Prophet Muhammad (saw) encouraged his Ummah to look after our widowed sisters who remain emotionally and financially vulnerable following the death of their husband:
Widows ‘The person who assists and takes care of the widow… is like the person who is striving in the path of Allah.
For widows who relied upon the income of their husbands, life can be incredibly hard. In developing countries, many people have the skills and enthusiasm to generate an income for themselves, yet lack the opportunity to put this into practice. Without the right training, networks or capital for equipment and tools, it can be incredibly difficult to find a job or set up a new business to earn a living and maintain a sustainable livelihood.
‘None of you have faith until you love for your neighbor what you love for yourself.
So, brothers and sisters, donate today and follow in the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad (saw).
