ROHINGYA REFUGEES FACE NEW PERILS AS WINTER APPROACHES

 


Imagine for just a few minutes that you lost access to be able to warm up your home during this brutal winter? How would you and your children react to this test from Allah (SWT) ? What a basic blessing we take for granted. Unfortunately, not everyone has the luxury of being able to just flip a switch and have heat warm up their home in minutes. 

The Rohingya people left everything behind and came to Bangladesh with nothing except the clothes on their backs. It is common to see barefooted children wearing only thin cotton clothing, shorts and t-shirts. 

Most sleep on the floor in poorly constructed bamboo structures with nothing but flimsy plastic sheeting and very thin blankets to protect them from the cold at night.

January and February are Bangladesh’s coldest months. Without proper shelter, warm clothes or fuel for heating, there is no way for helpless refugee families to keep themselves warm. Rohingya children in the camps and makeshift shelters in Bangladesh urgently need clothes and blankets to keep themselves and their families warm this winter.


Blanket Distribution December 20, 2018


BASMAH has been working in Rohingya camps for over one year, and during this time we have successfully ran several projects helping Rohingya refugees.

 

BASMAH USA in collaboration with Basmah Foundation has teams deployed on the ground in Bangladesh working tirelessly to provide lifesaving aid to helpless Bangladeshi and Rohingya families. Unfortunately this horrific epidemic is only going to get worse as temperatures drop and winter rainfall causes flooding. We need your help to save as many precious lives as possible this winter. Remember what Allah has mentioned in the Quran:


IF ANYONE SAVED A LIFE IT WOULD BE AS IF HE SAVED THE LIFE OF THE WHOLE HUMANITY.” QURAN 5:32


    With your help and donations, Basmah will distribute blankets, clothes, and any other necessities to make sure our brothers and sisters in distress stay warm this winter. May Allah Azzawajal Accept from you and increase your wealth. 


                                UPDATE:

    Alhamdulillah! We received approval from Bangladesh government for this noble project.

    THE OPPORTUNITY TO MULTIPLY THE AMAL & SEDAQAH IN THE FINAL NIGHTS OF RAMADAN


    AsSalamu'alaikum wbt,

    May this update reaches you in good health and Imaan.

    Dear Brothers & Sisters,

    We would like to seek your 1 minute to read this email till the end.

    Thank you for supporting us at BASMAH USA in our previous and current projects. 
    On this 5 final days of the blessed Ramadan, grab this opportunity to multiply your amal & sadaqah. An act of worship in this holy month is multiply by 10 times.

    The Prophet (pbuh) is narrated to have said:

    “Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah will receive a hasanah (good deed) from it (i.e. his recitation), and the hasanah is multiplied by ten. I do not say that Alif-Laam-Meem is (considered as) a letter, rather Alif is a letter, Laam is a letter, and Meem is a letter.” [At-Tirmidhi, Ad-Darimi]

    What if the act of amal & sadaqah in done during the Layla al Qadr? The night of 1,000 months? 
    MashaAllah. We can't imagine how big is the multiply effect? and more over the Prophet (pbuh) is described to have been extra generous during the Blessed Month. During this Ramadan we already achieved few of our campaign goals. Thank you for your endless support.

    However, we are seeking your support to donate us as little as $2.00.

    Yes only $2.00!!!
