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.
Alhamdulillah we are 14 days away from the beautiful and blessed month of Ramadan. May Allah allow us all to witness the upcoming holy month of Ramadan, inshaAllah.
Islam calls upon its followers to reach out to others with open hands, and to give in charity as a way of life. In the Quran, charity is often mentioned along with prayer, as one of the factors that identifies true believers. Additionally, the Quran frequently uses the words “regular charity,” so charity is best as an ongoing and consistent activity, not just a one-off here and there for a special cause. Charity should be part of the very fibre of Muslims.
"Be steadfast in prayer and regular in charity. Whatever good you send forth for your souls before you, you shall find it with Allah. For Allah sees well all that you do" [Quran 2:110]
May all the good that we do in Ramadan this year encourage us to continue doing good throughout the rest of the year, inshaAllah.
How will you give today?

NEW INFAQ PROJECT
Infaq Raya Hamper 2018
Let's experience the spirit of Eid together!
While we eat lontong, rendang, and many festive foods during Eid, they are small groups of people who have never been able to see Eid as we are. These groups fall under the families that have their breadwinner in prison due to drug issues. The ones that they hurt is not just them but the family they leave behind fending for themselves in this tough society.
In this project, we may not be able to solve every single one of the family issues but here we have identified about 500 families and we hope these Raya hampers will uplift their spirits this Eid.
Our Raya hampers will be distributed to Hira society beneficiary. Your contribution will help former drug addicts’ family in providing some reliefs in preparation for this coming Raya.
Hira is a body or entity that was established for the development of social and moral education especially those whose family members are involved in drugs or crime. The way to approach this group is through the method and wisdom of the contemporary science and psychology in developing a well educated and successful community.
Their mission:
• To guide individuals to be morally upright, socially resilient, healthy and professional
• Focus on helping drug addicts and ex-drug addicts and their families achieve educational and social success.
This is the second year this project has been organised by HEZOM XPRESS PTE LTD.
Beneficiary: Hira Society Members.

Alhamdulillah, with the success of our Ramadan Mutton Project 2016 and 2017, this year we are looking to provide red meat to the organisations that benefitted from our Ramadan Mutton projects for the past two years. We also wish to provide meat from this project to a few more beneficiaries.
This project will help to greatly reduce the costs for organisations that provide bubur iftar for Ramadan 2018.
******
Fresh/Chill Mutton (Less than 1 week of slaughtering)
• 1kg - $25
• 2kg - $48
• 5kg - $120
• 10kg - $230
• (1 sheep) - 18kg $330
- Closing Date for Fresh Mutton: 1st June 2018 -
Frozen Mutton (More than 1 month stored in Freezer)
• 1kg - $20
• 2kg - $38
• 5kg - $90
• 10kg - $178
• (1 sheep) - 18kg $313
Frozen Beef (More than 1 month stored in Freezer)
• 1kg $18

All costs for administration & logistics - air flown, cutting and delivery to organisations are already included.
In 2017, we managed to raise more than 4000kg of mutton. However, due to last minute requests, the quantity raised was insufficient, hence some of the organisations had to change to another type of meat for their iftar especially for the last week of Ramadan. This year by starting this project early, we hope to raise more so we can cater to the needs of the organisations.
For sponsors, you will receive reports of the meat distribution throughout and after Ramadan 2018. Postings will also be broadcasted in IslamicEvents newsletters and blog >> www.islamicevents.sg/blog.

Mission: To aid and provide poor families in Cambodia with proper housing.
While we are living in the comfort of our homes protected from the weather, others in different parts of the world may not share the same fate. Despite working day and night to support their families, they are still too poor to purchase land and build up their own houses. There are thousands of families living in poverty in Cambodia, and some of the houses are simply made of straw (as shown above). In this Wakf project, we aim to aid and provide these families with proper housing.
This project, managed by Infaq.SG, will help to purchase a small piece of land and build up the houses for these poor families. One of our staff members, who travels every 2-3 months to Cambodia to send support, will be overseeing this project.
Current Request: 10 houses
Location: 1 House @ Wilayah Koh Kong & 9 Houses @ Wilayah Sihanoukville
Completion period: 2 months + 1 month of Administration.
Wakf Whole House - SGD $3,600
Wakf Part of House ( Shared with 6 pax ) - SGD $630 each.
