With each passing day more and more of our brothers and sisters are being mercilessly slaughtered over seas, with the current count at more than 750 dead and 3000 injured and International aid organizations have claimed the current humanitarian conditions in Gaza to be the worst in three decades (CNN). The fact that our hearts don’t pain and tears don’t flow at the mention of the rising death toll is a testament to the weakness in our Iman and hardening of our hearts. The people of Gaza have been systematically starved and deprived of basic resources before the attack and now face shortages in everything from food to medicine with the situation deteriorating day by day, How much longer will the people of Gaza suffer? It’s time we made an impact, a Qableeh led effort to do the little we can.
Our Goal is simple to raise $20,000 for the people of Gaza. All it takes is a $20 donation, for every day at Precious Provisions.
Let’s make most of the little time we have and seize every opportunity to help. I ask and urge all of you to continue to pray as it is the BEST way to ease the suffering and pain of those afflicted and I ask that this weekend as you commute to class you remember the blessings that have been bestowed upon you and donate all that you can for the sake of Allah swt.

By the Will of Allah we were able to raise $32,853.00. And the money was given to Islamic Relief, if you visit their website you can how they allocate the money to Palestine and what has been done so far.
