On the Suffering in Turkey and Syria

by Imam Earl Abdulmalik Mohammed

8 February 2023

We are praying for the families of earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria. We are recalling Muhammed the Prophet’s words, the prayers and the peace be on him: “Allah is Good and accepts only good.” We witness this good in the heroic and tireless efforts by relief and first aid workers laboring under the most extreme conditions to bring as many as possible to safety.

We pray to Allah to strengthen them for this purpose. We pray for strength demonstrated in the Turkish and Syrian leaders and common citizens, all affected, to keep to faith and service, and not surrender to any desperation.

Our Muslim American Ministry for Human Salvation office is essentially a charity. And so 100% of any donations made to MAMHS marked ‘Turkey and Syria Earthquake Relief’ will be forwarded to the reputable and authorized agencies working to support the relief efforts and general humanitarian aid to the families affected in Turkey and Syria.

We pray to Allah to relieve the burdens of those that suffer, wherever or whomever they are.
