imam

Muhammad fell again, for the fourth time. There is a theory, in the

emergency room right now at University Hospital in San Antonio, that

Imam Muhammad may have had a small stroke. Blessedly, his dialysis

will continue in the hospital. An aspect of the Imam's current weakness might be an infection generated as part of a side affect of the dialysis.

There is a hovering possibility also that the Muhammad's might soon be

evicted from their apartment. Rachel's lupus which which she has had for decades, is growing more severe. And the teenage children of the

Muhammad's late daughter, Aaliyah, who died last year in a car

accident, are edging deeper and deeper into difficult lives. Aaliyah was

their caregiver, now all falls on Rachel, who has lost her child, and whose husband is fading from life. They are on the brink of being financially

broke. Realities for Imam Abdur-Rahim Muhammad and his

extraordinary are worsening with rapidity. Financial help is needed now.

Rachel's mind is incisive, her focus crisp, and though her voice remains

buoyant, her heart seems anchored in the deep mud of sadness. Faith is the source of Rachel's buoyancy. And an aspect of that faith is trust that

the Muslim community be of help in this critical time. The time is now,

please help this Muslim family, who was always there to help others.

The Muhammad's have served the world and G-d with profound and

relentless devotion. Pleas do all that you can to see that this appeal goes far and wide throughout the entire Muslim community. All monies

donated will go directly to the family, for the paying of bills. If you want

to send checks you can send to:

Yours in firm faith,

Imam Dr. Salahuddin M. Muhammad
