MashaAllah, it was an experience to remember.  Alhamdulillah these are the final numbers they raised during the online lecture by country:

U.S. – $113,845
Canada – $38,461
U.K. – $2,320

The final total was $154,626 and all of that was raised in approximately 4 hours online.  Imagine if we did this every week for one cause at a time.  There were over 1,000 people listening in on the phone and online.  If you divide $154,626 by 1,000 you’ll get $154.626.  Did each of those 1,000 people donated that amount.  Probably not, but the fact that we had so much people giving amounts in large sums or small sums it added up to a grand value.  There was also much more people than just 1,000.  This is similar to how Barack Obama was successful in raising funds online with small donations.  I think Islamic Relief and other organizations should do this to raise funds.  It’ seems to be proven successful.

May Allah (swt) reward all those who donated.  May Allah (swt) help and protect the innocent.

As the world watches the grave events unfolding in the Gaza Strip, history is awaiting to document the actions humanity is about to take:

Shameful Inaction or Heroic Justice?

It is human nature to feel all kinds of intense emotions towards the atrocities in Gaza: anger, sorrow, shame, fear, sadness….yet history is filled with stories of these very emotions resulting in dangerously wrong courses of action. It is evident, then, that these natural feelings act as fog: blurring our hindsight and preventing us from seeing the big picture.

The question then is: in these trying times, how do we use hikmah (wisdom) instead of emotion when taking the right course of action for our Ummah?

Join us for a special Ilminar as we answer this very question and in co-operation with Islamic Relief launch a unique ONLINE fundraising effort for our brothers and sisters in Gaza. Be among those whom history documents as partakers of heroic justice, and above all, those who embodied the true message of Islam.
