When my husband got
arrested in 2006 a whole new world was opened up to me, because I was thrown
into a world which beforehand I was oblivious to. For a long time my husband
was the one who paid all the bills, did the shopping, I hardly went anywhere!

So when he got arrested it
was a big culture shock for me, even though I had a feeling this was coming (because
it was happening to everyone!) the thought that I was going to have to do these
things myself I had never contemplated!

HHUGS helped my family so
much and were generally concerned for our well being; not only did they help us
financially, and with shopping, they always tried their utmost best to find us
someone to take us to the prison and if that failed even in the early morning I
remember them sending a cab round to take us to the prison and they paid for
it! And I believe Allah put barakah in their efforts because I remember one time
the cab driver was a Muslim and didn’t ask for all the money, al-hamdulillah. One volunteer even donated a car to us. 

If that wasn’t enough most importantly they offered us their
FRIENDSHIP! They invited us to their homes and showed us true love which I had
never witnessed before in the ummah here in London.  Their striving to help
those distressed inspired me and at times saddens me that I'm not as active as
they are.

And even up to this day
they still check up on us to see if we are ok!

May Allah bless and
increase this organization in all good, and give all their workers al Firdaws!

Ameen thumma ameen
