Assalamu alaikum
I cannot believe how quickly this year has flown by. It may be a reflection of my age or the fact that we’ve found ourselves so busy over the last 12 months. The recession has hit many of us, but none more than the poorest of the poor in the developing world. This has put an incredible strain on the resources of ATI and those of our global partners. It is, however, times like this that we feel proudest of our donors and your generosity. You responded exceptionally to the Gaza and Swat emergencies, the feedback from which you can read about in our annual report. Long term work has continued via our Millennium Development Programmes which have attracted a lot of attention and praise.
Please help us to help those most in need, send your Sadaqah, Zakah and Fitrah to us today.
HELP US TO HELP THOSE MOST IN NEED
M. Ahmed, Chairman
p.s We wish you and your family a great Ramadhan. May Allah reward your generosity.
The ATI Iftar Programme will be working with some of the poorest people in the world, providing them with food for breaking their fast. A family food parcel to last the whole month of Ramadhan only costs £40 and if you would like to provide a single Iftar this is £2.50. Hot meals are served in community centres and mosques in poor countries which also encourages people to come together for this blessed time.
KAFFARA: If a person breaks a fast in the month of Ramadan without valid reason, he or she is liable to fast for 2 consecutive months. If one cannot fast, due to valid reasons then he or she must feed 60 deserving people 2 meals, or give them the value of the same which, at £2.50 per meal, is £5 per person (60 x £5 = £300).
FIDYA: If one cannot fast due to old age/illness then one should pay £5 (2 meals) for each missed fast to a needy person.
For only £20 per month, you can help provide a decent education, improve and maintain the physical and mental health of the child and ensure other essentials such as food and access to clean drinking water!
Poor parents often can not send their children to school because of the fact that they need to supply their own books. It doesn’t have to be like that. For only £10 - you can provide a full years worth of books!
