In The Name Of Allah,The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
(Preface)
All praise is due to Allah (the Supreme Being), Lord Of All The Worlds; and may Peace and Blessings be upon His Messenger, Muhammad Ibn Abdullah, The Seal Of The Prophets, who came to fulfill the prophecies, complete The Message, and perfect The Way Of Life prescribed for mankind by all of the Prophets who came before him. (May Peace and Blessings be upon them all). As for what follows:
"It is not righteousness that you turn your face to the East or the West, but righteous is he who believeth in Allah and The Last Day, and the angels, and the scriptures, and the Prophets, and gives wealth from love of Him to kinsfolk, and to orphans, and to the needy, and the wayfarer, and to those who ask; and to set slaves free, and who observeth proper worship and payeth the poor-due; and those who keep their treaty when they make one; and the patient in tribulation and adversity; and time of stress. Such are they who are sincere. Such are they who are the Allah-fearing. (Al Baqarah) 2:177
In The Name Of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
"By the morning And by the night when it is stillest, Thy Lord has not forsaken thee nor does He hate thee. And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former. And verily thy Lord shall give unto thee so that thou will be content. Did He not find thee an orphan and protect thee? Did He not find thee wandering and direct thee? Did He not find thee destitute and enriched thee? Therefore the orphan oppress not. Therefore the beggar drive not away. Therefore the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse." (Ad Duha) 93
Abu Hurairah reported Allah's Messenger (S.A.W.) as saying: "He who alleviates the suffering of a brother out of the sufferings of the world, Allah would alleviate his sufferings from the sufferings of The Day Of Resurrection, and he who finds relief for one hard-pressed, Allah would make things easier for him in the Hereafter, and he who conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in the world and in the Hereafter. Allah is at the back of a servant so long as the servant is at the back of his brother, and he who treads the path in search of knowledge, Allah would make that path easier for him leading to Paradise; and those persons who assemble in one of the Houses of Allah (mosques) and recite the Book of Allah and they learn and teach the Quran (among themselves), there would descend upon them tranquility, and mercy would cover them, and angels would surround them, and Allah makes mention of them in the presence of those near to Him; and he who is slow-paced in doing good deeds, his high descent does not make him go ahead. Sahih Muslim, 35:6518
About Us
The Maisha Benevolence Foundation
My mother, Maisha (nee Marcella Delores McChristian was a very loving compassionate human being. I do not need to recount the many good deeds that I am aware of that she did for her family, the Muslim community, and the community-at-large. Her record is preserved in a clear book.
Mommie and I used to dream of things that we could do to help people. How can we feed the hungry? How can we assist the needy? How can we ensure that young people are growing up in positive nurturing environments?
The Maisha Benevolence Foundation is the outgrowth of impassioned desire to improve "the human condition." And The Maisha Benevolence Foundation is humbly honored to give, share, and be of service.
