"Witnessing the conditions that our muslim brothers, sisters and children of Syria are facing on a day to day basis just for Survival brings tears to ones eyes, and this is just the condition of the refugees who fled to Turkey. The question that lingers in ones mind is what and how much worse off is the conditon of the innocent civilians that are left inside Syria?" , expressed one of the team members
AThe group visited 3 Turkish cities on the Syrian boarder (namely: Kilis, Reyhanli and Antakya) and also Istanbul where they visited rehabilitation centres, hospitals, orphanages, centres for widows and did house visits..
As the Syrain crises intensifies the demand and need of the Syrian refugees inside of Syria and of those who flee to Turkey and other European countries increase on a daily basis requiring safety and shelter as a priority whilst food and water become an unknown source..
Upon their return the group in conjunction with Al Imdaad have decided to start more projects such as feeding schemes, empowerment projects and building or masjids and madrasahs, above current operations such as adoptions of orphans , widows and families aswell as medical supplies nd feeding schemes in Syria
Nabi Muhammed – peace be upon him – said: “You will be split up into groups of armies. An army will be in Shaam, an army in Yemen and an army in Iraq.” Ibn Hawlah – may Allah be pleased with him – said: “Choose for me O messenger of Allah if I’m around to witness that. So he said: “You must join Shaam, for it is the chosen land of Allah in His earth. In it the chosen ones among His servants shall have protection. Otherwise, go to Yemen but be prepared to drink from still water. For Allah has given me a guarantee concerning Shaam and its people.” [Narrated by Imam Ahmad and Abu Dawood].
