The Status of the Elderly in IslamĀ emphasizes respect for all elders in society, children have a special responsibility towards their parents.
I am here bringing you this special cause where we are trying to raise Funding for an #IMAAM and an #Elderly Individual who needs your much needed support. We were approached by Family Friends of the IMAAM Family who informed us of the horrible situation the family has been going through.
The Hazoor is an Elderly man whose a substitute for a Local Mosque leading Fajar Salah and Salah on days the Full Time Imaam is off. His family has been in the Shelters, can you just imagine our Scholar family going through that. Imagine having no privacy, no place of decency.Ā Now Imagine he walks on a daily basis 9 to 12 miles a day to lead Fajar Salah because he has no financial means to pay for his transportation.
āHe is not one of us who does not show tenderness to the young and who does not show respect to the elder.ā [Hadith from at-Tirmidhi]
Our Second ElderlyĀ who we need your support; is coming from Nursing home whose family abandoned him and need your assistance. We will provide him with rental of 1 room near mosque and groceries on a weekly basis.Ā
In the cycle of life, the youth and old age are only a matter of time, for one who is young, must surely grow old one day. Islam reminds the young of this basic truth of the human condition, through a narration of the Prophet in which he stated āIf a young man honors an elderly on account of his age, God appoints someone to honor him in his old age.ā [Hadith from At-Tirmidhi]
Let’s Provide Dignity ā A Basic Human Right
The elderly are increasingly getting short shrift. According to HelpAge India, most elders are ill-treated by their own children, who have emerged as the the largest group of perpetrators at 47.3 per cent of all cases of abuse !!!
We would like to Collect $25,000 Dollars which will pay for 24 Months of Rental/Groceries/Transportation/UtilitiesĀ cost for both the Imaam and The Elderly Individual.
” The Donations on this project were collected on Launchgood platform, however Act of Goodwill was part of the Campaign that helped raised funds for this cause.
We are now raising funds on Act of Goodwill because of NO Platform fee; saving thousands of dollars !!! “
