Assalamu walaikum brothers and sisters. I’m sure everyone of us is extremely disturbed by what has just taken place in Lebanon. I feel helpless and I don’t just want to sit around. I don’t have the financial means to donate individually however I was thinking collectively we could set up a fundraiser to send to individuals (I know someone who can contact individual Lebanese people to help them, sister Berak Hussain to be exact). I’m just putting this out here so we can all discuss on how to help. Some ideas: I live in London so maybe everyone from London can help to organise something to help fundraise. And that everyone from each city can do the same. Or we can create an international fundraiser, collaboration... anything honestly any ideas are welcome I just really want to help. For now I know the only help that I have in my control is gaining more knowledge. Jazak’Allah everyone. May Allah bless all the Momineen and martyrs Insha’Allah.

Salaam, Between Muharram 1 - Rabi-UL-Awal 1, how much money is spent approximately in commemorating the martyrdom of Sayed-us-Shohada Imam Hussain (as)? Let's include everything from holding gatherings and lectures at home to large scale processions to traveling to Karbala, etc. So 1) How much is spent? 2) Is that money well spent? 3) Could it be spent on something else? Regards. ShiaMan14
