Helping Those In Need During This Freezing Season Of Winter
In light of this freezing weather we’re experiencing in South Africa, many people have begun to collect and distribute blankets and groceries.
I do believe many people are genuinely doing collections and distributions, however there are some unscrupulous people who collect and sell the stuff you donate so please be aware.
As most of you know, charity work is something I love doing. To be able to help someone in need, is an honour as they teach you how to share and truly appreciate what Allah (God) has bestowed upon you.
Religion and race doesn’t come into it, as many people, whether they are black, white, coloured, indian, Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Tamil, etc. need our help as one human being to another.
I simply urge those of us that are blessed and in a position to help the poor within your community. Whether it be with food, blankets, clothes, shoes, baby’s clothes, toiletries, domestic cleaning agents, literally anything you have, people will appreciate it.
We all know that things like a hot shower, hot food, hot drinks, and a warm bed are among the things we want on such blistering cold winter days and nights. For the poor, destitute and homeless, these things are truly a luxury.
Some good news is that Gift of the Givers is hosting 2000 people tonight at the Oriental Plaza to assist the homeless and destitute by feeding them and distributing necessities to the poor. Volunteers are needed, if you are available. Please join us.
What are you doing to help the poor this winter?
Post your comments and let’s make this winter a little warmer for all.
Islamic Relief South Africa’s Fundraising Dinner
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Hi everyone
Has anyone heard of IRSA? Its short for Islamic Relief South Africa. Or perhaps just Islamic Relief?
If not, that’s ok.
Islamic Relief is a Charity Organisation which is Worldwide. It helps out in times when disasters, either naturally or man made, strike.
Although it is an Islamic organisation, it serves all people, of all religions, all places, and all cultures.
They do amazing work and its not only during the disasters that they help out, but also afterwards in order to help those that need everything from Medical attention to Food and Clothes.
On the 26th of May 2012, Islamic Relief held a fundraising dinner at the Sultan Bahu Hall in Mayfair, Johannesburg.
I was quite impressed by the work the volunteers had put in to make the evening a success as the hall was decorated beautifully, the food was delicious and hearty, and many speeches were given.
It is through those insightful, heartwrenching speeches and photos, which brought tears to the eyes of many attendees, that people opened not only their wallets, but also their hearts in order to raise funds to help those in desperate need of the basics of life.
Islamic Relief Worldwide is in need of assistance, and I sincerely appeal to anyone out there who is able to donate anything you can afford, to help out.
I do try to do as much charity and volunteer work as I can, but never had I seen people suffering so much, starving… and children so malnourished that their mother’s sit by their sides and when one asks why, their reply is ‘I’m waiting for my child to die’.
All because they haven’t any food and end up eating things like dried grass.
Babies cannot survive long and so with a lack of milk, their tiny bodies give up the battle after a small period of time.
Even water is a luxury for these people and children. Something which is so basic, and which we take for granted all the time, even that they do not have.
In a village in Sudan I think it was, the villagers dug a whole in the ground and when it rained, the villagers as well as animals would go to this hole to drink water, brown muddy water, but water nonetheless.
Please open your heart, and help Islamic Relief to alleviate at least one person’s suffering, one child’s suffering.
Their local website is http://www.islamic-relief.co.za
The international website is http://www.islamic-relief.com.
Let’s make a difference and help create a poverty and suffering free world by taking even the smallest of steps together.
Make Up: Is It Truly Essential To You?
As a woman, I know we all probably have tons of makeup around.
From foundations, to eyeshadows, lipsticks, lip glosses, blush, bronzer, mascara, eyeliner and lip liner. I know I’ve left a lot of things out, but I think that’s a basic list..
For someone that doesn’t spend much time using makeup, I simply don’t have the time everyday, I just use eyeliner, and off I go. ‘Au Natural’ I think is the term.
But come have a look at my dresser or makeup box, and you’ll be surprised to find so much make up, that will truly make you ask the question, ‘why do I buy make up if I don’t use it very often??’
To be honest, I think its the idea of making time to use it that makes me buy it. Yes, I know, its a terrible excuse to buy something.
But there you have it.
Although I may not be an avid user, I have seen tons of women who do use make up… However, some just don’t look quite normal..
You see, some women tend to use too much, and others too little, others simply don’t have the right colour foundation and it either makes them look too white, too brown, or too red for their complexion.
I suppose if we don’t really consult a makeup artist inorder to get the proper colours that’s suitable not just for our colouring, but our skin types too, than winging it may just make us not look very attractive.
Also, since my awesome sister is a make up artist & hairstylist, I’ve learned that not every style of make up that’s fashionable is going to suit everyone. Its perfectly fine for you to find a look that suits you, and that you like.
But please don’t over do it. From what I’ve heard this far, men love women that look more natural, and personally I agree with that opinion.
God made us each beautiful, I suppose we could enhance our beauty instead of trying to remake ourselves into someone else’s idea of what beauty is.
What is your preference?
1)Au Natural
2)A bit of make up
3)Fully made up all the time
Send in your answers, let’s see which style has the most votes.
Happy voting

Happy 1st December!!
Hi everyone
Can you believe its the 1st December 2011??
Where has the time gone?
I know I’ve been rather busy recently and haven’t blogged as much as I normally do, but there doesn’t seem to be much going on as far as events go.
Yes, Montecasino is still running the 100 days of the Ayoba Festival, so that would be nice to attend.
As for the rest, most people are going away for the holidays, so there’s not much going on.
Please feel free to add comments if you have any events you’d like to publicise.
This weekend for me will be rather hectic as I have some Islamic Events to attend.
As some of you know, I love being able to help with charitable and fundraising events, and so we are hosting a lovely tea for the children who have completed reading their Qur’aan for the very first time.
Also, SAMA School is hosting their yearly ‘Jalsah’ or concert on Sunday 4th December 2011. Its always entertaining, and the kids show off their acting and singing skills.
I will be updating as I hear of any great family or lifestyle events taking place.
Until next time, keep well and be safe.
