RALEIGH, North Carolina - The Muslim American Society (MAS) has launched a nationwide campaign to encourage Muslims to donate food and money to help feed fellow hungry Americans, regardless of their faith. "It’s our way of showing the community that we care about everyone and that Allah loves everyone, Muslims and non-Muslims," Allyson Swelam, the head of the outreach committee in MAS Raleigh chapter, told IslamOnline.net.

Muslims are encouraged to donate canned food, nonperishable items as well as money to provide fresh meat.

Donation boxes were made available at local mosques and Islamic schools.

"All donations are going directly to low income people who live under the poverty line," said Allyson.

She asserted that the response of the Muslim community was good, especially that this is the first time to conduct such a campaign.

"I think this is a good start and we already met our target as far as the cost of the meat that we pre-ordered."

I don't think they need to worry about food poisoning - they didn't sample any of my cooking. :p

Cool! They should open a soup kitchen and call it the Kuffar Cafe.

Someone could do Quranic recitations during lentils and cornbread.

No, only Christians do that. :skeleton:

This is great, but one thing puzzles me.
When I help, I never have asked what religion the people being helped was.
In fact when I pray that someone receives help, I don’t check there religion first either.
Maybe it is because I simply see them as people.
But that just me.

;D A good one. But seriously, i want to say a story from my country. A twon girls were born few years ago in Poland. And they were unfortunetely born stuck together. The family was poor and they didnt have money for operation, so the king of Saudi Arabia payd for that and they had this operation in SA. The operation succeded and the girls were seperated.

Makes them sound like the Salvation Army.

i believe that it is vital that muslims try to end their isolation and raise their public profile in the community at large.
good step. :thumbs_up
 
Baruch HaShem!!
(Praise G-d!)

The Christians in Egypt are generally more rich then the muslims, and have been well known to give a lot to charity. Yet many muslims have not been giving to non muslim charities. It is great to see that is changing, and that muslims are beginning to help the non muslims too!
