Sidi Nader Khan, and Dr. Bano Murtuja from SeekersHub Toronto visit The Mississauga Foodbank to formally hand over the funds and food items collected during SeekersWorks’ “FeedMe Fast” campaign of Ramadan 1432 / August 2011. Over $2,200 was collected, which allows them to distribute $15,000 worth of donated food into the community!

This song, written by Imam Zaid Shakir, expresses desire to experience true love of God. This live rendition by Sidi Nader Khan (www.NaderKhan.com) was performed at the Al-Ghazzali Centre’s SeekersRetreat, April 2011, outside Melbourne.

It was captured on video by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani’s iPhone.

Dear reader,

Ramadan is now upon us and ReliefWorks and Meal Exchange are looking for your support to end off their Feed Me Hunger Campaign on a high note.

“How can I help?”

Here’s how you can help “DO Something” about Food Insecurity and Hunger in your own communities today: (click here to find out)

The campaign officially ends shortly after the end of Ramadan, on September 15 2010. What better time to work on the issue of hunger in Canada, than during this blessed month?

As a Director of ReliefWorks, I am appealing to all of you to assist us in making a difference in the lives of the hungry and the needy.

“What does the new single have to do with this?”

To assist this campaign, I’ve recorded a rendition of “The Letter”, originally written, composed, recorded, and released by my dear friend and brother, Dawud Wharnsby , during the Kosovo crisis in the mid-90′s. It has been rendered here with his permission and approval. Please do invite your friends and loved ones to stream or download the song on the links above.

Please note that a music video for this song is being released this Saturday, August 28, 2010. Please: 1. share it with others, and 2. actively encourage them to get involved in this campaign.

“Why is this important in Ramadan?”

As you approach the time to break your fast this month, please consider what a tremendous difference you can make in the lives of the hungry in your own neighbourhoods, for whom hunger is not a consequence of choice.

The Beloved Prophet once said: “He is not a true believer, who goes to bed with a full belly while his neighbour remains hungry.” For the increasingly burgeoning masses who find themselves heading towards the foodbanks for help, almost half of whom are children, we can’t afford to do nothing about it.

During this blessed holy month, we get to experience by choice and for a limited time, what 2.7 Million people live with everyday in this beautiful country of ours, our Canada, our home and native land. This Ramadan, let’s manifest The Prophet’s concern for the well-being of others by making a difference in someone’s life.

I wish you all a blessed Ramadan, and a festive Eid.

Nader

Every $20.00 equals food for a mother and her child for a single day.
