please pray for the people of HAITI , MAY ALMIGHTY ALLAH give them the strength and fortitude to bear the loss (AMEN) , And if you have anything to donate contact the nearest UPS center , A little will go a long way,

I feel the pain and the destruction in Haiti , in fact one can only pray to Allah to be strong in times like this as people become desperate and the injured become hopeless(even suicide) if the aid isnt forthcomming. May Allah in his infinite mercies guide their actions in this times.

whoever can help or donate online should please do, as this will be indeed an act of charity in the path of God.

@Lagosboy, I pray almighty allah guide an protect you

Here is a link for anyone willing to donate to help the people of Haiti.

May Allah accept our efforts

Very good sentiments. 

In case some don't know (just as I did not until recently), there is a tiny population of Muslims in Haiti.  I met several members of a Haitian Muslim group while they were visiting USA.  They're so small that even some Haitians are not aware there are Muslims in Haiti.  Some of their beliefs/worldview is a little different from what I'm used to, but the ones I met were very well-read, observe salah, go to hajj, etc.  This particular group are very proud of retaining their muslim heritage since slavery time. 

They tend to hold in very high esteem, a former slave named Mackandal or Makendel.  History says he was a revolutionary who tried to help other slaves fight for freedom, but was captured by the whites and burned alive to set an example for the others slaves.

Those Haitians who still call his name have mythologized him to the point they believe he broke the chains and escaped from the fires. 

Anyway, I mentioned just to let people know we are everywhere - African and Muslim.

The people of haiti are always in my prayers.

Nice info and good insight as i was never aware of this as well.

N.B I like your signature , eko o ni baje o. . .

Must you Muslims always make donations because there are Muslims in Haiti? Why not emulate the xtians folks who are selfless and assist irrespective of religious affiliations. Why are even Arabians not donating?

Don't be a coward, there is no country where there is no christian from Afghanistan to Gaza, so what is ur wisdom here

No one has said anything close to your assumptions here, read the thread again and re read your post then assess your conscience if your assumptions here is right. Isale gan only gave an information we did not even know before the thread was created, neither did i know before i posted the link of an islamic charity on here giving aid to the Haitians.

Human beings are human beings regardless of race or creed, an act of charity is an act of charity regardless of the faith of the person, In islam we hav to be nice and treat all animals nicely, there is a hadith where a prostitute was granted jannah just because she gave water to a thirsty dog i think.

Nice 2 know dat there cld be such muslims. Thanx

your post above broke my heart. Sincerly, what do you think of muslims. Do you see us as heathens or what? Pls dont judged the entirety if muslims by the actions of a few bad eggs. It is very unfair. The virtues of a true muslim is kindness and love towards others

Bros u won't blame me. I grew up in an area dominated by muslims, an area where i watched my families and friends member being butchered and burnt 2 death by muslims shouting allahu akbar. What dn u think my perception abt dis heartless religion followers shld be? a religion which preaches peace but practice violence. Except u want 2 tell me Hausa muslims ar superior.

Good.Blame the people not the religion. The religion is innocent of any act that goes contrary to its teachings. May Allah (SWT) guide us aright.Ameen.

They were obviously fighting 4 ALLAH. So, i blame them.

How do you fight by disobeying? Doesn't make sense. Does it?

That is a very good question. All human being are one and the same. I cannot understand why muslims find it very difficult to love people who are not muslims. Even muslims don't love themselves. Anyway Muhammed have command them to hate the christians and the Jews.

Arabs will never donate because the people affected are blacks. Arabs hate blacks with perfect hatred. Arabs don't like themselves so why will they like another race.

The christians are selfless because they are commanded to love everyone as themselves.

Islam is not a religion of peace. The origin of the violence, killings, slaying, butchering comes from the Quran. Islam is a religion that was born out of violence, killings, slaying and deception. Hausa muslims or no hausa muslims are all the same ten and ten pence.

lol Americans, Israelis and Europeans are the ones basically fending for the "palestinian" arabs. Where are the so-called arab brothers? Egypt is busy building an underground wall to fence them out, they cant get citizenship in Jordan, Syria or Lebanon even if they were born there . . . so much for this nonsense . . .

I would guess "true muslims" dont exist then.

All those innocent lives and children. I don't have the words for it. I'll join the rest of you in prayer. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who is facing the disaster in Haiti, and everyone who faces disasters everyday.Lord please have mercy on us.

^^the 'Lord' has no mercy
if he did, this wouldnt have happened in the first place.

It seems some folks think God shld act exactly as they expect.

too "far gone" in what? This ridiculous idea that atheists are by default intelligent just makes me laugh.

and when you grow a brain you will get sense

Why are muslims not participating in the relief effort for the people of Haiti ?

It seems all Islamist are good at is violence, butchering and slaying at slight provocation

So u didn't see red crescent. What a rapscallion fella

while praying for haiti is a noble and praiseworthy action,i just pray and really hope the cancer of islamic fundamentalism does not invade that poor country.
it is obvious that they are looking to exploit the poverty in african countries to brainwash them into being suicide bombers that s why i am a littlke sceptical of muslims i see raising funds for haiti and stuffs

You are a complete i-d-i-o-t. The only country there is Turkey. Turkey is a secular country, Okay.

It is even better they are not there because Islamist are terrible. They will exploit their poverty and brainwash them into being suicide bombers. Muhammedan Islam is a threat to word peace and development.

What a slowpoke, so red crescent belong to turkey. I laf in english hahahaha
