Assalamu Allikum Warahmatu Allahi Wabarakatu,
This weekend, I truly learned the name of Allah "Al-Fattah" (The Opener). I was invited for a conference in Tampa, FL to speak to the Muslim youth. We also had a very simple table for To Paradise International Relief, as you can see above.
I was expecting that we would raise $200 to $300. Alhamdullah, we were able to raise more than $2,400 in one night.
Our target by July was $3000 and alhamdullah we have now raised more than $4,000! This is the blessing of Allah. May Allah (swt) reward the community in Tampa, FL for their great efforts and reward all those who donated in the past.
BeithnAllah, you will see your gifts put into action this summer. Today, we have alhamdullah started preparing for the specific cases that we will help in Egypt this summer. More details will be posted in the next few weeks Insha'Allah.
The only thing that is left for us is to raise about $2,500 to buy a good video camera so we can videotape the events that we do. This will help us greatly in future publicity and fundraising efforts and will be a motivation beithnAllah for all of us to give for the sake of Allah. Please help us buy this camera below (XL2). It is a very good professional camera and at the same time, it is not too expensive. Remember that since the camera will be used for many years to come, it is a Sadaqah Jareeyah (Continuous Sadaqah). You can make a donation online by clicking on the "donate" button at the top of the page. If you would like to send us a check, please send an email to: toparadise@live.com for instructions on where to send the check.
May Allah (swt) give you the best of reward for your help and please stay tuned to the blog for updates Insha'Allah.
