Assalamualaikum.
I pray ay this message reaches you well. Alhamdulillah it has been another busy day with the MCE team serving lunch, preparing and serving chicken and potato curry for 1000 people for dinner, interviews with several refugees from Syria and Afghanistan. Words cannot describe their situation and it is only by seeing it with your own eyes can you start to get an appreciation of the difficulties people face. It is heart wrenching to see the children who are subjects of the oppression of the government’s in their respective countries.
We have also met some truly amazing people who put us all to shame. They look after the refugees day and night, treat them with such dignity and even wash their babies with their own hands. I have learnt a lot from these amazing people and i feel that we ALL have a responsibility to do more for people who are suffering and live less fortunate lives than ourselves. In truth, we have very little if anything to complain about.
I would like to ask something from you today : that you make a special dua for the refugees and for people across the world who are suffering. Don’t ignore them, don’t make an excuse of being busy. Allah SWT is waiting to hear your dua, so raise your hands and make dua.
