Sawaat Victims. They need your help.

The beautiful Sawaat Valley, right now facing a very difficult time. Who is right or wrong is not the question at this point of time, but the real need of time is to support those who have sufferred. The believers are like a single soul and body, if someone faces a problem then everyone is affected.

Some authentic hadiths are as follows from Sahih Bukhari.

Volumn 009, Book 093, Hadith Number 525B.
------------------------------------------
Narated By Abu Huraira : Allah's Apostle said, "If somebody gives in charity something equal to a date from his honestly earned money... for nothing ascends to Allah except good... then Allah will take it in His Right (Hand) and bring it up for its owner as anyone of you brings up a baby horse, till it becomes like a mountain." Abu Huraira said: The Prophet. said, "Nothing ascends to Allah except good."

Volumn 009, Book 093, Hadith Number 587.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By Abu Huraira : Allah's Apostle said, "We (Muslims) are the last (to come) but will be the foremost on the Day of Resurrection." The narrators of this Hadith said: Allah said (to man), 'Spend (in charity), for then I will compensate you (generously).'"


Volumn 009, Book 093, Hadith Number 603.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By 'Adi bin Hatim : Allah's Apostle said, "There will be none among you but his Lord will talk to him, and there will be no interpreter between him and Allah. He will look to his right and see nothing but his deeds which he has sent forward, and will look to his left and see nothing but his deeds which he has sent forward, and will look in front of him and see nothing but the (Hell) Fire facing him. So save yourself from the (Hell) Fire even with half a date (given in charity)." Al-A'mash said: 'Amr bin Murra said, Khaithama narrated the same and added, '...even with a good word.'"

Second Email

I wanted to take some time from you all. Once I message many people on MSN about donations for Sawat People. In that context by brother's friend "Abdus Salam" went to Mardan for himself to help out people. Following is his email after coming back, also I have uploaded the some of his pictures during there at

He has asked me if anyone willing to help them they can donate. Inthis regard contact me on 0333-3010892. Do read the email below in his words.


--------Email From Abdus Salam-------

My trip to Mardan had witnessed thousands of human catastrophe stories.Mardan is a city of 1.6 million population and is at 1 hour drive to Malakund Agency.As of today, Mardan's population has reached to 3.0 million.When a city's population gets doubled than you can imagine the situation.
Out of these 1.4million refugees, only 30% are living in IDP Camps .Theses camps are getting coverage from media, getting aids in trucks and under the so called Govt help. But all of theses media,govt and N.G.O ignored the villages around Mardan city where 9 lac IDP are living in schools,open grounds,masjid,relatives and with unknown people.Our main focus in this 5 day trip was to help IDP living in villages.
When I was leaving for Mardan on 15th May , I had only Rs 20,000 donations in my hand but in these 5 days, this amount reached to Rs 460,000 donations only on my 2 SMS . We went around villages,schools,madrassas and went till Chiragah,the border village to Bunir .Alhamdolillah, Allah gave us courage and resources to help people in curfew areas too.
I have gone across hundreds of heart breaking stories ......
I met with a family from SAWAT whose father is in jail, mother got expired on the way .This family is now of 3 sisters along with one abnormal one .They are living in a hujra with unknown people.Salute to the courage of that living dead girls .
I met with a person from Sawat who had a Rs 40 Lac shop in sawat and today he is living in a camp in labor colony in 6 X 6 room.His child was asked by camp incharges to have KUSHKOOL in his hand so that donors may give khayrat to innocent kid.While telling this, that 8 ft long SAWAT man was crying like a 3 year old boy.
After moving across those villages, i realized that we and our kids are living in Jannat.I wish Allah gave us all the saaadat to help those people who are in need. .
When those IDP'S gave us dua with hand raised in air and faces towards sky and saying " We will stand between you and Allah on the judgement day" than nothing can match the satisfaction in heart.
Believe me that every single rupee count there. Wish we could do something more for those 9 lac IDP in villages
Thanks to all
p.s.It would be great on your part if you can motivate others to help those IDP.Your one motivated message can give a dinner and lunch to may be hundreds of IDP. I have very strong and reliable contact their who can deliver your ammanats to the right people.Do let me know if you need those contacts
Salam.
