Presentation Of Donations To Families Of The Victims Of Anti-terrorism Laws

.
Alhamdulillah, at last the MuslimDaily could write a report about the presentation of donations from the Muhsineens (generous donors) who are readers of MuslimDaily to the families of Mujahids or families of the victims of the anti-terrorism laws in Indonesia after the month of Ramadhan recently.

Like what we have reported before, the donation for Madam Naim Muniarti (wife of Mu'arifin) i.e. total of 5 million Rupiah, had been delivered on Saturday the 4th of September 2010. And then, a donation in the amount of 15 million Rupiah had been shared among 10 families at the end of the month of Ramadhan with varying amounts depending on the conditions, number of children and the most urgent.

The 10 families are:

1. Wife of Air Setiawan (shot in Jatiasih Bekasi), leaving behind a wife and two children.
2. Wife Eko Peyang (shot in Jatiasih Bekasi), leaving behind a wife and two children.
3. Wife of Supono Kedu (imprisoned in Mako Brimob), leaving a wife and two children.
4. Wife of Bejo (imprisoned in Mako Brimob), leaving a wife and five children.
5. Wife of Makruf (imprisoned), leaving a wife and a child.
6. Wife of Ziyad (imprisoned), leaving a wife and a child.
7. Wife of Pandu (imprisoned), leaving a wife and two children.
8. Wife of Joko Handulah (imprisoned), leaving two wives and nine children.
9. Wife of Heri P (imprisoned), leaving a wife and four children.
10. Wife of Arifin (imprisoned), leaving a wife and a child.

The nominal amount of donations given varied and could not be mentioned here. Hopefully they can slightly ease the burden of the families left behind. The remaining donations are reported in the details below.

Donations for the Children's Education

Previously, the MuslimDaily had also raised donations through the website and the Facebook social network for the education of the Mujahid families' children.

Alhamdulillah, there are some Muhsineens who are willing to finance those children's education. And which has already been running until now is the payment of school for the child of Yuli Harsono (Allahu yarkham) namely Ahwan Ayyash of Class 3 Elementary School at a Ma'had Tahfidzul Qur'an in Surakarta (300 thousand Rupiah per month). This payment for Ahwan Ayyash had already been paid and it will enter its third month after this Ramadhan. Also paid was the cost of education for the children of Heri P (imprisoned) where there are four of them and it has costed 1.5 million Rupiah per month.

The funding for this education is outside of the funds for the families of the Mujahids. So these funds are specifically for the education expenses.

The Establishment of a Foundation and Corporate Body for the Care of the Mujahid's Families

In the end, the MuslimDaily is thinking that it is not possible for the families left behind to continually depend on the donations by the Muhsineens. Thus we have a plan to form a corporate body where the profits would later be given to those families left behind until they are able to survive on their own.

Therefore the Editorials of the MuslimDaily along with a number masjid activists in the city of Surakarta, in the middle of the month of Ramadhan recently, had formed a foundation, for the time being the foundation is given the name Yayasan RUMPUT (Rumah Putih or White House Foundation). The establishment of this foundation was also followed by the opening of a corporate body where the profits would be given to the families who are in need, as it may not be possible for us to continually ask for assistance through direct donations.

Currently, only the above can be reported by us for the readers of MuslimDaily, as well as for the Muhsineens who have donated their wealth for these families of the Mujahids. And once again, the Editorials of MuslimDaily stated that the fund raising is purely from our own concerns and not the requests of those families.

For the philanthropists and Muhsineens, as well as donors who are still interested in giving donations, we invite them to send it through our bank account in the account number: BANK SYARIAH MANDIRI 2387-006-410. Under the account name: Muhammad Abdullah As Syafi'i.

After sending the donations, please confirm to us at MuslimDaily through a message saying that the money in such an amount have been sent, in order to ease us (redaksi@muslimdaily.net). A piece of funds you donate to them, insha Allah is very meaningful for them. Shukron. Jazakumullah.
