Dr. Hamid Slimi stressed the importance of involving the Muslim communities of Canada and the world in the international effort responding to Haiti earthquake disaster. He emphasized that charity should be made available to any human who is suffering as the Qur'an teaches and that it does not and should not discriminate based on any religious or ethnic differences. He said, "the Hatian people are our brothers and sisters and God loves to see the brothers and sisters help each other and He will reward everyone who makes any effort in this regard." |

Canadian Council of Imams Appeals for Immediate help for Haiti Earthquake Victims
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 13, 2010
Toronto – In response to the catastrophic disaster and immense damages caused by the horrific earthquake in Haiti, the Canadian Council of Imams appeals to all the Canadian Muslim individuals and organizations to make their contributions with all possible means available to them to join the national response, the international community and the different faith communities in response to this tragedy.
"It is our human, natural and Islamic duty to contribute with whatever means we can to make some difference" Dr. Hamid Slimi said in an interview. He added, " this is one chance where all faith groups could show the best of their teachings and how the latter become practical in reality. We cannot just stand and watch without doing our share. We must do something whether individually or collectively as we did in the aftermath of the Tsunami a few years ago."
The Canadian Council of Imams appeals to all the mosques and Islamic Centres in Canada to organize collections after Friday prayers for Haiti victims and to try to work together.
Human Concern International, ICNA Relief and a few other Muslim Humanitarian organizations have already started planning collectively on how to work with the Muslim Communities of Canada to show the spirit of unity and care. |
