Wisam Sharieff briefly explains why Muslims should participate in humanitarian efforts around the world. Any beautiful setting or environment on earth can become a site for disaster when the Mercy of Allah is removed from it. Whether the cause of suffering is a tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, hunger, oppression, or flood, Muslims should take the initiative to support and aid fellow human beings in their struggles.

Despite the naval blockade on the Gaza Strip, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) ensures the daily transfer of nearly 6000 tons of goods and roughly 260 truckloads via Kerem Shalom, an Israel-Gaza land crossing. Lawfully enforcing the naval blockade on the Gaza Strip allows the Israeli Navy to halt rocket and missile attacks into Israel by Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip.

Website: www.facebook.com Project: Grameen Bank Location: Bangladesh, other services under the “Grameen Family of Organizations” operate worldwide. Muhammad Yunus has had phenomenal success helping people lift themselves out of poverty in rural Bangladesh by providing them with credit without requiring collateral. Yunus developed his revolutionary micro-credit system with the belief that it would be a cost effective and scalable weapon to fight poverty. Yunus told his story and that of the bank in the book “Banker to the Poor,” co-authored by him and Alan Jolis. In the book, Yunus recalls that in 1974 he was teaching economics at a Chittagong University in southern Bangladesh, when the country experienced a terrible famine in which thousands starved to death. “We tried to ignore it,” he says. “But then skeleton-like people began showing up in the capital, Dhaka. Soon the trickle became a flood. Hungry people were everywhere. Often they sat so still that one could not be sure whether they were alive or dead. They all looked alike: men, women, children. Old people looked like children, and children looked like old people. The thrill he had once experienced studying economics and teaching his students elegant economic theories that could supposedly cure societal problems soon left him entirely. As the famine worsened he began to dread his own lectures. “Nothing in the economic theories I taught reflected the life around me. How could I go on telling my students make believe …

A local moneylender vengefully attacks a Dalit woman from a microfinance group Varsha founded Parivantan Janandolan Kendra some years ago. One of the programs her NGO is running aims at implementing self help groups, to help women become self sufficient. In this framework, a microfinance organisation was formed in Chakfateh village, in Vashali district, Bihar. Women, in particular from the Dalit community, have greatly benefited from it. “Before they used to borrow money from the money lenders, the interest rate was high, and borrowing was only making things worse for them. But now, the money from microfinance group actually enable them to go out of poverty,” Varsha explained. But empowerment means that some people have to let their former privilege and dominance go. This is what the local moneylender refused to accept. Thus, on March 16th, he violently attacked Sunita Devi, during one of her microfinance group meetings. She was slapped, insulted and hit with a stone. To this date, the police have still not arrested the culprit, although Sunita Devi registered a case against him. On a positive note, it seems that this violence did not frighten the women’s group. They are determined to support Sunita Devi. Varsha is also strongly backing up their fight. Her video is her main weapon, and she wishes people will respond to it.
