In the Name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful Announcement Concerning: The Crescent Moon of the Holy Month of Ramadan, 1443 A.H. إعلان بخصوص هلال شهر رمضان المبارك ١٤٤٣ هـ To the respected believers in North America, Peace be upon you. The Moon-Sighting Committee of the Council of Shia Muslim Scholars of North America announces that Sunday, April 3rd, 2022, will be the first day of the holy month of Ramadan, 1443 A.H. for the entire region of North America. This determination is based on the fact that there were no verified sightings of the crescent moon by the naked eye at sunset on Friday, April 1st, 2022 in any region of North America. Thus, Saturday, April 2nd, 2022 will be the last day of the month of Shaban. Ramadan Mubarak!

All of you are missing the point entirely. Watch the clip again. Putin is referring to the oligarchs of his country, edit: and he's saying the Westernized elites are being used against Russia.

Bismillah,Ça fait longtemps que je suis en contact avec un homme qui vie en Gaza et qui fait du travail caritatif. Il s'appelle Hassan. J'ai mis en place une campagne de financement en préparation pour le mois sacré du Ramadan. On veut distribuer la nourriture aux pauvres et indigents de Gaza. On va fournir des légumes, des œufs, de la viande rouge, de la viande blanche, du riz, des lentilles, du sucre, des dattes séchées, des sachets de thé, de l'huile de cuisson, de la farine de blé, de la sauce tomate, de la confiture de fruits, du fromage, des nouilles macaronis, des fèves, du ghee, de la viande en conserve, du houmous et d'autres aliments en conserve. On va fournir également le lait maternisé, des couches, des serviettes en papier, des médicaments, ect, aux familles qui l'en ont besoin. Si les dons se suffise, nous fournirons également de l'argent aux gens qui nous lances un appel. Ce sont des familles ayant accumulé des dettes de loyer et des gens ayant besoin de soins médicaux.Le mois béni du Ramadan s'approche et nous n'avons pas reçu suffisamment de dons pour distribuer de la nourriture le premier jour. Pour distribuer un carton de denrées alimentaires à cinquante familles pauvres le premier jour du Ramadan, nous avons besoin de plus de 1 000 dollars américains. La valeur de chaque carton peut atteindre plus de 70 shekels. Pour acheter un mouton pour une aqeeqah ou pour l'abattre pour distribuer sa viande aux pauvres, son prix oscille entre 300 $ et 600 $ US.Réfléchir à ton Kaffarah. Pour nourrir soixante personnes en donnant 750g d'aliments de base « un mudd » à chacun d'eux, avec al-Ayn et ZahraTrust c'est 60 £, avec WF-Aid c'est 90 £ / 125 $ et avec IMAM-US c'est 300 $. C'est à dire qu'un mudd coûte 1 £ ou 1,50 £ / 2 $ ou 5 $ respectivement.Important! Récemment, nous avons reçus une demande d'une famille pauvre avec une dette de loyer. Nous cherchons à garantir le paiement du loyer de la maison où ils vivent, pendant cinq mois et à payer le loyer du mois précédent et ceci sera assuré par un contrat documenté. Leur loyer mensuel est de 350 shekels. Préciser si tu veux que ton don aille à cette famille, en nous laissant un mot ou un message. Remarque qu'au Gaza, USD et ILS, tous les deux sont utilisés.GoFundMe (CAD)PayPalTwitterFacebookSalamou 'alaicoum,

TL;DR: The blessed month of Ramadan is fast approaching, and we have not received enough donations to distribute food on the first day. To distribute a carton of food items to 50 poor families there on the first day of Ramadan, we need more than $1,000 USD. The value of each carton can reach more than 70 shekels. To buy a sheep for an aqeeqah or to slaughter it to distribute its meat to the poor, its price there normally ranges from $300 to $600 USD. Consider your owed Kaffarah for violating a fast. The Kaffarah owed to feed 60 people (giving each of them 750 grams of staple food, i.e. one "mudd"), with al-Ayn and ZahraTrust is £60, WF-Aid is £90/$125, and IMAM-US is $300. I.e. 1 mudd is £1 with al-Ayn and ZahraTrust, £1.50/$2 with WF-Aid, and $5 with IMAM-US. Important! A poor family has made an appeal to Hassan regarding their accumulated rent debt. We seek to secure payment of rent for the house they live in, for 5 months, and to pay their previous month's rent, and this will be secured through a documented rental contract. Their monthly rent is 350 shekels. You may specify if you want your donation to go to this cause, by leaving us a note or message. Note that in Gaza, both USD and ILS are widely used.

Salam, Here are some updates on the campaign. New appeal: Important! A poor family reached out to Hassan regarding their accumulated rent debt. We seek to secure payment of rent for the house they live in, for 5 months, and to pay their previous month's rent, and this will be secured through a documented rental contract. Monthly rent is 350 shekels. You may specify if you want your donation to go to this cause, by leaving us a note or message. Note that in Gaza, both USD and ILS are widely used. Good news! We no longer need to fundraise for the corneal transplant. The Referral Abroad Department of the Palestinian Ministry of Health has approved financial coverage of her corneal transplantation. The medical referral could be to Israel, the West Bank or Egypt. A patient who is referred from the Gaza Strip to Israeli hospitals or the West Bank, will have their border crossing fees (Erez Crossing) and transportation covered by the Palestinian Authority. Otherwise, the patient is referred to Egypt, where only the in-hospital treatment (corneal transplantation) for the patient is covered by the Palestinian Authority. However, in this case, I would personally cover her travel expenses and border crossing fees (Rafah Crossing). ₪250 for her Palestinian passport, shipped to her from Ramallah. On entry to Egypt, ₪77 Crossing fee on the Palestinian side, £400 EGP fee per bag inspected, $35 USD single-entry travel visa (stamped in passport as $25 fee payed), £35 EGP Covid test, £305 EGP Crossing fee on the Egyptian side, £400 EGP for transportation to Cairo, £400 EGP for transportation back to Rafah Crossing. On entry to Palestine, £400 EGP fee per bag inspected, £35 EGP Covid test, £305 EGP Crossing fee. Bad news! The blessed month of Ramadan is fast approaching, and we have not received enough donations to distribute food baskets on the first day. Further, to distribute a carton of food items to 50 poor families there on the first day of Ramadan, we need more than $1,000 USD. The value of each carton can reach more than 70 shekels. These were the costs, but there has now been a rise in the prices of flour, oil, sugar and some foodstuffs there, related to the conflict in Ukraine. Also, to buy a sheep for an aqeeqah or to slaughter it to distribute its meat to the poor, its price there normally ranges from $300 to $600 USD. Consider your owed Kaffarah or Fidyah. Kaffarah is owed for intentionally missing or breaking fasts without valid reason or having committed acts which invalidate the fast, whereby one must feed 60 needy people per violated fast, and make-up their fasts qada. Kaffarah is also owed for breaking an oath or vow to do something specific or swearing on something false to be true, whereby one must feed 10 needy people. Kaffarah is also owed for delaying make-up (qada) fasts past the start of next month of Ramadan, whereby one must feed 1 needy person. Fidyah is owed for missing fasts due to illness or pregnancy. In each case, it is 1 mudd of staple food (750g) owed per needy person. All of this is assuming that you can afford it. The Kaffarah owed to feed 60 people per unlawfully broken fast, (giving each of them 750 grams of staple food, i.e. one mudd of foodstuffs), with al-Ayn and ZahraTrust is £60, WF-Aid is £90/$125, and IMAM-US is $300. I.e. 1 mudd of staple food (750g) is £1 with al-Ayn and ZahraTrust, £1.50/$2 with WF-Aid, and $5 with IMAM-US. This is multiplied by 60 persons. The Kaffarah owed to feed 10 people for breaking an oath/yameen or vow/nazr, with al-Ayn is £10, and IMAM-US is $50. The Kaffarah owed to feed 1 person per delayed fast, with IMAM-US is $5. The Fidyah owed to feed 1 person per missed fast, with al-Ayn and ZahraTrust is £1, WF-Aid is £1.50/$2, and IMAM-US is $5 for them to implement it. Transparency. I have updated the campaign description to better reflect the items that would be distributed: For confidence in our donors, if you chose to donate through PayPal outside of GoFundMe, or via bank transfer (IBAN) or money transfer, a screenshot of the transaction will be posted to twitter with all your personal information redacted. For larger donations, it might be worth sending a bank transfer to Hassan's IBAN account number. The only service I've seen that offers international bank transfer to Palestine and at a reasonable rate, is XE. If interested, message me for the account details and relevant information. If you have any more questions regarding payment methods, transaction fees, conversion rates, and more, please feel free to message me. Note For PayPal that you are given the choice to convert currency using the card's conversion rate or PayPal's conversion rate, and your card's rate is typically better than PayPal's. Lastly, it has occurred to me that I should link our previous campaign (closed) organized by Heather, who is now busy with her pregnancy and moving to another State. Please donate Insha'Allah, GoFundMe (current campaign), note that it's in CAD. PayPal, USD IBAN (International Bank Account Number): PS80PALS045220720650013000000 BIC (SWIFT code): PALSPS22XXX Bank Name: BANK OF PALESTINE PLC For Recipient's full name and address, please contact me on ShiaChat.

One of the few news sources accurately reporting, and reporting on confirmed information only, ASB Military News, was suspended from Twitter. Follow them on Telegram to keep updated.

Bismillah, I have been in extensive contact, for a long time now, with a reputable charity worker in Gaza by the name of Hassan. I trust this brother with my life. I setup a fundraising campaign on his behalf, in preparation for the holy month of Ramadan. "and to those in desperate need of medical treatment"... On this note, there was an appeal made by a woman from Gaza who needs a cornea transplant, which is an operation not available in Gaza's health system. Hassan met the woman in person, and has verified that she does in fact need the surgery, and has photos of her medical records proving this. She needs to raise $3000 for her surgery, plus the cost of travel to Egypt, including the purchase of her Palestinian passport ($80), a multiple entry visa to Egypt ($70), and the transportation cost to reach the city where she would receive the operation. If you would like your donation to go to her cause, please leave a note or comment with your donation, or let Hassan know through DM/PM. Wasalam, GoFundMe PayPal Twitter Facebook

The black working class experience and the white working class experience is very different. That's all I wanted to say. Not sure how this went so off topic.

From a Christian Syrian...

Interesting take... "Populist Right and Left Joining Forces Against Establishment"

I would only suggest Qarai and Sarwar as reliable translations.
