AUN.

Sad thing about it is when I see little infants. they cry at even the slightest discomfort, can You imagine infants in Somalia in this drought? They probably cry right up until they die.

Yea bro, Ilaahay baa u maqan masaakiimahaan. Even if walaalahooda Muslimiinta forgot about them. As the hadith goes whoever removes a hardship from his/her brother, Allah swt will remove a hardship from You even greater than that Yaum Qiyaamah. Just imagine if You give money to someone or a family on the brink of starvation what Ilaahay will do for us in return iA.

May allah be with them. amin

[FarhanYare]

may allah end this tragic drought and replace it with adequate rain amiiin

[fatimazahra]

AUN ilmaha masakinta ah!. "O Allaah, send upon us helpful, wholesome and healthy rain, beneficial not harmful rain, now, not later". "O Allaah, provide water for Your servants and Your cattle, spread out Your mercy and resurrect Your dead land".

This truly saddens me. I hope Allah grant them to Jannah.

The sad thing is everyone who has a solution to this, is commenting on it on the internet. We've go to do better. It's time to wake up and forget about the nonsense and let us help our people.

Ilaahy masaakinta ha oo sahlo, even if we send mony who knows if they will get it...mid imaan la uun ba jeebada ku shuban.

sax lakiin if in doubt you could always call one of your reletives in somalia or kenya who may know someone trustworthy that would actually pass the money to this helpless people.. what do you think about my suggesstion Helwaa? coz thats what i did myself.

Walalayal all of us should donate there are many Islamic agencies who are working in this region/our homeland..
if we can all spare change/50/100/25/ whatever you can just use ur visa/or credit card it only takes couple of minutes
and you'll feel better knowing that within you ability you are helping your brothers in their time of need...May
Allah swt open His doors of Mercy for them....... adunyadan waa la isku keen eegaya wallahay Allah cidna wax uma waayin.
Walaladeen if everyone of us who uses this board donates whatever they can then spreads the word to their families/relatives so they can donate too
walaladeen wax wayn ayey u taraysa, do not belittle anything you are giving as sadaqah Rasullullah saw said: fear the Fire, even if by giving half a date (in charity)
Fa inna ma'al 'usri yusra. Inna ma'al 'usri yusra. Verily, along with every hardship is relief. Verily, along with every hardship is relief....... Somalia way waa udiyaar Yusrirelief..Allow caawi masakinta...

here are some trust worthy organizations that I know of...
