Earth Quake, List of Charities,

(12959)
Tuesday, October 11, 2005 08:13 AM 

We all have reservations and prefrences when donating. In the wake of 911, we do want to donate
to a decent organization and obviously want to make sure that our money reach the needy fast and secure.
Every one has different criteria of judging Charities. Following is a list for your convinience. Please donate through whomever you feel comfortable with
but please do, because this is the right time:
- Ramazan is here (70 times greater sawab),
- your poor country men need help desperately,
- Its our responsibility.

Almighty Allah Says in Holly Quran:

"Those who spend their wealth in the cause of Allah, and do not follow up their gifts with reminder of their generosity or injury, Their reqard is with their lord.
On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve"
Al Baqra 2:262

Allah has blessed us with so much, and we must unite to help begin reconstructing the broken lives of our fellow Pakistanis. I ask you to please open your generous hearts and donate to organizations helping out with this cause. It is the holy month of Ramadan and InshaAllah the rewards for donating today will be even greater. We all seek Allah Subhanahu WaTa'Aala's mercy and forgiveness and we pray for His Mercy on our brothers and sisters in Pakistan.

On HDF website you can sign up to volunteer and they can guide you help reach out to the community.

If you know any other charities, please mention here.

My humble suggestion is that people print out the list, attach an envelop, with your desired charity, and a postage stamp and place at your nearest desi grocery store/mosque.
You can give your Gora Coworkers the Christian charity info.
Lets all work together to help our brothers and sisters.

Regards,
Anis
