A small tribute to our brothers & sisters on the ground helping those in need – everywhere there is a need…
…

Through snow cold winter conditions to blazing hot summer days, they toil and they strive. They forsake the safety of their homes and the comfort of their families and put the needs of others above their own. They are the epitome of selflessness and so few of them are ever recognised.

I would like to take this moment to acknowledge these giants, these foot soldiers of Allah on earth – your average everyday citizens who work tirelessly on the ground to help those suffering in war-torn and poverty-stricken areas. Without them (after Allah), we would not be able to worship Allah through being charitable effectively and deliver medical aid on the ground to those in dire need, feed the hungry and clothe the poor, and help better the lives of countless communities and cities.

I ask Allah to accept from them, shower upon them His divine mercy, to grant them infinite barakah (blessings) in their work, to support them, protect them and return them to their families safely, and to reward them for every atom’s worth of good that they do for indeed Allah recompenses in the best way and no deed is wasted. I ask Allah to reward their families as well, in full, for their patience and physical and emotional support that they provide Allah’s foot soldiers on earth. Ameen.

To my brothers & sisters; I ask you all to remember these giants and their families in your most sincere prayers and to support them and their families in every way possible.

We are inter-dependent communities, and together – WE CAN MAKE THE WORLD 🌍 A BETTER PLACE…

Your brother – Sajid Umar
