Story
As-Salaam-Alaikum everyone and thank you for taking the time to visit my page.
During the late hours of Tuesday 1st September 2020, I received the unfortunate news of my loving father, Salam Khan, passing. In his loving memory, we have decided to raise money to build a well in an underprivileged area in Bangladesh to support the local community who are deprived of clean water.
My family and I intend to build a community well using Ummah Hands to raise two water wells each costing £450 Insha'Allah. “When a person dies, his deeds come to an end, except for three: ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him.” (Muslim). We intend on this being my fathers Sadaqah Jariyah and Insha'Allah yours too!
Ummah Hands works by the non-discriminatory ethics of Islam, providing our facilities to people of all backgrounds, and faiths, men, women and children with focused efforts currently concentrated in UK and Bangladesh.

Please remember, Allah SWT will reward you immensely for all your efforts whether thats donating money or spreading the word to raise awareness Insha'Allah.
Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
To finish off, I wanted to note a hadith that resonated with me and I hope you can benefit from it too...
Abu Darda reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The father is the middle of the gates of Paradise, so keep to this gate or lose it.” Sunan al-Tirmidhī 1900
