Can any brothers or sisters advise as to what is the best and most effective way to help?
Salaam sis. I'd like to leave a comment on how NOT to help. At my previous masjid they are doing a clothing drive. Seriously. Take the clothes, sell them yard sale style, and send the money. Or keep the clothes and take the $ required to ship them and send it to a bona-fide relief agency.
ReplyDeleteI know people have good intentions but what in the world do you want with a pair of jeans when your baby is hungry and you have no pot to cook the rice you don't have in??
May Allah help them and may Allah swt remind us all of our obligation to our ummah. Ameen.
Look at this crisis camp wiki, who are looking at ways to help using IT:

Al-Khidmat Foundation, Pakistan is there on the ground, and one of the most reliable and organized non-government relief agency. http://al-khidmatfoundation.org/
ReplyDeleteSalaam, Thank you for sharing these pictures. They serve as a visual reminder to me that I have nothing to complain about. Even though my family has recently suffered a tragedy and my grief is so deep, our blessings are abundant. Our zakat this blessed month of Ramada will be going to Pakistan.
