Salam Alaikum
Hope you are well and in good health
It has been a long time since I raised money for charity & in the last few days of Ramadan 2020, I have been fully inspired by a group of amazing women who have encouraged me to take this step, so I have made intention to raise money for various things from now...till forever InshaAllah!
My sister Uzma passed away in November 2018 after travelling home from her first and only umrah. Those of you who know me, knew her.
Uzma was a shining light, my partner in crime, my best friend, my biggest supporter, my biggest critic, my secret keeper and let's face it - my right hand woman! It was an absolute honour to know Uzma for 28 years, she was a constant reminder of endless blessings that Allah has granted.
When our Grandma passed away she always found solace in her every memory, I used to admire it and still do, she was always like "if Naani was here..." and now we're all like"If Uzma was here.." how you live is how you are remembered. How Apt.
(Until I see you again my G! If Heaven Had Wifi x
I wanted to share that with you because when you donate, please remember not only Uzma in your duas, but her beautiful big brother Shahid Mahmood (who also passed away in 2018 - His page: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/shahidmahmood25), her naani (Khanma Bi), her naana (Abdul Karim) , her daada (also Abdul Karim) and her Daadi (Farzand Bi), because that's who she was the one that would pray for those that came before her. SubhanAllah x
I intend to raise money with Ummah Welfare Trust this Ramadan to build water hand pumps in South Asia as Sadaqah Jaariyah for Uzma Mehnaz... (for more info on these: https://uwt.org/projects/hand-pumps/)
Please donate what you can and share this with others x
Today please do two more things for me today:
Firstly, Whether you can donate or not, Please share and be a means for others to receive reward InshaAllah.
Secondly, Call your siblings! Check on your brothers and sisters and tell them you love them, hold them close, post this link in the family group chats, pray for each other, forgive their shortcomings and take time out for each other. (ok that was more than two things but you know!)
Keep me and mine in your duas and Donate freely!
Jaza'akAllah Khair x
