Why Do We Ask?
Why do we ask for people to listen? To respond? To support?
Sometimes I think this. No, often I think this.
And then I think about all the people I admire. They all asked people to listen, to respond, to support. So, when my head hangs low (and it often does), I raise it just a little after thinking of them.
Our beloved example and Prophet, Muhammad ibn Abdullah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked, and asked, and asked.
Our teachers, our parents, the humanitarian greats like Edhi Sahib and others all asked people to listen, to respond, to support what was good.
Why did they keep asking, over and over again? Perhaps it’s because so much keeps getting in between our hearts and the call to something good. It is not as though good is shown to us as oceans. No, rather is often hidden within valleys and peaks of distractions like streams and winding rivers. Sure, on occasion the rivers of good flood and flow, but most are hidden…even underground in some cases. So, when one of us finds good we must call out to people and invite them to the good we found. This is how the river and good grows.
So, I and the wonderful team, children, and families of Sanad Trust Foundation, like others before us will continue to call out and ask our friends, family, community and all who listen to see the good that we have found.
We ask you to listen, to respond, to support. The good the Foundation is doing has grown. The world needs more of it. For 8 years we have been blessed to have found the good that is in Sanad Trust Foundation, a family education center that aspires to maintain an unbroken chain of spiritual concern back through our parents, teachers, to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and ultimately God.
Join us in our himma (aspiration) for khidma (service) of children, families, and community. In these last few days of 2018 give generously and join us in the good of Sanad Trust Foundation. Consider giving today and becoming a recurring donor. Be our guest too at the 8th Annual Benefit dinner, Saturday, February 2, 2019, at Mehfil Restaurant & Banquet. Learn about how much we have grown and much further we intend to go.
Whatever you decide. Know that we will continue to ask you to listen, respond, and support.
You brother,
Rehan Mirza
Founding Executive Director
