Project of Grocery Distribution in the Holy month of Ramadan in 2013.
Helping the poor is considered among the best of deeds and such acts have a special place in Islam. It's also considered divine service in which a Muslim is seeking a reward from his master/Almighty Allah. Charity is among one of the objectives, to ease the financial difficulties and bring hope and happiness to these people and families. Abu Hurairah reported that Allah's Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: „The most beloved of people according to Allah is he who brings most benefit, and the most beloved of deeds according to Allah the Mighty, the Magnificent, is that you bring happiness to a fellow Muslim, or relieve him of distress, or pay off his debt or stave away hunger from him.“ That's why the Office of the Muslim World league in Sarajevo and Princess Al-Jawhara Cultural Centre in Bugojno every year in the Holy month of Ramadan distribute grocery packages to the poor and socially vulnerable people, which is only a part of support and help by the King of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, Mr. Abdallah b. Abdel-Aziz Alu-Saud, Peace be upon him, as well as his noble brother and his governments – Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and The Kingdom of Humanity and Charity. All of this has been implemented under a supervision of the Secretary General of the Office of the Muslim World league, distinguished, doctor Abdallah b. Abdel-Mohsen at-Turki. We should also mention a lot of devotion and attention from the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Bosnia and Herzegovina, distinguished, Mr. Eid b. Muhammad es-Sekafi, Peace be upon him. In practice, the words of Almighty Allah “And they give food in spite of love for it to the needy, the orpah, and the captive.”, “We feed you only for the countenance of Allah. We wish not from you reward or gratitude.(Verse Al-Insan,8,9).
Also, following the example of our Prophet, Peace be upon him, and his words: „Whoever feeds a hungry believer, Allah will feed him with the fruits of Paradise; and whoever gives a drink to a thirsty believer, Allah will quench his thirst (on the Day of Judgment) with an exquisite drink of Paradise; and whoever clothes a believer, Allah will cloth him with a green robe of Paradise.“ (It has been reported by Ali ibn Al-Husayn).
