A W E S O M E ! In my heart, I was made proud by the effort. It must continue, not only during Ramadan, but at all times of the year and, not only Muslims feeding the needy, but every single religion must take a stand to end hunger for so many people in need. Allah Akbar.

I think this was a wonderful initiative. It's so great to see such events where it is clear that the muslim community is helping the less fortunate. What a great feat of charity. I pray that people will visit this site and see this article. Every action that a muslim performs, such as this event, shows Islam at work. It's a shinin example.

NASREEN KHAN FROM CANADA said:
Jazaakumullah Khair! It is indeed satisfying to see the wonderful work done by the Coalition, and I wish to express my deep appreciation to all those who participated in this endeavour. I hope and pray that this is not a one-time event, as the best action in the eyes of Allah SWT is that which is done continuously. May Allah SWT give you the capacity and capability to help the needy on a regular basis. InshaAllah Allah SWT will help you when you are in need in this Dunyia, and also reward you with Jannah in the Hereafter. Ameen.

all learn a valuable lesson from these brothers and

message of Muhammad (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam)

NVASEKIE KONNEH FROM USA said:
This is an effort that must be commended by all. This shows that we Moslems are interested in the welfare of our fellow human beings, even if they don't share our religious views. We must do most of these all accross America to show that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. That Islam is a religion of love, and not terror.
This act of kindness to our neighbors shows a beautiful picture of our religion as opposed to the ugly image most people have of it as a result of the ugly actions of the militants who are harming people in the name of our religion. It's about time that we stand up strong to rescue the religion from the manupulation of the political militants who are using it to advance their quest for political power.
Instead of supporting the bombing of the world trade center, Ben Laden and his followers should have built powerful radio and tv stations that would send out islamic message 24/7 all accross the world. The world needs to be informed or educated about this glorious religion. When people are provided the necessary information about Islam, they will embrace it in their millions. But each time these hot heads carry out bombing and destruction of human lives, it sends a negative message about our religion, which is not fair.

I am very proud of the actions done in southern California. Everything done puts a beautiful image of Islam in the minds of those people, and mashAllah they'll never forget it for the rest of their lives. Even with the attacks on this religion of Truth, Islam always shines through as the Most Noble. Keep it up. We are all proud of you.

PAULA FROM USA said:
They are to be commended for their effort mashallah.It is great for muslims to be observed as members of the community and as humanitarians,however,I see in some photos,drug dealers and the like( we see them everyday in our work in downtown L.A),just there to get what they can and Im concerned that many muslims are suffering in the world and the poor in the USA are considered rich in other parts of the world.Face it,our animals live better than many humans.My concern is not to divert our efforts away from those truly in our need,after all we should want for our brothers what we want for ourselves.

FAISAL SHARIF FROM CANADA said:
Dear Islamcity,
My name is Faisal Sharif and I just want to take the time to praise Islamcity for their efforts to restore human dignity in our society by helping out the poor. When Americans or in my case Canadians see these kind of activities organized by fellow Muslims, it lets them know that Muslims are loving, caring people. Inshallah by continuing your hard work, Allah(swt) will eventually pay you back in ways you need it the most simply because of lending a hand to the poor people.
Thank you,
Faisal Sharif
