The Trek
Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales and is Great Britain's
highest
mountain south of the Scottish Highlands. It offers some of the most
spectacular views in the country standing at a height of 1,085
metres (3,560 ft).
The challenge will be to scale the peak of the
mountain, this will take plenty of guts, determination and hard
work, but it’ll be an experience of a life time Insha-Allah.

Charity Week 2009 is intended to serve the purpose of attaining the love of Allaah, seeking His pleasure and seeking His most honorable Face. In order to achieve this, we aim to serve the people in need; the poor, the orphans, and the elderly and others through projects and schemes that strictly adhere to the beautiful sharee’ah. Serving the poor and the elderly is a communal obligation (fard kifaayah) upon us, as they should be provided with a life of dignity and they must be given all human rights in full. Undoubtedly there is much good in doing that and whatever is spent on their care will be recorded with multiple rewards, inshaAllaah. Allaah says: “The likeness of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allaah, is as the likeness of a grain (of corn); it grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains. Allaah gives manifold increase to whom He wills. And Allaah is All-Sufficient for His creatures’ needs, All-Knower” [al-Baqarah 2:261] In addition, by doing this we are relieving distress and hardship, and helping our fellow Muslim brothers and sisters. This is strongly encouraged by the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when he said in a hadeeth narrated by Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him): “Whoever removes a worldly hardship from a believer, Allaah will remove one of the hardships of the Day of Resurrection from him. Whoever grants respite to (a debtor) who is in difficulty, Allaah will grant him relief in this world and in the Hereafter. Whoever conceals (the fault of) a Muslim in this world, Allaah will conceal him (his faults) in this world and in the Hereafter. Allaah will help a person so long as he is helping his brother.” [Reported by Muslim (4867)] This year the Islamic Society of City University & the five aforementioned Islamic Societies have decided to come together to launch, complete and maintain three heartwarming projects in three different regions and locations around the world. Each project is medically related and will serve to establish health facilities, hospitals, as well as providing a free health care service (free diagnosis, medicine & health educations) for displaced people who cannot afford these things that we take for granted. The first of the three regions we intend to liberate from the pain, suffering and difficulties of a lack of accessible medicine and health care institutes is the region of The North West Frontier Province of Pakistan; the Peshawar/Nowshehra/Swabi district. Peshawar is a very poor place and due to conflicts and disasters there are many widows, orphans and poor people who cannot afford basic medical treatment. We therefore propose to establish a permanent base for a medical centre, which could facilitate medical projects on a long-term basis. This base could also become the central avenue from where doctors can be dispatched and mobile medical ambulances to patients whom are unable to attend the centre. The centre will have various medical facilities including X-Ray, ECG, Blood Bank Laboratory, along with a 24 hour based emergency facility for ODP (Out Door Patients). Another saddening fact in the NWFP is that many women struggle during childbirth with some dying as a result. We would therefore include within this centre a dedicated section for labour to aid our sisters in these situations. [Patients in the current Peshawar Hospital] The second region is the village of Behrampura/Ahmedabad of Gujarat, where we have decided to set up a Dialysis centre. We presently have 2000 square feet of space and aim to construct a 6000 square feet building, necessary for the dialysis centre. At present the dialysis centre is running at Mariyam hospital but due to the lack of space within the hospital it cannot function efficiently. Therefore if, with the help of Allaah, we developed it independently we can assist 600/700 people every month and thus annually the centre can benefit more than 8000 people inshaAllaah. [The current Gujarat hospital] [Patients waiting to be treated in the current Gujarat hospital] The third and final region for this incredible project is the Mogadishu village in the Banadir region of Somalia. Here, we intend to establish a heath facility in the Mogadishu IDP camp. The centre will enable the poor families to get free diagnosis, free medicine & free health educations as the displaced families in the outskirt of Mogadishu are suffering from lack of health care, and the existing few little health facilities take from patients large amounts of money which these displaced people cannot afford to pay it. Therefore, by the permission of Allaah, this project will take an important role in aiding the poor families in Mogadishu and help to cover their needs to health services. [Patients in the current poorly equipped Mogadushar hospital] The combined total that these projects require is £120,000. The Islamic Societies of City University & the five other aforementioned Islamic Societies will be raising and collecting money on behalf of Ummah Welfare Trust (UWT) who have a strict 0% charge for administration costs, therefore every penny you donate will go directly towards the building, construction and maintaining of this blessed project. Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The good deeds that will reach a believer after his death are: knowledge which he learned and then spread; a righteous son whom he leaves behind; a copy of the Qur’aan that he leaves as a legacy; a mosque that he built; a house that he built for wayfarers; a canal that he dug; or charity that he gave during his lifetime when he was in good health. These deeds will reach him after his death.” [Reported by Ibn Maajah (242) and was classed as 'hassan' by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah] Donating money to establish charitable hospitals or healthcare centres are amongst the means of an ongoing charity that will benefit the donor after he/she has passed away. We therefore would like to humbly ask all brothers and sisters to donate as much money as possible for this great cause. Moreover, we would be tremendously grateful if brothers and sisters could kindly pass this message on to others, thus making people aware of this project inshaAllaah. Finally, we pray to Allaah that He envelopes us in His mercy, that He keeps our intentions sincere and that He opens for us the doors of Paradise through the gates of giving charity, Aameen. And may Allaah send peace and blessings upon His slave and the seal of the Prophets and Messengers, Muhammad, his family, his companions and upon all those who follow his way until the last day. Aameen. Wassalaamu ‘Alaikum Warahamtullaahi Wabarakaatuh City University Islamic Society, Queen Mary University Islamic Society, Kingston University Islamic Society, Goldsmith University Islamic Society, Greenwich University Islamic Society and the University of East London Islamic Society.
