As-salaamu alykum brothers and sisters! 

All praise is for the One who has allowed us to partake in a great task in these the best of days! 

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (sallaAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said: “There are no days on which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.” They said: “Not even jihad for the sake of Allah?” He said: “Not even jihad for the sake of Allah, unless a man goes out himself for jihad taking his wealth with him and does not come back with anything.” (Reported by Bukhari)

What do these blessed days have in common with the families Hhugs support? 

Simple.

Both are forgotten and overlooked by the majority of the people and both carry huge amount of blessings when partaken in. 

Brothers and sisters the need is real and the time is now. 

Where as it is sunnah for us to fast the Day of Arafah these families withhold eating so that they have for the days to come. Mothers eating little so their children have more. 

Mothers and children not living in third world countries but in our communities. 

Brothers and sisters like you are my own and I know you would be there for me if I ever needed you these are our people who dread days of Eid because others have and they have not. 

None has blessed us with these days but Allah so let's start these days by honouring them with charity. 

Charity we will forget about in a little while but will be a shield for us on the Day of Judgement. 

Charity for families in need. 

Charity for Muslims in our communities! 

Brothers and sisters Allah wants you to spend and these families need you to spend. 

It's so simple. 

Spend oh Muslims so that Allah may spend on you! 

JazakAllah khair
