Gaza is in crisis. After months of devastation, families are struggling to rebuild their lives with little to no resources. Homes have been reduced to rubble, schools have been destroyed, and access to clean water and medical care is severely limited. The need is greater than ever.

Through the Human Development Fund, we’ve been on the ground providing essential aid—food, water, medical kits, and shelter. But now, the road to recovery begins. Rebuilding homes. Restoring livelihoods. Giving families hope.

Your support today can provide:

✔ Emergency relief for displaced families
✔ Rebuilding efforts to restore homes and schools
✔ Long-term aid to help communities recover

Every dollar counts in bringing Gaza back to life. Stand with us in this critical moment.

We begin in the Name of Allah ﷻ, the Most Merciful and Compassionate,
We ask that He ﷻ sends Peace and Blessings upon our noble and beloved
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

فَلَا يَحْزُنْكَ قَوْلُهُمْ
Don't let their words grieve you. (Quran 36:76)


What does this refer to? Allah ﷻ says don't let their words get to you. So when they say names like majnoon (crazy) or sha'ir (poet) and they take a stab at his credibility it does bother him ﷺ. So Allah ﷻ is saying do not let them affect you.


إِنَّا نَعْلُ وَمَا يُصِغُرُونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ
Surely we know what they conceal and we know what they expose. (Quran 36:76)


Where Allah ﷻ says they recognize you to be the true Prophet ﷺ more clearly than they recognize their own children but they cannot come to accept it but they know who you are; they know you're the Prophet.

May Allah ﷻ grant us tawfiq to overcoming Hurt with Patience and Trust in Allah ﷻ.

أقول قولي هذا وأستغفر الله لي ولكم، فاستغفروه إنه هو الغفور الرحيم
