HADITH

Narrated Ibn Umar: I heard ‘Umar while he was on the pulpit of the Prophet saying, “Now then O people! The revelation about the prohibition of alcoholic drinks was revealed; and alcoholic drinks are extracted from five things: Grapes, dates, honey, wheat and barley. And the alcoholic drink is that which confuses and stupefies the mind.”

11 Disaster Relief - Pakistan Floods

Situation Overview Heavy monsoon rains have once again caused devastation in Pakistan, killing more than 130 people and destroying thousands of homes. Intense monsoon downpour, including nearly 9 inches in just one day, has paralyzed the megacity of Karachi among other places throughout the region. Flash flooding took down many homes and businesses and the standing contaminated water is affecting tens of millions of people.

Hidaya Trust (Hidaya Foundation’s partner organization in Pakistan) has a strong infrastructure of over 300 team members across 8 district operation offices, and is active year round with nearly thirty projects and experienced in providing disaster relief throughout the country over the past 20+ years.

Please donate Zakat and Sadaqah towards the disaster relief and ongoing assistance of the region.
