'Whatever you spend with a good heart, give it to parents, relatives, orphans, the helpless, and travellers in need. Whatever good you do, God is aware of it.'" [Al-Quran | 2:215]

Eight million people have been affected by the 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Nepal - more than a quarter of the country's population, says the United Nations.

International aid has started arriving but there is still huge need - 1.4 million require food aid, the UN said. The death toll has risen to 6,700, with almost 14,000 injured with the worst earthquake in 80 years, officials say.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Every Muslim has to give in charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 2, Hadith 524]

It’s a duty upon every Muslim to help those in need. We, at Muslims in Hong Kong, are calling out to all the individual Muslims and organizations within Hong Kong and afar to donate towards the Nepal Earthquake Appeal.

MIHK has come together with Muslim Hands who have a long history of work in Nepal and they are on the ground, delivering vital emergency aid right now.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said: "Give charity without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity." [Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 589]

"The alms are only for the Fuqara' (the poor), and Al-Masakin (the needy) and those employed to collect (the funds); and to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islam); and to free the captives; and for those in debt; and for Allah's Cause, and for the wayfarer (a traveler who is cut off from everything); a duty imposed by Allah. And Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise." [Al-Quran 9:60]

Please donate generously and let the people of Nepal know that Muslims in Hong Kong are with them through financial aid and heartfelt prayers.

May Allah grant ease to the people of Nepal and make us the means of their ease.
