Story

As-Salamu Alaikum

In the Name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

I, Simoom Rahman, have embarked on a journey to help the communities of Kenya who are struggling with Prayer and educational facilities. Communities which have no basic means to educate themselves and perform their daily Islamic duties.

I am a witness to these rough conditions the communities face. Not long ago I had the opportunity to go Africa myself and see the standard of living and what they have to go through in order to live their lives and also practice Islam. I have seen some of the schools and Masjids and the unbearable conditions that they are in. This has has affected their lives; physically, mentally and spiritually. Not only are they struggling of basic needs, but they are struggling to educate themselves and progress.

Most of all they are struggling to practice Islam in peace and comfort. The only place where they can possibly go to open their hearts and connect with Allah is out of their reach. I have seen and heard that the people of the community have to walk 5-10 miles and more, just to get to their local Masjids and schools. The most distressing part is the vile experiences the community have on their way home from the far places and the stories of the awful mistreatment and abuse some have faced. This is due to the late night travelling to and from their homes. Some parents cannot even send their children to a Madrasah because of the difficulties. These are some of the reasons I have made it my duty to ensure our brothers and sisters do not face difficulties in going to the Masjid or Madrassah.

I have been given the opportunity to support Ummah Unity in building a Masjid and Madrasah in Kenya (2023). I would like to share this opportunity with you and your loved ones to participate in helping to achieve this. This Masjid and Madrasah will become the means for people to pray and study Islam.

I believe that we as a community, who have been blessed with such circumstances can help the people who are in need of a Masjid and a Madrasah. This means that the local community can fullfill their Islamic duties and receive education.

Every child has a right to become educated and have an opportunity to improve their lives and their family’s conditions. Every Muslim also has the right to pray and worship in a suitable condition. Let us be the means of providing them a roof over their heads while they praise Allah in congregation with light and warmth in the atmosphere.

I want us all to be a part of the progress of these communities and give them the opportunity to sustain their livelihood. It is also an opportunity for us all to receive ongoing rewards and it just may be that these contributions of Sadaqah become our door to Jannah (Baab As-Sadaqah).

Another year goes by and we are blessed by the will of Allah to see yet another Ramadan whilst remembering those who are not with us anymore. Giving in the name of those amongst our loved ones who have passed will be beneficial for the Akhirah. May Allah reward our efforts in abundance.

Uthman ibn Affan reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise.”
Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 450, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 533

Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“When a person dies, his deeds are cut off except for three: Continuing charity, knowledge that others benefited from, and a righteous son who supplicates for him.
— Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1376
