Support victims of wildfire in Tennessee.


Help Gatlinburg and TN wildfire victims

During these holidays time our friends and families in east TN lost everything they have. As many as 14,000 people had to evacuate their homes, "This is a fire for the history books," Gatlinburg Fire Chief Greg Miller said. "The likes of this has never been seen here." Muslims in Memphis and partner organizations are calling on you and the greater community to support the victims of wildfire. Help us support fire victims and contribute to our campaign


A man's true wealth is the good he does in this world

FAMILY RAN FROM THE FLAMES

“I thought we were going to die. If that angel of a man hadn’t appeared…..if he hadn’t helped us, we would be dead.” April Calhoun, mother of 4, recounts the harrowing story of how she, her husband and their 4 children fled the fires and their miraculous rescue by a mysterious stranger" (source American Red cross)


Evacuations

Tennessee, forcing evacuations from the popular tourist destination and nearby communities. "If you're a person of prayer, we could use your prayers," Gatlinburg Fire Chief Greg Miller said Monday evening as crews battled wind gusts of up to 70 mph. Muslims In Memphis initiating fundraising campaign to help and support communities effected by wildfire. 

Donations

We know when disasters strike there are no quick fixes,” said Ellen Lehman, president of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. “We need to support the affected communities and the nonprofits on the ground helping victims and addressing their needs.” Donation collected will be delivered to nonprofits providing assistance both immediately and long term


How You Can Help

Give (Charity) Sadaqah, give as much charity as you can because it helps push away hardship. Whosoever removes a worldly grief from a believer, Allah (God) will remove from him one of the griefs of the Day of Judgment. Whosoever alleviates [the lot of] a needy person, Allah will alleviate [his lot] in this world and the next.
