Update 21st May 2012.
Alhamdulillah we done our first boot sale on Sunday.
Although it was very quiet we managed to raise £80 so this will be added to the other funds we have set aside for the sisters treatment Insha'Allah.
We will also try to do other mini fundraisers in the near future. Anyone able to contribute by doing a fundraiser on our behalf then please do fi sabil Illah.
Below are just a few pictures of the boot sale.
Subhan'Allah as soon as we pulled up people were gathering around the car peering in to see what you have and as much as we fried to keep things in an orderly fashion, no chance lol, they just came and wrecked everything and left. Alhamdulillah it was a great experience though.
Update 14th May 2012.
Jazaki'Allahu Khairan to everyone who either joined us or encouraged others to join us fi sabil Illah.
We now have those 10 extra sisters to help us on a monthly basis Insha'Allah.
With your kindness we have now been given the opportunity of sponsoring a family in Gaza.
The sister is in her 20's and is married with young children,
She is facing a huge test, with being diagnosed with cancer.
We have enough sisters to support this family on a monthly basis but would like to also support her treatment as much a s possible.
In order to receive the treatment that is needed, they have to travel to Jordan each time which, you can imagine would add to the stress and strain of having cancer and not being able to get the treatment in your own City, let alone Country.
Alhamdulillah that we are fortunate to have free hospitals, healthcare and everything we need, but some of us still complain about the many, many blessing's Allah has given us.
When we learn about other peoples situations we should use it as a tool to repent, return to Allah and be sincere in our actions.
Being diagnosed with cancer is a huge test as the treatment itself is so, so difficult, and it's not only the individual who is tested, this follows on to the whole family. How they react to the news, how patient they can be, how much support they can offer/need, or in some cases they leave the spouse as they cannot deal with Allah's decree.
We should thank Allah everyday for firstly, blessing us with His beautiful deen and also for our health, our wealth and every breath we are blessed with.
Please continue to support us with your donations for Allah's sake alone, whom without His Permission and Mercy then none of this project would be possible.
When it comes to my provisions, I rely upon Allah, my Creator
And I know with certainty that He will no doubt provide for me.
Whatever's in my due, will not pass me by,
Even if it were to be in the depths of the sea.
Allah the Exalted will bring it forth by His Grace,
Even if I were to remain silent over it.
So, what can a soul feel sorrow over,
When the Most Merciful has set the provisions of the creation.

Updated 26th April...
Assalaamu alaykum,
All praise is for Allah alone, without His permission none of this would be possible.
Masha'Allah Tabarak'Allah we have exceeded the 10 sisters needed Subhan'Allah , this will enable us to do that little bit more for someone else as well Insha'Allah.
Until we secure a family to support on a monthly basis we were able to give two families temporary relief as two sisters donated £50.
£25 to us may seem like peanuts as we are so used to spending and wasting so much money on things that we don't tend to need, just want.
These people don't have any choice and any help we can give is helping them with things we may take for granted.
There is still plenty of room for more sisters to join us as the more we have the more we can give fi sabil Illah.
Just thank Allah every day, firstly for guiding us, secondly for blessing us with so much and thirdly for being in a position to give and not be of those who have to take.
I ask and thank Allah every day for guiding us to His beautiful deen and that He accept the little that we are doing for His sake alone.
Masha'Allah, Tabark'Allah only 4 more sisters needed to facilitate the needs of these families fi sabil Illah.
jazaki'Allahu Khairan to all the sisters who have joined us and all the sisters who are striving to encourage others to good for Allah's sake alone.
May Allah accept it from all of us and may it weigh heavy on our scales. May we be the blessed ones who will be honoured to see the face of our only Creator Allah . Ameen....x

Assalaamu alaykum,
When you wake up, do you thank Allah for everything He has blessed you with, every breath that you breath and every step you take is only given to you by Allah .
Below is a video (In Arabic) but even if (like me) you don't understand much, the pictures alone will break your heart.
By joining us at Al-Huriyah for just £1 a week donation, this can give us the chance to find and fund children in these dire situations.
How can we be content with spending 100's of pounds on improving our home when all over the world there are countless families in such dire circumstances that it is unimaginable how difficult it must be Subhan'Allah.
There are countless charities and organisations out there doing a lot for the community but what makes us unique is that we ask you for no more than £1 a week.
We are a group of sisters striving to please Allah alone and are very passionate about helping our brothers and sisters.
Please join us on this journey as we are in talks with a brother who can help us in Gaza to support a family in desperate need and I have also emailed Al-Rahma Tv to enquire how we are able to sponsor one of the families in Egypt from the video Insha'Allah.
The average family is Gaza can survive on approximately $100 which is around £63 a month.
So we are asking 10 sisters to join us and donate £1 a week . This will generate £40 a month and we will add the other £23 a month Insha'Allah.
Not only will your donation earn you reward for the above but also for helping us to sponsor three orphans, five E-jaazah students and a child with a serious blood disorder in India, two needy families in Morocco besides many other small projects Masha'Allah.
Only Allah can give us the permission to do this but we need more supporters like yourselves to be able to continue with the support that so many need.
All I ask is that you open your purse just once a week and take out £1. Put this aside and donate the £4 a month. What could be easier.
I didn't post the video below to make anyone feel guilty but honestly, when you see how these poor children are suffering it must inspire you to do something fi sabil Illah.
Even if it doesn't inspire you to join us, get up and do the same thing for yourself.
Give to those in need before you, yourself become in need. None of us are safe from harm and poverty.
We are in a drought situation in the UK at the moment but do you really care. Is our drought as serious as the droughts in Somalia or are you just upset that you may have to cut down on using the dishwasher....
Lets wake up and smell the true reality of poverty and give relief to those who need/deserve it

Give today to invest in tomorrow for Allah's sake alone.
Donate weekly monthly or yearly via Paypal to mekkaouis@yahoo.com
Please also share this with others sisters.
And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. 2:25...x
