Alhamdulilah, by
Allah’s mercy, Hhugs were able to assist me and ease some of my financial
burdens that were upon me.

Allah says “And
He will provide him from (sources) he never could have imagined.  And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then
He will suffice him” (65:3).

My life and
finances had drastically changed due to the imprisonment of the bread-winner of
the family, my husband, so I found myself on benefits.  Alhamdulilah sustenance is from Allah, but it
still wasn’t enough to meet all my necessary costs such as education and food
expenditure.  These areas in particularly
is where I found Hhugs assistance crucially beneficial.  May Allah bless all at Hhugs and whoever aids
Hhugs to enable them to give support to Muslim families who really do need
it.  It is important that Hhugs have the
financial capabilities to be able to continue in helping families that have
been destablized due to the continuous harassment and imprisonment of their
husbands, sons, etc.

Allah says “Verily,
those who give sadaqah, men and women, and lend Allah a goodly loan, it shall
be increased manifold (to their credit), and theirs shall be an honourable good
reward (paradise)” (57:18)

Also Allah says “Take
sadaqah from their wealth in order to purify them and sanctify them with it…” (9:103)

There are so
many ayaat and ahadith encouraging charity and as we know it never decreases
one’s wealth, and is very beneficial to us Muslims in this life and the
hereafter.  May Allah accept our good
deeds. Amin.

This is an
important reminder to those who sponsor or help to fund Hhugs as a charitable
organisation.  As we know from our
beautiful religion Islam is that when we die and are in our graves we still
receive the benefits/rewards of sadaqah jariyah if we put our money,
possessions, wealth, knowledge etc into the right places.  HHUGS assists Muslim children to go to
Islamic schools by paying for their fees. 
Therefore every child that HHUGS pays for has a ripple effect as any
knowledge learnt by the child, and then he goes on to teach others, like his
siblings, friends, parents or his/her own children when they are adults, and
then whoever benefits from the knowledge spreads it, it goes on and on.

Can you imagine
the rewards that will come to you in your grave inshAllah because you
contributed to these children’s education by financially helping HHUGS?  So please never underestimate the
significance of sadaqah as there is always something to gain in this life and
the hereafter, and never nothing to lose.
