We have been hosting a clothing drive for a couple of weeks now (in addition to some of the sisters taking time to accumulate cans for another organization's canned food drive) and are accepting clothing donations until next week. We hope for everything to come in by the end of this week because we wish to organize the bundles before bringing it to the refugee agency for distribution.
Please contribute! The Prophet (SAWS) said: “All that is sufficient for any one of you in this world is the supply of the traveler." So many of us have so so much in our closets--things we do not need or even use/wear. It is a waste to keep such things that can testify against us on the Day of Judgement, to show that we have bought into trends and consumerist ideals of wealth, the fitnah that plagues this ummah. Let us take advantage of the things we have been blessed with to give, to purify ourselves and our hearts. Ya Rab, please give us ease and guidance to the straightest path, ameen.
