Bismillah.
I got this in an email from an Imam in Toronto. Please try to help out in any way you can (spreading news about it, donating, etc.) Remember that its from the sunnah of the Prophet to help out new Muslims, especially those in need, like Salman Al-Farsi.
General Idea
As support of new Muslimahs in the Toronto area, the team have created gift bags for them. In a gift bag, they include items such as hijabs, musallahs, a Quran with English translation, a book on how to pray salaah, a book about women in Islam, a book of duas, and a book of guidelines for new Muslims.
Some History
The team made 100 bags last year which were all distributed throughout the year. The sisters really found them useful and practical.
How to Help
Contact the sister leading the project at saarauddin [at] gmail [dot] com.
Remember that, “Whosoever intercedes for a good cause, will have the reward thereof; and whosoever intercedes for an evil cause, will have a share in its burden. And Allah is Ever All-Able to do everything.” [AlNisa:85].
bro it seems the project will take off faster if they can get a referal from halfdate.com as well as a formal introduction of the project with a picture of the bag and so on… 🙂
Masree saahib! 🙂
