Venue: Lecture Hall, Toynbee Hall, 28 Commercial St,

Following the recent earthquake in Kashmir a special iftar
gathering has been organised to help raise funds for those
who are suffering in this region. The United Nations estimated
some 4 million people were affected, including 2 million
who lost homes, and warned that measles, cholera and other
diseases could break out. The earthquake, which measured 7.6
on the Richter Scale, has caused widespread devastation in
Kashmir and surrounding areas in Pakistan, India and Afghanistan.
'The baby survived the quake but may not survive the cold'

This is a golden chance for all of them to gain the ridwan
(pleasure) of Allah, as the Prophet is reported to
have said, “Whoever assists a needy Muslim by removing his
hardship then Allah would assist him and remove all his
hardship on day of Judgment.” (Reported by Muslim)

It was reported that when there was an earthquake,
`Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azeez (rh) would write to his governors
telling them to give in charity.

The Prophet said: “Whoever meets the needs of his
brother, Allah will meet his needs.” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

All brothers and sisters are encouraged to attend this
event and inform others, especially those who work or study
in London. A brief update on the latest situation will be
given by the charities working in the region and how one can
more involved i.e. the need for volunteers. Donations will
be collected on the day and iftar will be provided insha'Allah.

DIRECTIONS: Come out of Aldgate East Underground (District Line) on to
Whitechapel Road. Turn Left, then left again on to Commercial Street.
Toynbee Hall is located about 200 meters up the road on the right.
