Assalamu Alaikum,

My children will be taking part in a 15 mile cycling challenge around Central London in July in shaa Allah to raise money for the Rohinga refugees who have fled to Bangladesh. The Rohinga are no longer getting any media coverage but their situation is dire. Thousands of men, women and children are living in squalid conditions with barely enough food to eat.

Many of you will have seen the video of the Australian brother Ali Banat who, after being diagnosed with cancer, decided to use his wealth to help the poor. His charity Muslims Around The World has taken it upon itself to not only provide aid for the Rohinga, but to build a whole community for them, with 5000 homes, schools, masjids and a medical centre in shaa Allah. Subhanallah! How amazing is that? We have chosen to be a part of this project and with one donation you can contribute to all these things too and gain countless rewards in shaa Allah.

So whether it is your zakat or sadaqa, please donate whatever you can. Even the smallest amount can make a difference.

Jazak Allah Khair and may you have a blessed Ramadhan.
