When Hajar (AS) was left alone in the desert with her infant son, Ismail (AS), she ran across the hills of Safa and Marwa urgently in need of food, water, or help to keep her baby alive.
Allah, in His mercy, responded with the blessed source of water that continues to flow to this day — Zamzam.
Today, thousands of families in our own communities are running through the same struggles. Not between the hills of Safa and Marwa, but between shelters and food banks. Not under the scorching desert sun, but under the weight of unpaid bills and empty fridges.
Like Hajar (AS), many families across Canada are worried for the survival of their loved ones.
A single father struggling to provide after losing his job
A mother forced to choose between rent and groceries
Refugees and evacuees rebuilding their lives after fleeing unimaginable circumstances
Families caring for elderly loved ones while grappling with their own financial strain.
People living with disabilities unable to make ends meet
