Palestine Emergency Appeal

Jun 2, 2021

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said:

“The parable of the believers in their affection, mercy, and compassion for each other is that of a body. When any limb aches, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness and fever.”

[Sahih al-Bukhari 2586]

 With the escalations in Palestine since May 2021, many civilians were forced to endure several consecutive days of intense bombardment, resulting in over 232 Palestinians killed (including 65 children), and over 1900 people injured. The damage also caused many infrastructures to collapse leaving thousands of families displaced.

Al Huda Institute and Elementary School partnered with Islamic Relief to provide the much needed support to those affected by this devastating conflict.

With your help, we were able to raise $18,424 to support our brothers and sisters!

Ramadan is a time when Muslims not only engage in Fasting and Ibadah, but also spend quality time with family while enjoying meals and exchanging gifts. As we celebrate this month with our loved ones, lets not forget our brother and sisters who are in dire need of basic necessities.

SHARE YOUR BLESSINGS WITH THEM

by supporting Serving Humanity’s annual Ramadan Food & Toy Drive!

“The Prophet (SAW) was the most generous of all the people, and he used to become more generous in Ramadan…”

[Sahih al-Bukhari 3554]

Your support can help bring a smile to someone’s face and brighten up someone’s Eid by helping us purchase a Toy or an item for a Food Pack!

Our goal this year is to distribute

 

300 Food packs

1 Food pack = approximately $50

1 toy = approximately $20

Don’t miss the chance to reap the benefits of the most blessed month of the year!

WINTER CARE DRIVE

Give the Gift of Warmth to someone in need!

With winter now approaching, many individuals and families in our local community will not have the ability to purchase warm winter gear. The year 2020 has brought forth difficulties for many people due to Covid-19 so the need is especially strong this year. This is why Serving Humanity, in its annual Winter Care Drive has launched this year with the upgraded goal of helping 450 individuals with winter care kits.

“Whoever helps ease one in difficulty, Allah will make it easy for him in this world and in the Hereafter.” [Sahih Muslim]

You can be a part of easing the difficulties of others today so that Allah eases your difficulties in this world and in the Hereafter. Support our campaign by making a donation and helping us purchase items for a Winter Care Kit. A standard Winter Care Kit can include winter coats, accessories, and/or hygiene products which will be distributed locally amongst Muslims and Non-Muslims in need within the GTA. You can donate for a Winter Care Kit that costs approximately $40, or any amount.

Please note that due to Covid-19, this year we will be collecting monetary donations and distributing new coats only to ensure the health and safety of our recipients. For any further inquiries related to the campaign please email serving.humanity@alhudainstitute.ca. 

Please note that this drive has completed. JazakAllahu Khairan Katheera to everyone who contributed.
