Flood in PakistanPakistan is experiencing the worst flooding it has seen in over 80 years. Entire villages have been washed away, an early estimate of over
1,600 deaths so far and over 2 million displaced or otherwise affected. Not only is the immediate water damage causing havoc, the floods have inundated crop-producing areas, dealing a crippling blow to the
agricultural-based economy and threatening a food crisis. The Pakistani
government now struggles to rescue and provide aid to millions – while
still fighting with militant Islamist forces in many of the hardest-hit
regions. With even more heavy rains predicted in the coming days, here
are a handful of recent photographs of Pakistanis as they cope with this
latest disaster.

We appeal to all Pakistanis living in United States and elsewhere in the
world to generously donate to the following three Michigan based
Pakistani Organizations. Emergency assistance is urgently required and
your immediate assistance would be greatly appreciated. “In the
aftermath of the floods there is a serious risk to survivors from
potentially deadly diseases which will spread as a result of
contaminated surface and drinking water.” Your donations will help make
a difference to the people of Pakistan whose homes and livelihoods have
been washed away by severe monsoon floods.
Help your fellow Pakistanis with your Zakat during the holy month of
Ramadan.

    This is a mini form of Azaab-e-Noah. Allah has given Pakistanis a warning again to amend their non Islamic way of life, since the Pakistanis did not learn any lesson after the earthquqke. Allah is warning you again and again!
    Look around your scoiety, is it Islamic are our mothers, sisters and daughters following Islamic code code of dress while going out of their homes.
    Are we men honest in our life with our fellow Pakistanis. Is our earned money HALAL. Are we honest in our trade and work. Do we pay Zakat and Sadka honestly, do we pray 5 times a day?
    Today Pakistan is in a mess and it is our own deeds that have brought death and sufferings to our beloved country. We still have time to save ourself as a nation, lest the anger of Allah whipe us off from the face of earth, as he has done to many nations in the past.
    May Allah guide us all to be true and faithful Muslims…Ameen.
