Zaad- Ul- Hujjaj Foundation holds their second annual fundraising dinner

On April 7th, the Zaad- ul- Hujjaj Foundation held its second annual fundraising dinner at the Afghan Chopan. With over 120 people in attendance, we were able to raise 12,000 towards sending one person to perform Ramadan Umrah this year and one person to perform Hajj. The program began with the recitation of the Quran by Hafiz Ahmed Khan, after which the host and Keynote speaker, Hafiz Abubakar Khan, introduced the foundation. The Zaad- Ul- Hujjaj Foundation is a not for profit organization that works towards sending people who are classified as ‘low income earners’ to perform Hajj and Ramadan Umrah. Due to the hefty costs associated with it, we hope to provide a few individuals annually with the financial aid needed to go to the Holy cities of Makkah and Medina where they can fulfill one of the obligatory pillars of Islam and experience a life- altering event. Similarly, the foundation aims to provide the facilities for the performance of Hajj-al-badal along with edu- cating Musims on the importance of performing Hajj which, Brother Mohammad Sanioura spoke about at the event through the presentation of info graphics. He was followed by Hafiz HammadUllah and Hafiz Raza who spoke about their personal Umrah experiences and Br Mohammad Fahim Afzal who presented information on the organizations annual accounting and budget. Afterwards, Mr and Mrs. Zulfiqar, whose parents went to Hajj this past year through the ZUH foundation, spoke about their experiences and the importance of supporting such causes. The evening concluded with Maulana Zafar Abid’s speech about the importance of Hajj-al-Badal and Maulana 1omani’s excellent fundraising. The Zaad- Ul-Hujjaj Foundation would like to thank all their sponsors and volunteers for coming out in support of this good cause. They are currently still accepting Hajj and Ramadan Umrah applications for 2018 and 2019. If you believe you are eligible, please visit their website at info#zaadulhujjaj.org.
