HELP IN GAZA ($100.00)

Abdullah ibn Umar (RA) relates, I asked the Prophet (SAW),”Apostle of Allah, tell us the legal injunction about (visiting) Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem).¨

The Apostle of Allah (SAW) said, “Go and pray there. If you cannot visit it and pray there, then send some oil to be used in the lamps¨ (Sahih al Bukhari).

With this option, you can provide emergency relief through food, water, medical supplies to Palestinians in Gaza.
