Dawah West Africa

There is much ignorance of Islam yet a thirst for the truth in West Africa. We have gathered some very good articles and reprinted them especially for this appeal. Caravan of Mercy UK has created a Dawah pack, consisting of booklets, folded leaflets and an English translation of the Quran. These packs will be distributed by the Islamic Information Centre (Ghana) an arm of Caravan of Mercy Ghana.
Each pack will cost approximately £5 and we are appealing to the public to donate Lillah to this cause.

It is reported that the Prophet Peace Be Upon Him Said:
“By Allah, if Allah were to guide one man through you it would be better for you than the best type of camels.”
(Bukhari, Muslim)

The Caravan in Syria

Our volunteers are now in Syria (as of 7th January 2014) preparing to carry out the the food parcel and winter blanket distribution.
….‘with people surviving on a meal a day, if they’re lucky. Some of the places we went to had meat for the first time in over three months. Now let’s try reflecting this onto ourselves. We complain even when we have three meals every day. It’s our duty to help our Muslim brothers and sisters as soon as possible.”

….“The worst feeling is when, after so much distribution, the food would run out, yet people would still be queuing up waiting, almost begging for a bit of food so that they can feed their families.”
“After going on my first ever trip in 2006, my eyes opened up to on how lucky we really are.
Straight after my first trip, I made a firm intention to do as much as I can to help people all around the world Insha’Allah (God willing).”

Weddings

Thanks to your donations we are able to find poor girls who are looking for a husband. Their family find them a similar man and we give them clothing for the Nikah (wedding) as well as essentials to help start a home such as pots and pans, bedding, a bucket, suitcase, footwear etc.

The young couple are also given tools to help them earn a living. The young men are given either a cycle rickshaw to be used as a taxi or cycle rickshaw designed to carry goods. Or they could be given a boat to start them earning a livelihood. The girls may be given a sewing machine with training on the basics of tailoring. Without the training, they may give up and sell the sewing machine.
