Haiti Devistated

Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere and has suffered a number of recent disasters, including four hurricanes and storms in 2008 that killed hundreds.

I urge you to donate if you have not already, so much sadness and destruction for theses people.

Muslim Mamma has details of Aid agencies here This could have easily have been you. We just don't know when do we? Images i saw of bodies piled up reminded me of the holocaust. A country in need truly.


"All of a sudden everything was just falling apart ... there was no place to hide"

The Gambia

We sat and chatted into the early hours about her expierences and thoughts while in The Gamiba.
Here are is a small selection of pictures she took that captured the mood for me. Also do you remember in the summer and this charity event i organised? Well the money we raised was for this very compound my friend visited.
First we can look at the poverty of The Gambia
At the school none of the children knew what a globe was , how was it possible to view the whole world , so the teacher drew one for the children to understand.


Quran stands that have been purchased with some of the money we raised.
The Orphanage



a nearby project that needs money to get it upright and finished.


Inside one of the class rooms where there are no blinds or protection against the scorching sun and the students move around to dodge the heat.

No tables just benches to sit on during class, no paper , no pencils nit even chalk and board.

some if not most falling apart

The roof of the class room and in the rainy season they get wet!



Now the natural beauty of The Gambia












This is a picture house in the town single screen complex!

The Last Prophet (sa) of Allah (swt) stated: 'He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand; and if he has not strength enough to do that, then he should do it with his tongue; and if he has not strength enough to do even that, then he should (at least abhor it) from his heart; and that is the least of faith' [Sahih Muslim]

Tears For the Palestinian People

How often do we forget about those suffering in the world? until we see a news boradcast of a terrible event happening there, today my duas and tears are for you.
The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, which produces detailed reports on each incident in the conflict in Gaza, said that the death toll this year was worse so far than the previous three years. It said 312 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza this year, including 197 unarmed civilians of whom 44 were children and another 14 were women. On the Israeli side, at least four civilians and five soldiers have been killed near or in Gaza this week.


My dua for my brothers and siters suffering , I unite with you under the flags of Islam, humanity and freedom, I ask Allah to aleviate your suffering and grant you peace, to live a life of freedom that you deserve and once had ameen.




Miyasar Abu Meatak was preparing breakfast for her children in the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun when the shell struck, her stepson Ibrahim said. Her children, aged 15 months to 6 years, were killed instantly, and she died shortly afterward in a local hospital, Palestinian officials said, and her two older children were critically wounded.
