Event #2 – Building Blocks Emergency Assistance
While we’re enjoying the Iftar with our friends and family members, please don’t forget those who are in their difficult times. While we go shopping for Ramadan Eid celebration, remember some fathers could not afford to allow their loved ones to have the luxury to buy new clothing and toys for Eid. Worse yet, the widows lost their husbands and have to struggle to make ends meet to feed the entire family.
A project– A better Ramadan 1432 for All is currently undergoing at halfdate.com. My friend is asking me to spread the words.

Alhamdulilah, if we could afford to “give”, please do so while we still can for giving is much more rewarding than receiving.
Please contribute your share to the project of Building Blocks Emergency Assistance. Be part of the community to alleviate the hardship of the families and save them from eviction, utilities shut-off, and overwhelmed medical expenses.

Comments on: "Two Events Before the Last Ten Days of Ramadan" (1)
http://www.iipctv.com/lectures/urdu/emaan-ki-simt/94-saum-fasting
This is an extremely important lecture for Muslims who want to govern their lives in accordance with the Quran. Most Muslims know only one type of fasting which is observed during the month of Ramadan, while this lecture will point out various other types of fasting mentioned in the Quran (in addition to what we observe in Ramadan) and also the various reasons behind the different types of fasts, which ultimately increases our consciousness for Allah. This is a must watch as these other types of fast are also ordained by Allah which we are not told about as we are growing up, hence we are leaving a major practice that we as Muslims are suppose to do.
