Asalama'alaykum 

Inalillah wa inaillahi rajioon. To Him we belong and to Him we return.

Earlier this week, we were informed that Hajji Allah Ditta, the grandfather of our good friend Samayya Afzal, tragically and suddenly passed away in Pakistan. 

He was a loving grandfather and father to many in his community in Bradford and leaves behind a wealth of relatives and friends who will miss him dearly. 

On the authority of Sa'd bin Ubadah (RA) he said "O Messenger of Allah, Umm Sa'd has died, so which charity is best?" The Messenger of Allah (SAW) replied "Water (is best)". So Sa'd dug a well and said "This is for the mother of Sa'd) (Abu Dawud)

A couple of us have come together to fundraise for a community well project run by the charity Muslim Hands. These wells are often based in arid areas where water is particularly scarce and can end up serving more than a thousand people. 

May Allah accept from him and you all.
