AsSalaamu alaykum to everyone
Forgive me as this is not the usual AI post. I just wanted to share that my 14-year son Ryyaan is taking part in a fundraising initiative for his voluntary grassroots community organization that provides a youth club (https://www.instagram.com/youthsanctuary_centre/) in an Islamic setting, they get to play games, pray together and a Naseeha session is provided for them, they are also provided with some healthy snacks. He is doing this as a service to his community, giving back, so young boys his age continue to have an opportunity to benefit from a service as he has done. His target is to raise £1000, this is the link to the Launchgood page. https://www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/ryyaans_project_barakah The organization runs other services such as weekly events for mothers and daughters, featuring self-defense, games, and inspiring talks and a Muslim-centric mental health (listening line), mediation, counseling, and intervention. The video by Abdullah Al Andalusi and co. explains better https://www.instagram.com/p/DHABBYtSeyl/ I know its our obligation to support the poor and needy around the world, so we use our Zakat for that, but we also have obligations to our local communities, your support will make a real difference to these vital initiatives! Your donation qualifies as 100% Sadaqa Jariyah. https://www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/ryyaans_project_barakah
