I've raised £1000 to fund the Ramadan Homeless Campaign in an attempt to alleviate poverty and provide assistance as expected of us as human beings

Assalamu Alaykum,
Ramadan is now upon us Alhamdulillah.
We are fundraising money to help fund our campaign, which is to feed a homeless person this Ramadan.
Most homeless people have no place of residence or little possessions and require support to get back on their feet and helping them (regardless of their faith) is a duty on every Muslim and human being.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
Feed the hungry, visit the sick and free captives (of war)
(Al-Bukhari 5649)
He does not have faith in me who spends the night satiated while he knows that the neighbor to his side is hungry
(Al-Mu’jam Al-Kabir 751 - authenticated by Al-Albani
The one who looks after and works for a widow and for a poor person, is like a warrior fighting for Allah's Cause or like a person who fasts during the day and prays all the night
(Al-Bukhari 6006)
Alhamdulillah we have made this campaign fulfill our da'wah duty as we have decided to provide food and a gift bag to every person we encounter.
Each gift bag will contain:
*A translation of the Holy Qur'an in English
*12 Da'wah materials by the Islamic Dawah Centre International
*1 Hand sanitiser
*1 Face mask
*A list of the local homeless shelters in London
*Some dates
The Qur'an constantly speaks about calling others to Islam but how often do we actually follow this command. This is why we have decided to do da'wah and feed the homeless at the same time and fulfill both obligations.
Please support us by donating, sharing the page and encouraging others to donate.
Everyone has the ability to participate in this campaign, it is Shaytan who deters you from this blessed mission and it is up to you to decide on whom you please. Whether you please Allah (S.W.T) or Shaytan is down to you and I urge everyone to donate in this blessed month and continue to support us as we embark on our mission.
Note:
Some have criticized and mocked us for the work we do and refuse to support us (directly or indirectly) and we acknowledge this as part of the work of Shaytan, if we try to make the world a better place and fulfill our religious obligations and people make a mockery then they will answer to Allah (S.W.T) on the day of Reckoning and on that day will we see who is laughing and who is crying.
Allah (S.W.T) speaks about these people:
Those who mock/criticize such of the believers who give charity (in Allah's Cause) voluntarily, and those who could not find to give charity (in Allah's Cause) except what is available to them, so they mock at them (believers), Allah will throw back their mockery on them, and they shall have a painful torment.
(Translation by Mufti Taqi Uthmani - Surah Tawbah, verse 79)
We respond to such a person in the spirit of the verse:
The servants of the Rahman (the All-Merciful, Allah) are those who walk on the earth humbly, and when the ignorant people speak to them, they reply peacefully
(Translation by Mufti Taqi Uthmani - Surah Furqan, verse 63)
Please do your best to support this campaign but if you are not happy to support the project then you do not have to, but do not go to lengths in mocking the blessed work of da'wah and helping the poor.
If you have any queries or would like to volunteer then please email administration@muntahaal-ghayah.co.uk
Jazakallah Khayran for reading and supporting this blessed mission
