One of the most widespread and dangerous problems faced by humanity is that of poverty. There is nothing more horrifying than the realization that as we live our happy lives whilst millions of others live in extreme poverty. At least 46% of Kenyans live below the poverty line and struggle to get through each day.

Today, I ask you to help me support my Aunt, who is a family friend for over ten years, to help keep her brother, Arif, alive. Arif who lives in Kenya has a rheumatic heart disease and needs urgent surgery for mitral valve replacement. Without treatment Arif's chances of survival are very slim.

My Aunt has tried her best to support the medical treatment by the use of her benefit allowance and through borrowing money from friends and family.However, the funds were not enough for him to receive the full medical treatment that he requires.

Lets help Arif receive the treatment that he requires.Please donate generously, especially since it is Ramadan the best month to give sadaqah and Zakat. On that note, I would like to share with you what the prophet (peace & blessings of Allah be upon him) said “Allah said, 'O son of Adam! Spend, and I shall spend on you." [Sahih Al-Bukhari]

"The one who looks after a widow or a poor person is like a Mujahid (warrior) who fights for Allah's Cause, or like him who performs prayers all the night and fasts all the day." [Sahih Al-Bukhari]

Those who fights in the cause of Allah have a very high place and status in Islam, it is one of the highest honors one can have. Therefore, please do make dua, share my page with your contacts and donate, even if it is £1.00.

May Allah s.w.t accept our efforts, intentions and our donations.

Ramadan Kareem.

Jazakallah for your time.
