Assalaamu Alaikum WRH Brothers & Sisters
Pray to our beloved creator that everyone would be in His safest custody, and enjoying a good health. Aameen.
Nobody is more compassionate and merciful than our beloved creator, sustainer, cherisher Allah swt. And by the blessings of Allah swt, our beloved prophet Muhammed (Peace & Blessings Be Upon Him) lived his life portraying full of mercy and compassion. There used to be
Baitul Maal in those days which used to serve financially deprived ones.
And I hope you'd be aware of the famous incident where our respected 2nd Caliph Umar (RA) picked a bag full of flour and other ingredients on his back to feed a widowed lady with children.
Last week I received a call from a respected ICNA sister, regarding a need for food for a newly revert Hispanic sister, Esmeralda Diaz.
Communicating with Sr Esmeralda a single parent, I came to know that she is undergoing a tough patch in her life, struggling to survive with 5 children. Recently, her van broke down on a highway and got towed away. Lack of funds made her loose her only mode of transportation.
Based on her family size, I packed the food from the
ICNA Relief Dallas Food Pantry, which you've donated and paid her a visit. Her house was neat and clean. Upon questioning, she responded she used to be in housekeeping job, but due to lack of transportation, she lost all of them. She prioritized ICNA Relief Dallas to help her find a job to support herself.
Our beloved creator Allah SWT has unique means and avenues to help His slaves. Same evening, I came across a Musalli of my masjid who owns a restaurant and needed an extra hand.
ICNA Relief Dallas facilitated her the job, and now, Alhamdulillah, Sr. Esmeralda Diaz has a job, supporting herself. Hopefully she would save enough money to buy a used van soon. Please support ICNA Relief Dallas and remember us and Sr. Esmeralda Diaz in your prayers.
