Celebrating `Eid prayers on Saturday, Hussin Goss, chairperson of Cold Coast Mosque received a visit from an elderly man complaining about noise.
FEED THE POOR
Feeding the poor and needy is an act that draws us closer to Allah. We earn His forgiveness, mercies and blessings through this act of charity.
“Anyone who looks after and works for a widow and a poor person is like a warrior fighting for Allah?s cause, or like a person who fasts during the day and prays all night. (Bukhari)
The man, who came from a nearby nursing home, was welcomed by Goss who took the chance to offer him some food and talk to him about Islam.
