Assalam alaykum Dear Brothers and sisters For your info, please assist where you can and spread the word. Thank you for your email and your concern for the Muslim inmates who are behind bars. Over the years we have initiated programs in the prisons that can help our inmates be proper citizens and above all better Muslims. The number of revertees in the prisons increases daily and we seek support of our brother and sister to take care of their needs. We would therefore ask you to give us your support however much you can: 1- Provision of Islamic literature (books) in the prisons throughout the country to enlighten the inmates on the virtues of Islam and the best way of making the best out of it. Any Islamic literature that you feel can benefit these brothers and sisters can be dropped at Ummah Foundation Office or Parklands Mosque which is our collection point. 2- Salah is obligatory on every Muslim and these inmates are in dreadful need of prayer mats. Most of them make their five daily prayers under very unhygienic conditions and corrective measures need to be taken to salvage them from this deplorable situation. Currently they need 100 rolls of mats of 30feet width. 3- Quran both translated in English and Kiswahili- they have a lot of time which can be utilized properly in learning and memorizing the holy Quran. They need 200 copies. 4- They also need Kanzus that they can be wearing during prayer times. 3000 Kanzus will suffice for all the numbers available. 5- Water drums of 210 litres each can be of great assistance in terms of availing water for Wudhu and purification. We are also collecting 2 litre jericans that can help the inmates in ablution. They are in dire need of 20 water drums that will alleviate the water shortage problem and 1000 jericans. 6- During the month of Ramadhan the Inmates need dates to break their fast. 2000 kg will be of great help to the inmates. 7- Sanitary towels and underpants for the Women inmates at Langata and Nakuru prisons. 8- Soap and Sandals for washing. 3000 pairs of sandals and 30 boxes of bar soap. Any help you will accord Ummah Foundat meet its obejectives in this rehabilitation program will be highly appreciated. Jazakum Allah Khayran.
