Its that time of year again when we’re embarking on spiritual journeys as well as being aware of our obligations to humanity. A Ramadan drive is being held in Cape Town by Reidwhan Ganief and Yasmine Ganief, to help ease poverty in townships. Mosques and Madressas are at the focus of this drive providing fellow Muslim’s with food to break their fasts, and in some instances providing for Sehri if it is possible.

Food costs have escalated. The struggle to survive has become a serious problem for many Muslims, especially in the townships (both traditionally coloured and black townships). Muslim foreigners have also been at the forefront of concerns due to the recent Xenophobic attacks.  Sehri and Iftaar (Boekah) will not be pleasant for many.

Make a contribution, and the duas of the hungry will aid in your spiritual upliftment, Insha-Allah.

“Whoever gives food to a fasting person to break his fast, shall have his sins forgiven, and he will be saved from the Fire of Hell, and he shall have the same reward as the fasting person, without his reward being diminished at all.”
- [Narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah]

In order to assist, there is collection of ingredients for soup and other food stuff such as that listed below. Your support will be appreciated in whatever means your can comply with. Even small contributions with the likes of a loaf of bread, they all add up. Donations in monetary form are also welcome, and will be used to purchase ingredients for meals

Items include:
Vegetables, Rice, Beans, Dahl, Lentils, Bread, Meat, soup bones,
Spices such as salt, pepper or other
Milk, sugar
Other suitable food items

Donations of good quality clothing for eid and Islamic literature will also be appreciated.

With your donations hundreds of people will feel the blessings of Ramadan in the form of food to their tummies. A meagre attempt to satisfy our obligations to the Ummah, partake in your duty to humanity.
