[IslamCity] Islamic Relief - "The Forgotten Ones"

[Islahonline]

Title: Islamic Relief - Qurbani Appeal

ISLAMIC RELIEF INVITES YOU TO A FUNDRAISING EVENT TO REMEMBER THE FORGOTTEN ONES Disasters and tragedies affect people the world over but the plight of women is often overlooked. Whether it's caring for the vulnerable or supporting families, women are left to pick up the pieces with little help and even less recognition. The task of rebuilding destroyed communities is not an easy one but this is your chance to show your support. THE FORGOTTEN ONES PROGRAMME: Dinner, Nasheed, Voiceless (Theatre Play), Awards Ceremony and Fundraising.

Islamic Relief invites you to a ladies-only fundraising dinner and awards ceremony celebrating the achievements of Muslim women.

Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125) {And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33) The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim] The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)  also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
