Location: Lucknow, U.P."Whoever would like Allah to shade him with His shade, let him give respite to one in difficulty, or waive repayment of the loan." (SUNAN IBN MAJAH Vol #3, Hadith #2419) The meager income of
6000 INR per month is not enough to recover from the crisis of crashed house in rain for a 58-year-old father, who
has weak health (arthritis, cervical, diabetes, heart condition). He has 3 daughters and 1 son, including a SPECIAL child, who needs continuous medical attention.
One daughter is married off, another daughter is studying, and a son is a fitness trainer trying for earning. Their youngest daughter is Mentally Retarded and has 90% mental disability. The wife is patient (arthritis and heart) too, on regular medication. The family is unable to ask for any more help from near and dear ones, and there seems no way to repay. The overall burden is too much to carry.
The crashed house has brought the family to the roads and increased the regular struggle to more intense.
This struggling family deserves some peace and strength to carry on. Your small contribution will take this family to at least a proper life with a roof. He has consulted
Ulema that bank interest is acceptable in his situation.
Its anappeal to all the respected donors of IndiaZakat to kindly come forward and help the poor family re-construct their house.
May Allah bless you and reward you for your deeds. May Allah give you a magnificent house in Jannatul Firdous.
