Assalamualaikum warahmatullah, Alhamdulillah for giving us the strength, live and health to witness this day. We send oursalutations to the noblest of creatures, the best among people, and the leader of the ummah, a Prophet (s.a.w), a teacher, and upon all the best leader, Muhammad (S.A.W), including his family, noble companions and all who have followed their path till the Day of Judgement.
Welcome to Friends Charity Group (FCG), a newly established group with a vision to promote the image of our deen, Islam. FCG seeks for your support, encouragement, knowledge andhard work to achieve its purpose.
There are several charity groups out there that help impact on lives of people, some of which started as national and are now international. We want to start a group with the favors Allah has bestowed upon each and every one of us. Most of the charity groups start for the purpose of worldly needs (i.e. to be recognized, to be applauded for etc.). We know of the hadith,“every action is based on the intention it started for”. We don’t want to create only a charity group, we want to promote Islam as a way of life, we want Allah to shower mercy on us, and we want this group to serve as a salvation on the day of judgement, an atonement for our wrong doings, and a path that Allah will in His infinite mercy grant us Paradise.
We pray our five daily prayers, act well to our neighbors, and treat our parents with kindness and respect. We thank Allah forguiding us towards this course, and we pray He gives us the ability to do more and earn His mercy. No amount of prayer, fasting, zakat, hajj or any righteous deed will grant paradise to a person, except when the act of Ibadah is coupled with Allah’s acceptance and mercy. The Prophet (s.a.w) said take advantage of five before five;
Many of us are familiar with this hadith, of which had awakened a reality within me. One of the beauties of Islam, is that we are given a secure way of life, and the best understanding which gives us the highest strength and motive. It is known, that the one who spends his youth in servitude to Allah, will be rewarded highly, and also be amongst the 7 to be in Allah’s shade on the day where there will be no shade. It is usually within our youth, we have less responsibility, we are at the peak of our health, and we have ample amount of time. The great benefit in this is, if we use our time and efforts in Allah’s way, Allah places baraqah in it.
