YEMEN—A FORGOTTEN CRISIS

* Qurbani Distribution

* Providing Clean Water and Sanitation

* Providing Food Packages to Poor and Isolated Villages

To reap the blessings of Qurbani, and to help widows, orphans and needy families with clean water and food to eat this Eid, on behalf of Peace Matters (Charity No 1177370), I will be travelling to the blessed land of Yemen to hand deliver your Qurbani and Sadaqa—inshaAllah.

The Prophet Muhammad, sallalahu alayhi wa salam, looked towards Iraq, Sham, and Yemen and said:

"O Allah bring their hearts over to Your obedience and relieve them of their burdens." [At-Tabarani]

According to the World Food Programme, "20 million people in Yemen are suffering from hunger and malnutrition."

In a hadith quoted in Musnad Ahmad, Jubair ibn Mut'im says, 'We were with the Messenger of Allah, sallalahu alayhi wa salam, on a road between Makkah and Madinah, when he said':

"The people of Yemen are on the verge of ascending upon you as if they are clouds. They are the best (people) on Earth."

The land and people of Yemen have a rich history and important status in Islam. The war, which has dragged the country into ruin and left behind immense poverty.
