As-salaamu Alaikum / Greetings of Peace,
On behalf of our beneficiaries, board, staff, volunteers, and other supporters, we wish you and your loved ones Eid Mubarak! May Allah accept your fasting, prayers, charity and good deeds.
During this blessed month, our donors joined together to provide nearly 5 million meals through food packages distributed to families in India, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Mexico, Pakistan, Palestine, Peru, Rohingya camps, Somalia, Syria, Turkey, and Yemen.
Most recently, donors joined the effort to provide emergency aid to our besieged brothers and sisters in Palestine. We are currently distributing emergency food packages and water for 224,700 meals and are planning for more aid distributions soon, insha’Allah (God willing).
As we watch in horror the events unfolding in Gaza and Jerusalem, we often feel helpless — but we are not helpless. We can pray and we can act.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) would often supplicate:
“O Allah, I seek refuge in You from anxiety and grief; from inability and laziness; from stinginess and cowardice; and from the burden of debt and oppression of men.” (Bukhari)
As more funds come in, we will be able to provide more aid. If you would like to count yourself among those who provided this aid, please make a donation online. If you prefer PayPal or Zelle, use our account email donate@baitulmaal.org.
Thank you for turning your compassion into hope for those in need around the world.
May your Eid be filled with peace, joy, and the blessings of the holiday.
May our hearts remain with the oppressed.
With compassion,
Mazen Mokhtar
