While traveling in Indonesia to oversee Rohingyan refugee work done by British charity Lonely Orphans, Syed Ikhlaas came across a true hero: Yusuf.

What's so remarkable about Yusuf? Yusuf is a poor fisherman who lives off the coast of Langsa, Indonesia. Recently he saved over 300 of Rohingyan refugees stranded at sea. Yusuf came across a ship laden with Rohingyan refugees who were fleeing persecution in Myanmar which was stranded in the middle of the ocean - 7 hours from shore. He radioed authorities for help but couldn't wait after seeing their desperate situation the only problem was that his small fishing boat could only accommodate around 48 people.
Yusuf fit as many people as he could onto his boat and took them to the shore rescuing them from the perils of the ocean. Despite the 14 hour journey there and back he didn't stop until each and every person on board had been saved. In total he made 7 trips and saved over 300 people!

Yusuf tells Syed:
"There were many in the water naked and stranded, I alerted the authorities and personally made 7 trips, 14 hours there and back from my island"
When asked about why he took it upon himself to undertake such heroic actions Yusuf told Syed:
"I had to help them, the rule of the sea is everyone must help each other, regardless of where they were from"
Syed says Yusuf is a humble man who isn't seeking recognition for his efforts.
Losing his only source of livelihood
Syed has informed IlmFeed that only a couple of weeks after Yusuf's heroic efforts, heavy tides caused Yusuf's fishing boat - his source of livelihood to sink and he cannot afford the costs of a new boat.
We have decided to set up this fundraising page to help Yusuf buy a new fishing boat. He needs £7,500 for a new boat equipped with GPS. Any additional money raised will go towards helping a Rohingyan refugee camp.
Please donate generously and help reach the target.

Do you want to help your brothers and sisters in Gaza?
Assalamaualaykum
I just wanted to tell you about a rewarding opportunity to make a difference to the lives of thousands of people inshaAllah.
Every Ramadan, the IlmFeed team chooses a worthy cause to raise funds for. This year, we learnt that 96% of the water in Gaza is unsafe for drinking (source: UNRWA) because of the decade long blockade imposed by Israel and we want to do something about.
Our intention is to raise funds for 5 water purification stations which are able to purify dirty water by removing harmful substances. The unique thing about this project is that the water stations are solar powered which means they remain operational even when there is a power cut (sometimes the people of Gaza only have 4 hours of electricity per day).
Sa’d ibn Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died. Shall I give charity on her behalf?” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Yes.” I said, “Which charity is best?” The Prophet said, “A drink of water.” Source: Sunan al-Nasā’ī

It's Ramadan so your donations will be multiplied.
After donating, please share the link with your friends and encourage them to donate too.
