Iraq Thirty Program

Dearest Parents,

Assalamun Alaikum.

Insha’all-h, this letter finds you in good health and imaan.
 
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of a project through Madressa.  The aim is to help orphans in Iraq.  There is an organization called Child Aid International that has a special program called “Iraq Thirty Program”.  The program enables a donor to sponsor one Iraqi orphan child for one month at the cost of $30.  The sponsorship helps provide food, healthcare, education and clothing to each child. 

The hope is to enliven the teachings from Kerbala to be considerate of orphans and create a sense of gratitude for all our blessings.  There will be discussions on the concept of how Islam encourages all to care for one another, as ultimately we are one ummah. In each classroom as well as at a central location, there will be a graph to track the amount of donations collected in the fundraising efforts of the Madressa children to sponsor the Iraqi orphan children.  

To further learn about the project, please take a few minutes to visit the below website:
http://www.childaidinternational.org/IraqThirtyProgram.html . This project will run from 1/17/10 through 2/14/10.  Please help this noble cause.

Jazak’all-h!  May All-h reward all our efforts and increase our blessings…Ameen!

Islamic Insights - Being the ideal daughter that she was, Lady Zainab (peace be upon her) followed in the footsteps of her mother in so many ways: they were patient in the face of troubles, they supported the divinely appointed leaders of the times, and they kept the message of the true Islam alive. Yet Lady Zainab was not the only one who followed her parents' teachings; rather, Yazid and his tyrannical supporters also adopted those methods of oppression which their fathers had used.

Islamic Peacebuilding Tool: Jihad

Written by Sayedeh Kasmai-Nazeran   

Conflict tends to demand a physical response from individuals. Understanding the nature and significance of one's existence however, is an empowering knowledge that forces one to rethink engaging in offensive violence as a response to conflict. When one is incapable of peacefully bringing about justice, instead of resorting to violence (which may itself result in another injustice), one might decide to instead observe patience. In observing patience, one might pray for the other party's return to peace or seek God's intervention to serve justice in the hereafter.
