Assalaamu 'Alaikum - Peace and blessings from Allah be upon you and your family,
I am excited but very worried as I write you with THREE announcements. You can Help, pass it on or ignore it, it is entirely up to you.
1. A major 1Eid sponsor did not make payment last minute and has jeapordised one of our Eid prayers thus we urgently need £8,000 raised for the Marquee (in case rains), inexpensive carpet and electricity generator. Help, pass it on or ignore it
www.justgiving.com/eid-prayer - Thousands will Pray! - I pray you invest £10 / 100 / 1000 / 5000
2. Need volunteers to leaflet and help us promote so someone can come with his family to pray Eid according to the Sunnah and earn that reward with ease by passing this request on www.facebook.com/EidCC & www.1eid.net
3. Two new venues on top of our established three locations. Five in total please join us we are already strugling and need volunteers for the following:
- Leafleting at Taraweh / Shops / Friends
- Day before Eid setting up help
- Day of Eid Help
- Day after Eid clearing park (always only 3 of us cleaning up after 30,000 so unfair)
- Video Filming, Editing, Photography, Graphics Design
- 1Eid Stalls need volunteers to run them
- Security (Morning, Day & Night shifts)
- Ushers throughout the event
And of course help us fundraise. Sponsors have hurt us three years in a row and this year could finish us if we do not get support. If you do nothing we will quietly disappear and we can return to hiding Eid in the Mosques. Do something and we may achieve Allah's pleasure and establish this sunnah revival and destroy Islamaphobia in a REAL and Practical way.
Thousands of Muslims excited to do Da'wah or get involved in the Olympics, By Allah you have something far better at 1Eid as the hadith states "Every nation has its festival and these Eid 'ain are your festivals"
"Give them a halal and healthy festival else they will turn to a haram and harmful festival" Br Jalal ibn Sa'eed - Founder, Trustee and Volunteer
I ask Allah to bless you with the best of Ramadan, Layla tul Qadr, Salvation for you and your family and that you may be blessed to look upon His Face, Ameeen Yaa Rabb.
Wa Salamu 'Alaikum
