Mission Mani: ramadan 2024
Ramadan, the holy month of fasting in Islam, has always been an important month for my family and my brother in particular. No matter where we were, Ramadan was the one month where we tried to be closer as a family. Whether it was taking time out of our busy schedules to have iftar together, or flying in for Eid (the post Ramadan holiday), we made it our mission to make Ramadan our happiest month of the year.
Ramadan was especially important to Mani. Ever since we were children, he loved decorating the house and the dining area for this blessed month. Since the dining area was usually where we all sat down and broke our fasts, he would decorate the area like a night market every year a day before Ramadan to start the festivities. He would also make it a habit to volunteer for/donate to different causes during this month (more than he usually did during the year).
That’s why we’re continuing his legacy
I’m sure you can understand how difficult Ramadan has been with Mani’s absence, but to honor him and as a continued act of charity on his behalf, we decided to start the “Mission Mani Ramadan Packages” initiative. This initiative was started in Lahore, Pakistan. Each box contained enough staples and grocery for Ramadan.
We managed to donate monthly staples to over a dozen families in Lahore for this holy month. May Allah (SWT) accept this act of charity on behalf of our founder. Ameen.
Although this was a small start, we hope to include dozens, hundreds, and thousands more to this endeavor, Inshallah.
