The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this,“ and he (peace and blessings be upon him) held his two fingers together to illustrate’. [Bukhari]

As-Salamu-Alaikum.

Firstly, Jazak Allah for visiting my page. A lot of you are aware of how I got involved in charity work. It was the last wish of my 7 year old daughter, who is no longer with us. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. But this beautiful girl, with a heart of gold, left behind something amazing.

Alhumdulilah, we have been able to raise money for the most needy in Africa. You can see all the projects we have completed there, largely thanks to your help, by visiting our Instagram page - MaryamsWishFoundation.

Maryams Wish Foundation would like to present a great opportunity for you to contribute towards: Umrah for Orphans 2024.

Insha’Allah we will be taking Palestinian orphans to the holy land to enable them to perform umrah as part of their psychosocial development and to further strengthen their imaan.

The orphans are currently living in camps in Jordan and Insha’Allah, I will be travelling with Islamic Help (our delivery partner) to Jordan to start our journey there.

From Jordan, I will be embarking on a remarkable journey with the orphans, on coach, travelling to Makkah. This spiritual trip by road, which can take as long as 30 hours (881 miles), will be a once in a lifetime opportunity for these orphans.

The cost of sending a single child is currently £600, but this could change due to inflation. I am not asking anyone to donate for a full child. If you are able to then Alhamdulillah. However, what I am asking for, is for you to please donate any amount you can. Can you imagine the rewards!

Any donation you make, will contribute towards sending a child to the holy land. Whatever amount you are able to contribute, may Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) accept it and make it a means for you to enter Jannah. Ameen!

Only with your help, can this once in a lifetime journey be made possible insha’Allah.

Lastly I would like to urge all of you to please share this as much as possible.

Jazak Allah Khair
