DateDrive of صفر of 1431/Feb 2010
Type of DateDrive: Half a date (financial)
Summary:
Many families are suffering in this severe winter. So, to help them and in memory of
Abu Samah, the father of one of HalfDate volunteers who passed away this week (Tue Jan 26, 2010) we invite you to participate. So, if you wish you can give Sadaqh on his behalf, inshaAllah. A’ishah (rahimahullaah) reported that a man asked Allaah’s Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), “My mother had a sudden death, and did not have the chance to bequeath anything. Had she been able to do so, I think she would have given Sadaqah. Would she or I get any rewards if I give Sadaqah on her behalf?” He (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) replied, “Yes! So give Sadaqah on her behalf” -Collected by Al-Bukhari, Muslim and others.
Drive Deadline: Feb 22, 2010
