CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: SHARING OF SYAWAL BLESSINGS
Month of Ramadan is always a special moment for all Muslim around the world. The joy celebrated for ibadah, chasing for lailatuqadar, big rewards for sadaqa and drizzle feeling to celebrate Syawal Lebaran.
While all of us are happily grabbing all these joyful opportunities during Ramadan and syawal, not to forget there are people that less fortunate to buy new clothes, eat variety of food and drinks when breaking fast and those people who unable to even stand and raising takbir during tarawih.
إن الله تعالى جواد يحب الجود ويحب معالي الأخلاق ويكره سفسافها
“Indeed, Allah the Exalted is the Giver, He love generosity and noble manners, He detest bad manners.” (Narrated by Al Baihaqi, classed sahih by Al Albani in ‘Shahihul Jami’, 1744)
والصدقة تطفىء الخطيئة كما تطفىء الماء النار
“Giving alms can erase sins just like water ceases fire.” (Narrated by Tirmidhi, classed sahih by Al Albani in Shahih At Tirmidzi, in hadith no. 614)
اليد العليا خير من اليد السفلى واليد العليا هي المنفقة واليد السفلى هي السائلة
“Upper hand is better than the lower hand. The upper hand is the hand of a giver, and the lower hand is the hand of a beggar.” (Narrated by Bukhari in hadith no. 1429, Muslim in hadith no. 1033)
Islam always advise ummah to give plenty of charities, especially during the month Ramadan. And that supposes to be the manner of all Muslims; generous. Allah and His messenger ordered, even gave example to the followers of Islam to be a generous and open-handed person.
In conjunction to Ramadan celebration this year, Yayasan Modal Insan Harta (YMIH) advocate a program of “Sharing of Syawal Blessings”. The program targeted those less fortunate people especially children. It is one of the responsibility as an organization for blessings and remarked a continuous profound effect not only to us but also to those who received it. This program is a yearly initiative to help those in need.
The distribution of this donation consists of; Donation to 5 houses and organisations -Orphanage, Asnaf poor home, Old folks home, OKU / disabilities homes, home for illegitimate child, Duit raya to orphans and Asnaf poor students of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tengku Mahmud Iskandar Johor and Zakat to Ex Harta staff – having difficulty to survive.
On 5th June 2018, YMIH visited Pertubuhan Nor Aini, an old folks home at Kajang. This house locates around 40 all men old folks who are mostly haven’t been claim by their family from hospital. Living a life with the fact of ‘dumped’ by family, it’s a sad truth that human could’ve do that to their own blood who’ve raised them. No matter how bad the fathers treat them but we always heard the term “He is still your father”. Looking at their face caving for a children’s love is a truly heartbreaking.
On 6th June 2018, YMIH visited Pusat Jagaan Titian OKU Nur at Batu 16 Rawang, Selangor. This house is a shelter for 50 children – elderly and disabled people. Most of the elderly here are not claim by their heirs from the Kuala Lumpur General Hospital and Titian OKU Nur were forced to receive new patients. Most of the occupants here are disabled – mental, physical, educational, learning disabilities and elderly citizens.
On 7th June 2018, YMIH visited Pertubuhan Rahoma Darul Fakir at Kampung Datuk Keramat, Kuala Lumpur to contribute donation in conjunction with Ramadan and upcoming Syawal celebration. We able to walk around and consider the house, the children there are comfortable and living with adequate situation. Dato’ Faridah, the management of Pertubuhan Rahoma said that this upcoming Syawal all the children will be back to their family or relative’s house to celebrate.
On the same day YMIH visited Rumah perlindungan Nur Hati, where this house occupied by 60 children and most of them are babies and young kids. This house is a home for illegitimate baby and children, orphans and abandoned ones, single mothers and elderly women, OKU, problematic teenagers, and mualaf. We found this house is special as it is the home that protect the fate of the abandoned children and women.
Not to forget, YMIH managed to visit the management of Pertubuhan Kebajikan Anak-Anak Malaysia at Surau Al-Barakah, Flat Taman Kosas, where they organised a program to help Asnaf poor and Orphans at Flat Taman Kosas. This program is targeted to poor family and children by providing their breaking fast/moreh food. It is a good initiative to help those in need during the month of Ramadan.
Contribution of duit raya from Yayasan Modal Insan Harta (YMIH) to the Unit Kebajikan, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tengku Mahmud Iskandar, Johor in conjunction with upcoming Syawal. The teachers have brought about 103 orphans and 136 poor students to buy their necessity for Syawal.
We hope with this contribution, it will alleviate those unfortunate people. Hopefully this year's Syawal will bring joy to their smile.
