Imam IbnulQayyim Islamic Foundation has distributed bags of rice, beans, yam flour, vegetable oil and tinned tomato paste to needy fasting Muslims in Ibadan, Oyo State capital.
The Foundation also gave out cash to selected widows as part of its project tagged 1442 Ramadan Welfare Package which took place at Muflihun High School, Muslim-Ifelodun area, Ibadan.
The beneficiaries most of whom were widows and the less privileged profoundly appreciated the foundation.
They prayed to Allah to continue enrich the donors and the management of the foundation.
One of the recipients, Mama Maryam, expressed her appreciation to the management of IbnulQayyim.
She remarked that this year’s package was more superb than that of last year as vegetable oil and tinned tomato paste were added to this year’s package which were not inclusive last year.
She expressed her joy on the relief materials given to her family. She then prayed to Allah to continue providing for the foundation and her sponsors.
The Director of the Foundation, Rasheed Haashim, stated that the foundation has been embarking on provision of relief materials and welfare packages to Muslims in the month of Ramadan and beyond for years ago.
He appreciated the Foundation’s board of trustees, the committee members in charge of 1442 welfare package and all the sponsors of the project.
He appreciated members of Islamic Discussion Forum and UNILOMGA as over 90 percent of the funds were donated by them.
He promised that the management of Imam IbnulQayyim Islamic Foundation will not relent its efforts of making life comfortable for the poor Muslims.
Haashim then urged well-to-do Nigerians to support the Foundation in all its projects by donating generously to the foundation’s Stanbic Account with account number 0011565209.
He assured donors of judicious use of their donations as the motto of the Foundation still remains: “Caring for the less privileged with fear of Allah.”
He reminded Muslims of a hadith where the noble Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: ” Do not withhold your money by counting it (i.e. hoarding it), (for if you did so), Allah would also withhold His blessings from you.” (Bukhari transmitted it)
