Emergency Services Strategy of Rushd Charity Foundation
Afghanistan is a country that has repeatedly faced earthquakes, floods, avalanches, fires, and sudden crises. In such situations, hundreds of families lose everything in a single moment and become in urgent need of immediate assistance. Rushd Charity Foundation believes that a rapid and coordinated response to emergencies is both an Islamic and humanitarian duty; a duty that can save lives and restore hope in the hearts of the affected.
The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“Whoever relieves a believer of a hardship from the hardships of this world, Allah will relieve him of a hardship from the hardships of the Day of Judgment.”
