Support for Cecilia and Ahmed

As Salaamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuh,

We recently received the devastating news that our beloved brother Ahmed has run out of treatment options for stage IV colon cancer, which he has been bravely battling with his amazing wife and best friend by his side for several years now.

Cecilia and Ahmed are both extremely dedicated and active members of our community, doing everything fisabillilah (for the Sake and Pleasure of Allah alone) and we would love for everyone to please show them even a tenth of the raw and heartbreakingly sincere love and support they've shown us over the years - maashaAllah even that would overflow the largest vessel.

There is incredible mercy in giving our brother Ahmed the relief and ease of knowing his wife and four lovely children are being financially and emotionally supported at the time of Allah’s choosing when He calls him back.

Any gift donation amount is welcome and encouraged, and we hope will leave them free to cherish every bit of time they have together. All financial gifts are being handled with the utmost taqwa possible and will go completely toward the family to cover living expenses for Ahmed's surviving wife and children, funeral and end-of-life costs, and medical bills.

We welcome full transparency to ease the minds and hearts of donors so that his immediate family receives the most benefit possible.

Please, above all else make the most sincere duaa you can make as often as you can make it, because duaa is superior to all else. 


Warmest Regards,

Kim, Assmaa, Rascha, Nuriman and a whole host of loving family.

For those who are generously inquiring, donations are zakat-eligible**, as Ahmed has been the family's sole provider.

**Please remember to allow for and calculate in the GFM fee of 2.9% + 30¢/donation when giving zakat. JazaakumAllahu khayran.
