As Salaam Alaikum Brothers and Sisters,
As you know Stamford Islamic Center will be co sponsoring refugees in their settlement process in CT, we have our first family arriving in May. We will also plan a fund raiser for them and other families coming from war stricken areas.
Needless to say this is very important duty and most of us have already volunteered to help in different ways. May Allah (SWT) reward you in this world and hereafter for your generosity. Jazaak Allah Khair.
As Allah (SWT) said in the holy Quran, “Speak to my servants who have believed, that they may establish regular prayers, and spend (in charity) out of the sustenance we have given them, secretly and openly, before the coming of a Day in which there will be neither mutual bargaining nor befriending.” (14:31) (English – Yusuf Ali)
The father is 43 years old, wife is 32, son 14, son 12, and daughter 3 years old. They are Syrians currently in Jordan and speak Arabic.
