As-salamu alaykum my dear brothers and sisters,

Today, on Thursday 7th January 2021, we lost our dear and beloved father, Ahmed Ali to COVID-19. He was a loved father, grandfather, and husband. Please help us to raise £2500 to build water wells in countries where it is most needed in his memory as Sadaqah Jariyah. 

"When a man passes away, his good deeds will also come to an end except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (for the deceased)" Narrated by Abu Hurairah, Sahih Muslim

Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah reported:

I said, "O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died. Shall I give charity on her behalf?"

The Prophet (SAW) said: "Yes"

I said, "Which charity is the best?" 

The Prophet said, "A drink of water."

May Allah SWT accept our good deeds and efforts, forgive us for our sins and wrongdoings and keep us steadfast in our deen, Ameen. Please keep my father and the ummah in your duas. May Allah SWT grant us shifa and continue to give us the sabr and strength for the tests he afflicts us with. I pray that he does not take our soul until he is truly happy with us, Ameen.
