Assalaamu alaikum warahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu,

On the evening of December 16, 2011, typhoon Washi (Sendong) hit the island of Mindanao, Philippines. Particularly affecting Cagayan De Oro and Iligan City the worst. According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, as of December 25, 2011, 1,100 are confirmed dead, 1,979 are injured and 1,079 were reported missing. Most families have lost their homes forcing them to find shelter in school gymnasiums and other public infrastructures. There is a scarcity of potable water, food, blankets, clothing and children's milk. Inshaa'Allaah with the help of the Muslims in Australia through IISNA, these basic necessities would be easily made available. The current AU$ to Philippine Peso conversion is quite high which means a small amount of Australian money will go a long way in the Philippines.

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no day on which the people get up but two angels come down and one of them says, ‘O Allaah, give in compensation to the one who spends (in charity),’ and the other says, ‘O Allaah, destroy the one who withholds.’”

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1374; Muslim, 1010.
