السلا م عليكم ورحمة الله وبركا ته Al-Khaadem Fund Raising Dinner 2008 In Aid of the Home of Hope Friday, 1st August 2008 Sime Darby Convention Centre, 1A Jalan Bukit Kiara 1, 60000 Kuala Lumpur. It is our pleasure to invite you to the Al-Khaadem Fund Raising Dinner 2008, whereby all proceeds will be channeled to fund the construction cost of Pertubuhan Al-Khaadem’s flagship project, the ‘Home of Hope’ in Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam, Selangor. This year’s Fund Raising Dinner will be graced by Shaikh Yassir Fazaga, the Imam of Orange County Islamic Foundation (OCIF) in California. Pertinent to relevant issues touching Muslim communities worldwide, the Shaikh has been invited to speak on “Self-Imaging”. Pertubuhan Al-Khaadem, which means “Serving Mankind”, was founded in 1984 by a group of volunteers and was subsequently registered in 1992 as a non-profit charitable organisation. In September 2006, the construction of the Home of Hope at a cost of RM6.7 million was launched on a 3 acre plot endowed to Al Khaadem. A first-of-its kind, the Home of Hope is sanctuary that brings together a nurturing community made up of 250 orphans, single mothers, abused women and the elderly encompassing various races, creeds and colour. It is our goal that the Home will create a sustainable community, generating independent and self-sufficient individuals of the community through educational, training and re-skilling programmes. The Home will also serve as a support centre for counseling programmes and encourage volunteerism and charitable activities. To-date, RM4.5million of the construction cost has been disbursed. Al-Khaadem continues to source an amount of RM2.2 million as full settlement to Jowahaki Sdn Bhd, the contractor of this project. We are fortunate that Johawaki Sdn Bhd has been very kind to allow a deferment on this balance. It gives us great pleasure to inform you that all your donations are eligible for tax exemption. We sincerely look forward to your continuous generous support. Truly, only Allaah s.w.t is able to reward you bountifully. Allaah promises:“ And whatsoever you spend of anything (in Allaah’s Cause), He will replace it. “ ( 34:39) In closing, I wish to share with your goodself part of a hadith narrated by Anas bin Malik (r.a) where Prophet Muhammad s.a.w said : “ …No charity ever decreases wealth, and Allaah grants the slave grace for his pardoning others …(Muslim) Thank you, Muhammad Hussain Abdullah President Pertubuhan Al Khaadem, Malaysia. www.al-khaadem.com.my About Brother Yassir Fazaga · Yassir Fazaga is an inspiring, multi-lingual speaker sought-after from USA through Canada to the Middle and Far East.
