Brothers and sisters, most of you would by now be aware of the crisis in Syria and would have seen the horrific pictures that are being broadcasted on TV during the news. The conditions are very difficult for our brothers and sisters in Syria. Millions are forced to flee their homes and now live under extremely difficult situation in various makeshift camps in and around the bordering countries Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan & Iraq.
The winter is fast approaching and the temperatures usually drop to sub zero in the region and as you can imagine this makes living in these most basic makeshift camps extremely difficult so it is very important that we as Muslims help our brothers & sisters as much as we can while at the same time remembering to include them in our prayers everyday.
There is currently an urgent appeal organised by a number of masjids in the Luton area in association with the Global Aid Project and they have asked that we participate and donate generously in an effort to make life a little bit better for our brothers & sisters during this winter and they are appealing for: Blankets (No Duvets), Winter Clothing & Medicine.
