Don’t Just Pray, Pay! – Imams Unite for Rohingya

With Covid-19 hanging over everyone’s head and all the grave injustices occurring around the world, we all need to act.

Remember: We can help. As Imam Suhaib Webb said, “Don’t just pray—pay!”

In these last days of Ramadan, Webb joined Imams Zaid Shakir, Yasir Qadhi, and others to host the Helping Hand for Relief and Development (HHRD) Rohingya Relief campaign. 

HHRD began providing relief to Myanmar in 2008. Since then the number of those being displaced and needing assistance has only direly increased.

“A Night of Reflect and Action” was a live broadcast focused on assisting the million Rohingya people living in the largest refugee camp in the world located in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Two weeks ago a fire ravaged the refugee camp creating further danger for those displaced to the camp.

Better Than 1,000 Months: Laylatul Qadr for Rohingya Refugees

{Better than 1,000 Months} A night of reflection and action for Rohingya RefugeesImam Suhaib Webb | Imam Zaid Shakir | Dr. Yasir Qadhi Donate Now: www.hhrd.org/rohingya

Posted by Suhaib Webb on Tuesday, 19 May 2020

Hoping to capture the blessings of Laylat al-Qadr, the imams recited Qur’an, made duaa for the refugees and appealed to viewers to rise up to the occasion, in line with the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammed, peace be upon him.

Funds being collected will provide relief in the ways of: 

  • Healthcare – $5 provides for one patient
  • Sponsoring Orphans and Children – $500 provides for 1 child
  • Shelter of Hope – $840 provides a shelter for a refugee family
  • Washrooms – $900 provides one unit of restroom in a 5 units project
  • Water for Life – $2,500 provides one water project for the refugees

While Rohingya refugees continue to flee for their lives with nothing but the clothes on their backs, it is crucial that we support the work of HHRD to save lives in the refugee camps.

The HHRD Campaign is 100% Zakat eligible. To receive your blessings, you can donate here.

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...

Taqwa – Living the Main Purpose of Ramadan

Taqwa is a major purpose for the month of Ramadan. The people of taqwa are those who do the things that they are commanded and avoid the things which Allah has made prohibitive. And evidently, to reach a state of taqwa requires vigilance, it requires patience and sincerity. The verse is pertaining to fasting I found in a single set of verses in chapter 2 starting at verse 183: O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous. ( 2:183 ) A Collective Act of Worship Allah is telling us that fasting has been made obligatory and then Allah tells us that just as it was prescribed for those before us. We often get asked this question in Ramadan, “how’s the fast going for us?” And if we gave ourselves a moment to think about it, we see that Allah Most High has made the fast inside the month of Ramadan easy for us because we know that there is a collective spirit to fasting; we know that we’re not alone in this ...
