The worst season for struggling families is now here.

Winter’s biting winds and rains have arrived, bringing with it even more poverty and hardship.

Higher fuel costs and a lack of protection against the cold will stretch many families across the Ummah to breaking point. The outcome, especially for the young and old, could be devastating.

‘Be merciful to those on the earth, and the One in the heavens will have mercy upon you.’ [Tirmidhi]

Though we cannot stop the cold, we can help needy families and their children to fend off the cold and stay warm.

Just £100 can provide a family with the essentials needed to stay warm and fend of the cold.

Despite not being seen as an emergency, more people die in winter than during any other season. So let us be generous, and use the sustenance Allah has given to bring warmth and save lives this winter.

All donations go to ‘Most Needy’ and will be spent on either items or grants in the country needed most inshaAllah.
