Assalamualaikum Wr Wb,

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Thank you for subscribing to our mailing list. InshaAllah this email finds you and your family in the best of health and imaan. May the peace and blessings of Allah SWT be upon you and your family, inshaAllah.

The charitable act of giving food is key to being a devout believer, as well as a key aspect of Islam. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said in his first sermon in Medina: "O people, exchange the greeting of peace, offer food to people, honour ties of kinship and establish prayer at night when people are asleep so that you will enter Paradise in peace." [At-Tirmidhi]


In this Hadith, there is an indication that the act of giving food in charity is a cause for entering Paradise, and one of the greatest deeds in the eyes of Allah SWT. This is because food is a basic need for sustaining human lives and their physical survival. The act of feeding the hungry is an act of worship that gives rise to many other acts of worship, such as showing affection towards one's fellow Muslims.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr: A man asked the Prophet, "What Islamic traits are the best?" The Prophet said, "Feed the people, and greet those whom you know and those whom you do not know." [Sahih al-Bukhari 6236]

The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Giving alms can erase sins just like water ceases fire." [At-Tirmidhi]

INFAQ: Mutton ( All Year Round )

Mission: To support mosques and muslim organisations to provide halal mutton for their events / majlis. 

Throughout the year we've had multiple requests from various organisations for sponsorship of mutton, and often we have to reject them because we could only raise funds only during certain periods like Ramadan, or when we have Aqiqah Australia projects where we can bring in the mutton from Australia. 

To make this effort more sustainable, and for us to be able to respond to these requests, we decided to run this project all year round. 

This would also provide avenues for the community to continue supporting various events throughout the year. For Infaq Mutton ( All Year Round ), we will only raise funds for frozen mutton, as it is much easier to acquire and cheaper to purchase compared to fresh mutton. 

So far we have managed to collect 136kg of mutton, of which 30kg has been donated to Masjid Wak Tanjong, and another 50kg will be donated to Masjid Darul Makmur for their upcoming Monthly Hot Meal Distribution event on October 29th. Currently, we have 56kg of meat left. 

Current Mutton Request:

  • Masjid Jamiyah Ar-Rabitah has requested for 100kg of mutton for their upcoming event this Saturday, October 28th. We need your help to raise funds for 44kg of mutton by Friday morning, October 27th.

INFAQ: Free Food Friday
