Mercy Relief Half Marrakech Marathon for Palestine
Fahim Abdullah is raising money for Mercy Relief
Story
Assalam warahmatullahi wabarakatu brother and sisters,
For those of you that have been following my journey, alhamdulilah in November I climbed Mount Snowdon alongside my brothers from City ISoC and Mercy Relief to raise awareness for our brothers and sisters that are suffering during the current conflict in the Gaza strip. Alhamdulilah as a collective we raised £42,170 to date and successfully fed families including widows and orphans during the ceasefire.
However the attack on the children of Palestine is still ongoing. At the time of writing this 18,412 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli attacks. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. These people are not just a statistic, they are children and widows who had goals and dreams just like us. Most of whom are innocent children, who we've all seen going through extreme pain and trauma, that urgently need you help. They require food, safe drinking water, medication and shelter.
Dua for Palestine:
O Allah, help and protect the people of Palestine. O Allah, ease their pain and suffering. O Allah, bestower of Mercy, bestow your mercy on them. O Allah, open people's hearts to give in this time of crisis. O Allah, help those who are in need, wherever they may be. Ameen!"
Insha'Allah I'll once again join Mercy Relief to take on the challenge of running the Marrakech Half Marathon. I want to provide another 15 family emergency aid packs for the children of Palestine with your help. I encourage you all to help by speaking to friends and family to raise £100 to provide an emergency aid pack to feed and support a family in Palestine.
Emergency Family Food Pack Contents - £100:
Feta cheese
Tins of Fava beans
Bottles of water
Cans of Tuna
Bags of Sugar
Boxes of Tea
Corn
Packs of Meat
Bags of pasta
Boxes of dates
Please note : The items are subject to change based on availability of items, however, Mercy Relief ensures the value of the kit remains constant.
Millions are now displaced including many women and children, having fled from their homes in fear of their lives. 1.7 million innocent people have been displaced from their homes, which is 81% of Gaza's population.
Mercy Relief, a UK-registered charity, are dedicated to supporting these people who urgently require our assistance to relieve their burdens of hunger, thirst and suffering.
We've lost everything we've ever owned. Now we're living outdoors in a makeshift tent, moving from place to place. We have no electricity, no food, no water and no medication for our children who are hurt. Please help us urgently."
Please support the people of Palestine now and reap the rewards of giving charity to the oppressed, the hungry, the thirsty and the displaced.
Whoever relieves a Muslim of a burden from the burdens of the world, Allah will relieve him of a burden from the burdens on the Day of Judgement. And whoever helps ease a difficulty in the world, Allah will grant him ease from a difficulty in the world and in the Hereafter.” [Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.]
“Whoever saves one life, it is as though he has saved all of mankind.” [Qur’an 5:32]
Jazākallāhu Khayrā for taking time out of your day to read about the people in Gaza. May Allah reward and bless your generosity and constant support.
