SHELTER FOR BATTERED MUSLIM WOMEN FACING CRISIS:
You can Help!
[After helping 400 women and counselling 6,000
people, Baitul Salaam is
facing Financial End Time.]
The Baitul Salaam Residence for Battered Women
may have to shut its doors
this summer due to lack of funding. The Stipend
Volunteer Staff who started as
volunteers four years ago have worked without pay
for two months. The
cofounder Hadayai Majeed and her husband have
paid all they can out of their pockets
and fund raising efforts at the local baseball
stadium due to the slow economy
is not netting what it did a few years ago. The
Baitul Salaam Network, Inc.
needs your help today. A collective effort will
not burdened anyone it would
mean pennies per person. The amount of $3,000
per month is needed to keep the
doors of the shelter open. The organization is
asking that masaajid,
businesses and organizations around the country
take up a donation and send it
immediately.
It will be a shame for the doors of the shelter
to close and this
organization to have to drastically reduce or
stop its services to the community after
working diligently for almost seven years to
serve the entire Islamic community
of North
America.
It will be a shame that after
approximately 400 women and
children have been served by this group through
the shelter program that the
doors close. This organization has served
approximately 6,000 men, women and
children through counseling (in person, email and
telephone), referrals for
legal, medical (including psychiatric),
job/career, provided escorts to court
hearings, clothes and food.
This organization has answered the calls from
many of you without hesitation
especially in metro Atlanta. No regard to school
of thought, ethnicity, race
or geographic location. We need our brothers and
sisters in faith to help us
today. We ask that you pass the collection
containers for us at your local
masaajid, at your club meetings, organization
meetings and your businesses. A
collective effort will mean no one person,
masaajid, business or organization
will be burdened. Please give! Muslim women and
children in need should not be
forced to go to Jews, Christians or others for
assistance. We should be able
to help our own. Break the cycle of neglect,
abuse and lack or cooperative
sharing in work for Allah. Give Today!
Send all donations to:
Baitul Salaam Network, Inc.

Atlanta, GA 30310
You can call us at (800) 285-9489 pin #00 our

May Allah continue to guide, protect and bless
all of the Believers.

LETTER
SIRAJ WAHHAJ has a RECORD OF COOPERATION WITH THE
PEOPLE IN POWER
[Among other thngs, he has been Central Committee
Member of
ISNA
for Many
Years]
Subj: RE: Defense of Siraj Wahhaj's Disney
Adventure
As Salamu `Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,
The sister's intentions may have been good - but
was not Siraj Wahhaj one of
those Muslim leaders breaking bread with
bush jr
during
Ramadhan
and making
the bush jr-oriented statement after the world
trade center and pentagon
destruction? So, what was her point?
The Dawah conference did not have to
take place in a many-starred, expensive hotel
conference room with mention
of it's proximity to DisneyWorld. The most
appropriate place would have been
in a Masjid or two, if necessary. Maybe the
sister did not appreciate the
criticism of her imam, Allah Knows Best. And
maybe, Insha`Allah, he (Siraj
Wahhaj) will say the one thing that will make her
realize that he fears
others (according to his actions and words, as I
do not know what is in his
heart) more than he fears Allah. Allah Knows, I
do not.
Fi Sabilillah,
Hamdiyah [South Carolina]
