Blog quake day

18 days have passed since the massive earth quake hit Southeast Asia. 18 days have passed since almost 79,000 people died and a few million became homeless. 18 days have passed since a whole nation was torn by grief. However, no amount of time that passes will erase the effects of this catastrophe from these people's lives. Families ripped apart, children orphaned, sisters with no fathers, brothers or husbands to give them shelter… our people need us.

Please step up to help them. Your aid might not reconstruct the several cities destroyed, but if it even gives one child shelter from the cold through the winter through these coming months, it will be worthwhile.

Today, as Allah tests those earthquake victims in this hardship, He also tests us, the luckier lot, who are sitting comfortably in the warmth of our homes, the only connection with the earthquake being through TV images.
As sure as the Day of Judgment is, we will all stand before Him as He will ask us, “what did you do when I was hungry in the form of that child, when I was cold in the form of that woman, when I was suffering in the form of that man? Why didn't you come ahead to help Me with all that I have blessed you with?”


Please… please make a difference while you still can.
