O Allah, the Most Compassionate. Have mercy on the soul of Mojtaba Dadras. Forgive him, raise his rank among those who are guided. O Almighty, take care of those he leaves behind him. Grant him peace in his grave and resurrect him with the righteous.

None of you [truly] believes until he loves for his brother that which he loves for himself.

Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (RA), was known for his deep piety, generosity, and commitment to helping those in need.

Despite his status and responsibilities, he maintained a practice of personally attending to the needs of the poor and vulnerable in his community.

Among those he served was an old blind woman living on Medina's outskirts. Before dawn, Abu Bakr (RA) would discreetly visit her home to assist her every morning.

He would clean her premises, ensure she had water, and prepare her meals for the day, all before she even woke up. He performed these acts of kindness anonymously, preferring humility and seeking only Allah's pleasure.

One day, Umar ibn Al-Khattab (RA), after noticing Abu Bakr al-Siddiq do this a few times, decided to follow him. To Umar’s astonishment, he discovered Abu Bakr had been selflessly serving the old blind woman.

Umar (RA) was moved by this act of humility and service, realizing the depth of Abu Bakr’s compassion and commitment to the welfare of others, regardless of their status or ability to give thanks.

What do you hold dear?

Is it your time, or perhaps the knowledge you've acquired? Maybe it's your wealth or the depth of your faith in Allah?

Whatever you value most, make it a gift to those around you. In sharing love, we elevate and refine our being, allowing our faith to flourish.

Launchgood will donate up to $5,000 if we raise $10,000 by March 24th.

Countless underprivileged orphans face a life of despair, lacking the necessities of shelter, food, and care. We can transform their lives by providing shelter, a mosque, food, education, healthcare, and clothing.

We also have gifts for larger donations.

This Campaign is Zakat-Eligible!
