Ramadan Food Basket 2010

Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb.

'And be steadfast in your prayer and pay charity; whatever good you send forth for your future, you shall find it with Allah, for Allah is well aware of what you do.' Al-Qur’an (2:110)

The month of Ramadan is a time of fasting, but more so, it is a time in which Muslims are encouraged to help those in need. In the past 6 years, Masjid Abdul Gafoor’s Ramadan Food Basket Program has been greatly supported by Muslims in Singapore who generously donate to distribute food baskets to poor families to help them break their daily fasts. The food basket provides enough for a family of four to last the entire month of Ramadan, Insha Allah.

Contents of food basket may include:
Rice, cooking oil, condensed/evaporated milk, noodles (mee hoon, Maggi), sugar, tea powder/bags, biscuits, Sardine tins, etc.

Each basket costs $70 only. You are also welcome to donate any amount you wish for this program. Please do not donate foodstuff as we would like to standardize our food baskets.

May Allah (s.w.t) bless you and your family and accept your charity and Ibadah during this Ramadan. Ameen.

Wassalam

Ramadan Spring Cleaning

Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb.

Volunteers and members of the Masjid Abdul Gafoor (MAG) Management Board busied themselves on 31st July 2010 with spring-cleaning of MAG. Most of the time we are busy cleaning our homes and forget that the masjid too needs our help in cleaning up in preparation for Ramadan.

Dear Muslims, this post is meant to be a timely reminder for all of us to help the masjids in our vicinity in preparing for Ramadan. It doesn't matter which masjid benefits from your efforts. In fact, you are the one benefitting by earning the pleasure of Allah (s.w.t) when you indulge in such good activities at the masjid.

RAMADAN MUBARAK TO ALL OF YOU!
