Peserta Ms Singapore Indonesian 2016 Kumpul Dana Bagi Mangsa Banjir Di Garut

Pada tanggal 25 September keluarga besar Ms Singapore Indonesian (MSSI) berjaya mengumpul dana bantuan untuk mangsa-mangsa banjir di Garut. Segala usaha dan penat lelah mereka berjalan berjualan makanan, baju, aksesoris, merias dan mengumpul baju-baju dan barangan untuk di dermakan ke GARUT.

Rasa terharu dan bangga sekali kerana anak-didik Ibu Dyah Novita Sari selaku founder for MSSI telah melakukan suatu usaha yang murni yang tiada nilai nya dan hanya Allah swt yang akan memberi kebaikan kepada kalian semua.

Walaupun penat tapi tetap riang gembira dan terpancar rasa kepuasan dan bahagia yang mendalam dari lubuk sanubari dan amat sukar dilafazkan hanya masing-masing yang dapat merasakan nya.

Moga istiqomah dan menjadikan satu semangat dan ikutan untuk yang lain-lain.

BAPA Lancar Kempen Mengumpul Dana Bagi Membantu Pelarian Syria

DERMA ikhlas masyarakat Singapura sangat diharapkan bagi membantu rakyat Syria yang berlindung di kem pelarian dekat sempadan Turkey.

Mereka yang tinggal dalam khemah di kawasan pergunungan sedang menghadapi musim salji yang sangat sejuk dengan suhu -10 darjah Celsius.

Justeru, Badan Agama Dan Pelajaran Radin Mas (Bapa) melancarkan kempen mengumpul dana kecemasan baru-baru ini bagi membantu pelarian itu.

Kempen tersebut akan diteruskan sehingga hujung bulan ini, kata Ketua Khidmat Kemanusiaan Bapa, Ustaz Muhammad Zahid Mohd Zin.

Pihaknya tidak meletakkan jumlah sasaran untuk dikumpul, namun berharap masyarakat Singapura dapat menghulurkan derma seikhlas hati bagi mengurangkan penderitaan mangsa perang saudara di negara Timur Tengah itu.

Menurut Ustaz Zahid, jumlah yang dikumpul akan diserahkan kepada rakan kerja mereka di Syria, Muslim Aid Australia, untuk membeli barang keperluan musim sejuk seperti selimut, alat pemanas dan pakaian panas.

“Bantuan itu akan dihulurkan kepada sekitar 20,000 pelarian yang tinggal dalam keadaan penuh kedaifan, dalam khemah yang dibuat daripada kanvas tipis. Tiada alat pemanas dalam khemah itu. Bayi perlu sentiasa didukung agar mereka tidak terdedah kepada udara sejuk.

“Setiap malam, ahli keluarga tidur dalam keadaan berpelukan bagi mengurangkan rasa dingin,” kata Ustaz Zahid, yang kali terakhir pergi ke Syria April lalu.

Beliau menambah bahawa kadar kematian bayi dan warga emas di kem pelarian semasa musim sejuk meningkat setiap tahun sejak empat tahun lalu. Mangsa meninggal dunia akibat radang paru-paru.

Ustaz Zahid menerangkan bahawa ini kali pertama Bapa membuat rayuan kecemasan sejak mula mengumpul dana bagi keperluan musim sejuk dua tahun lalu.

“Kami diberitahu musim salji kali ini terlalu sejuk, berbeza daripada tahun-tahun sudah.

“Cuaca di Syria mula dingin sejak September dan musim sejuk hanya akan berakhir sekitar Mac. Cuaca paling buruk dijangka berlaku bulan ini dan bulan depan.

“Disebabkan itu, kami hanya mengadakan kempen mengumpul dana bagi keperluan musim sejuk sehingga hujung bulan ini,” jelas Ustaz Zahid.

Beliau berkata bekalan musim sejuk yang telah disediakan badan-badan kemanusiaan, seperti kayu api, semakin susut sedangkan pada mulanya ia dijangka dapat bertahan sehingga Februari.

United Nations Suspends Distribution Of World Food Program Vouchers In Embattled Middle East Countries Due To Lack Of Funds

A lack of funds has forced the United Nations to stop providing food vouchers for 1.7 million Syrian refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt, the World Food Programme (WFP) said on Monday.

“Without WFP vouchers, many families will go hungry. For refugees already struggling to survive the harsh winter, the consequences of halting this assistance will be devastating,” said the U.N. agency, which needs $64 million to support the refugees for the rest of December.

Suspension of the assistance program comes as many vulnerable Syrian families enter their fourth bleak winter in difficult living conditions after fleeing a homeland racked by conflict since March 2011.

“This couldn’t come at a worse time,” said U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres in a statement.

The impact could be particularly devastating in Lebanon, where more than 1.1 million Syrian refugees — one-quarter of the country’s permanent population — are scattered across some 1,700 communities, according to the U.N. refugee agency. Many live in makeshift settlements, sheds, garages and unfinished buildings.

The electronic voucher program has already injected about $800 million into local shops in the countries hosting refugees, and WFP will immediately resume it if new funding arrives, it said in the statement.

It was not clear how hungry Syrian refugees might fill the gap left by WFP suspending its voucher program.

WFP had warned last month that it might be forced to impose such a suspension and said it might have to announce a similar measure in January for people reliant on aid within Syria, where at least 7.6 million people are internally displaced.

The Rome-based agency has already cut rations for 4.25 million people it is providing food supplies to in Syria.

“WFP will not be able to continue its life-saving operations inside Syria in February without additional funding,” WFP spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs told Reuters on Monday.

The U.N. refugee agency has said that a lack of cash has forced it to prioritize as it helps those in need prepare for winter, with preference for people at higher, colder altitudes and vulnerable refugees such as newborn babies. REUTERS

Wearwhite Official Statement: Ways Muslims Can Show Support to Palestinians

Let us show compassion and extend our help to our Muslim brothers and sisters who are being brutally oppressed and mistreated – in Gaza specifically and also elsewhere like in Myanmar, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Kashmir, Iraq, Syria, indeed fee kulli makaan (wherever they may be). We can do this in the following ways:

1) If possible, on a daily basis perform the Taubah and Hajat prayers. Do so wholeheartedly. Let the tears of remorse and repent flow and wet your cheeks.

2) Find out the reality of what is happening in the affected countries. Do not merely depend on Mainstream Media. Make an effort to get information from other more reliable sources of information – especially from genuine Islamic resources.

Find out the historical and political background of the places in conflict. Spread the word through FB postings, etc. Talk to your friends and family members.

3) Boycott products of any company that support tyranny openly and directly in whatever capacity possible.

4) Recite the Qunut Nazilah regularly. It can be done in all fardh prayers – alone or in congregation. As it constitutes part of one’s salat, it must be done in Arabic. Find out how. It can also be done outside of solat.

5) Recite the zikr with all your heart and mind; Ya Muntaqim (Oh Ye Avenging One), Ya Qahhar (Oh Ye Imposing One) & Ya Jabbar (Oh Ye Powerful One).

6) Support and provide financial assistance/donations to aid organisations that practice transparency.

7) Liberate our hearts and minds, and any other form of attachment (financial or otherwise) to whatever parties directly or indirectly associated with the aggressors.

9) Let us close rank and build alliance between Muslim groups. Support any group that opposes the oppression by lawful means in Islam. Do not limit or narrow down the struggle. Any and all parties that show even tacit approval to the oppression, hold them accountable!

10) Avoid debates and arguments in issues of genuine khilaf (difference of opinions among ulama mu’tabar). Advise those who are engaged in the never-ending and unproductive debates to refrain from doing so. We need to come united and channel our energy in combating against bigger threats.
