| [slm], I got this in an e-mail: Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wabarakatahu, Ramadan is coming soon! Amnesty International has an Interfaith Action Page at http://www.amnestyusa.org/interfaith/pdf/ramadanaction2005.pdf http://www.amnestyusa.org/interfaith/holiday.html As part of your observance of Ramadan, consider writing cards or letters of hope and support to the detained, tortures and imprisoned innocent people. You may incorporate this activity at any point throughout the month of Ramadan. Consider setting aside a bit of time on Thursday evening, between salat al-maghrib and salat al-isha,? to write your cards and letters, or do it after iftar. If you wish to include children, Sunday programs might afford time for discussion and letter writing. Children could make ?Id al-fitr cards to send to the people whose cases appear in this resource. Please consider some of the suggested activities below for further discussion, reflection, and action on human rights during the month of Ramadan and beyond. Posters, postcards, children-friendly resources, and follow-up actions are available online, at www.amnestyusa.org/interfaith. Please tell this to all your Muslim brothers and sisters! Such a small act of kindness can go a long way. The Qur'an says"...and whosoever saveth the life of one, it is as if he saveth all mankind"(5:32) May Allah Reward you for your efforts Jazak Allahu Khairun |
