No hard slog, no need to work up a sweat, no physical exertion involved, it couldn’t be easier. How could you miss out? Eat. Sleep. Fundraise. Repeat.The Prophet (saw) said: “Whoever draws near to Allah during it (Ramadan) with a single characteristic from the characteristics of (voluntary) goodness, he is like whoever performs an obligatory act in other times. And whoever performs an obligatory act during it, he is like whoever performed seventy obligatory acts in other times.” (Ibn Khuzaymah)With 70 good deeds going for the price of 1, there’s no way you’re getting left behind, right? Well, you better make sure of it. In this month, if you snooze, you lose!Last year, those who joined the race with us raised an outstanding 81k, allowing us to relieve the hardship of hundreds of individuals across the UK.
For the 30 days of Ramadhan, they promoted their JustGiving pages by any means - on WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, some even getting their parents involved in the fundraising. For many, the target seemed daunting; indeed some had never fundraised before. But with sincere intentions, du'a and the help of Allah they made it: within 48 hours, people with no prior fundraising experience, managed to smash targets of £1000 each. Others went on to raise 10k by themselves. They made images, they made videos; they reached out to friends and family, all in aid of some of the most vulnerable families in the UK.
So, wake up and grab this opportunity to secure a mountain of good deeds by being one of HHUGS’ 100 winners and registering for our £100K Ramadan challenge.
