The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
"In Paradise there are rooms whose outside can be seen from the inside and the inside can be seen from the outside. Allah has prepared them for those who feed the poor, who are gentle in speech, who fast regularly and who pray at night when people are asleep" [reported by Ahmad 5/343
'IFTAR KIT' Distribution Project:
Iftar Kit Distribution Project was launched during the Ramdan 2009 with the help of generous contributions of philanthropists who are helping the organization fulfill its aims. Around 10,000 poorest of the poor families, belonging to different places in states like Bihar, West Bengal, Assam, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh and Haryana, benefitted from this project.
During the Ramdan 2009, total amount spent on this project was Rs. 70 Lacs.
THE PROPOSAL FOR RAMADAN 2010:
Our goal is to get the community involved in supporting families-in-need during this holy month of Ramadan. We want to creat an outlet for people to "do good" during this month. We also hope that Project Ramadan will also create awareness on poverty issues among the general masses.
We have planned to distribute a minimum of 10,000 Iftar kits during this Ramadan but with a slight modification in what we did last year, i.e., to distribute these kits with amonth's worth of ingreients instead of only 10 days' worth.
IFTHAR KIT CONTENTS:
Proposed contents of each Iftar Kit is as follows:
| 1. | Rice/Wheat Flour | 20 Kgs | 6. | Salt | 1 Kg |
| 2. | Sugar | 3 Kgs | 7. | Milk Powder | 1 Kg |
| 3. | Cooking Oil | 2 Kgs | 8. | Tea Leaves | 1/2 Kg |
| 4. | Besan(Gram Flour) | 2 Kgs | 9. | Dates | 2 Kgs |
| 5. | Dal (Pulses) | 2 Kgs | | | |
COST OF EACH KIT: Rs. 1,500 [US $ 35.00]
APPEAL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS:
Imagine how we would feel if after a whole day of fasting, we had only a cup of water and a piece of dry bread to break our fast? What if we had even less than that?
The Prophet Muhammad PBUH mentioned the reward of feeding the fasting when he reported that whoever feeds a fasting person to break his or her fast will get the same reward as the fasting person without any reduction.
Hence, we request you to extend your helping hand and cooperate with us in the march towards a better and prosperous society. Our relationship will lead to a far better world.
Thank you.
