Story

Don't Forget Burma !! 

‘(They are) those who have been evicted from their homes without right, only because they say, ‘Our Lord is Allah.'  -  Surah al-Hajj, Verse 40


The past few months in the Arakan state of Burma have seen over 90,000 Muslim Rohingya displaced from their homes. Savage violence perpetrated by vigilante mobs has led to a terrible situation for our brothers and sisters.
 

The Rohingya ethnic minority of Burma are trapped between severe repression in their homeland and abuse in neighbouring countries. Residing under oppression, they are forced to endure a life of misery and abject poverty. They have experienced forced labour, land seizures, arbitrary arrests, rape and torture.
 

Rohingya Muslims have been declared as non-citizens of Burma, making them legally stateless. There is now a coordinated campaign to erase the Muslim identity of the Rohingya by destroying homes, masjids, graveyards and archaeological sites. They are denied freedom of movement, education, health treatment and even marriage.
 

And no man helps a Muslim at a time when his honour is being belittled or his rights violated except that Allah will help him at a place in which he loves to have His help.’ - Sunan Abi Dawud


The Ummah continues to hurt and Muslims continue to be persecuted. But we will continue to aid them and continue to earn Allah’s pleasure, for indeed in this there is success. We are urgently appealing for Zakah, Sadaqah and Lillah donations to help it administer emergency relief to displaced Rohingya families in Arakan state and the surrounding areas.
 

Please respond to the cries by supporting Our appeal.


May Allah’s Mercy rain down on one of the most forgotten people of these times. Ameen.
