Solat & Giving

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. O Allah, bless us with your wisdom and mercy, O Allah the most Merciful.

Thank You for subscribing to our mailing list. We hope this email reaches you and your family in the best state of health and Iman, Ameen. We also hope that our newsletter and updates have been regularly been the source of motivation for you and your family in becoming better Muslim and Muslimah, Ameen.

As promised, we will be touching on the 2nd Pillar of Islam in this issue of INFAQ and that is Solat. Solat literally means prayer. According to Syariah, Solat is an act of worship with certain movements and recitals that begin with Takbeeratul Ihram and end with Salam.

As one of the Pillars of Islam, Solat is mandatory. However, the decision to perform Solat is made by each individual, themselves. Frankly speaking, talking about Solat is easy. Carrying it out is another issue. In reality, Solat is the most difficult thing to be carried out. Agreed?

Reasons:
- Busy schedules
- The inconvenience of taking wudhu' in public toilets
- Limited access to Musollahs
- The laziness that always struck during prayer time
- The whispering of Syaitans, which always become the excuse
- And many more.

Thus, what is the connection between Solat and Giving?

The connection between Solat and Giving is when you are able to GIVE the above excuses solution and making sure that your Solat is carried out. And the solution is actually, the ability to GIVE YOURSELF SINCERELY TO ALLAH S.W.T. after you have declared the Syahadah.

Through Solat, you engages yourself with Allah s.w.t. and HE in return listens to you. If during your engagement with Allah s.w.t you are NOT GIVING your full conscious sincere participation, how will Allah s.w.t confirms your servanthood to HIM? Or how will HE gives what you are requesting from HIM?? This is equivalent to the saying "what you give is what you get".

Remember! While Syahadah represents the WORD of submission to Allah s.w.t, Solat represents the ACT.

Stay tune to our next INFAQ newsletter where we will reveal to you the relationship between Puasa and Giving.

Wakaf Housing Project in Cambodia

The Messenger of Allaah (pbuh) said: “Part of a man’s happiness includes a good neighbor, a comfortable mount, and a spacious abode.”

As of now Alhamdulillah we have succeed in building 7 houses.

And now we are in the process of building another 6 more houses.

Latest update:

2 houses are 95% completed.

1 house is in queue.

Insyallah we are able to take in 3-5 more houses.

Please note that each housing project may take about 3 months to a year to complete.
Depending on weather conditions and queue.

Shelter is one of our most basic needs: Without it, it is almost impossible to carry on any other kind of activity or live a comfortable life. Yet at least one in every four people worldwide live without decent housing and over 100 million people live in absolute homelessness. A place that keep us safe; A place we seek sanctuary from; A place to rest and sleep in, that we can call home to most of us but not everyone has the opportunity to own it.

While we are living in the comfort of our homes protected, 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 build a house of their own.

Cambodia are home to nearly 2,700 homeless (as of 2017) who are living in poverty. How lucky are we to live in a HDB flat with clean tiles, proper room to sleep in and only our family members reside in it but as for them it is good enough to have a place to stay even if they have to share it with other families.

In this Wakaf project, we aim to aid and provide these families with proper housing. To give them a shelter that they need.

We hope you can also be a part of this and help to give the family a better place for them to live in.
