Assisting the Afflicted in Africa and the Afghan Mujahideen
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If one contributes his share, it comes from the soundness of the majority. If he knows of any of his Muslim brothers, the believers are indeed brothers. Yes. Your Eminence the Shaykh, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. To proceed: We have heard in the news that the number of people in Sudan in need of assistance and support has reached four million, and that one million are on the verge of perishing, and that international organizations are calling for help to save them. Your Eminence knows what the Western organizations are doing, which are trying hard to exploit poverty and hunger to spread Christianity among Muslims and distance them from their religion. We ask Your Eminence to make further efforts with the people of good and benevolence and Islamic organizations to double the aid and assistance. I ask Allah to protect our brothers in Africa, to relieve their distress, and to keep them firm upon Islam. I am attaching this amount of five hundred riyals, which one of the brothers sent for the afflicted in the drought in Africa.
The Shaykh:
No, no.
The questioner:
This is another amount of two thousand and two hundred riyals, and one hundred riyals for the Afghan mujahideen from one of the people of good.
The Shaykh:
Everyone, efforts are being made regarding the relief of the afflicted in Africa, and praise be to Allah, the assistance is still flowing to them, by air through the authorities, and the aid continues to come from Muslims to the afflicted and to the Afghans. We ask Allah to have mercy on all of them, to support our mujahideen brothers, to help them, to unite their word upon the truth, and to defeat their enemy, the enemy of the Muslims. We ask Him to have mercy on our brothers in Africa and elsewhere, to grant them uprightness, to send down rain upon them, to bestow upon them uprightness in His religion, and safety from misleading trials, to reform their rulers, and to guide them all.
The presenter:
Oh, Lord.
The Shaykh:
There is no power or might except by Allah. Yes.
