It is an undisputed fact that the responsibility for the protection and preservation of the noble Deen of Islam was handed over to an extraordinary and elite group of “stars” known as the Sahaba Kiraam (Radiyallahu ‘Anhum Ajmaieen). They were the closest to Nabi (Salallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam) and learnt and understood the Deen directly from Nabi (Salallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam). It is indeed through their trials, tribulations, sacrifices and relentless actions that generation after generation will continue to enjoy and relish the sublime beauties of the chosen Deen-ul-Islam.

With the grace of Allah (swt) I hope that this letter finds you in good health. Insha Allah.
I hereby humble myself to you by means of this letter, and wish to thank you so much to have awarded me and my family the finance to finish building of our family house. Your organisation’s tremendous generous assistance meant so much to me and my family. Were it not for this assistance, we would have not been able to afford finishing the house because of our financial dilemmas. Moreover, we are now residing at the above mentioned address.

Nabi replied: “O Saad! Be cautious in consuming only halaal and wholesome and Allah Ta’ala will make you a Mustajãbud Dawaat.”
