This one goes out especially for my fellow schoolmates who might not be aware yet of a collection meant for our senior Mr D who is suffering with cancer in the UK, initiated by SMAWP Class of 86 people. His wife, Kak D, is our senior from SMAP Class of 89, and used to be kakak garang in my dorm.

Eid 1428
I am no preacher - but haven't we been advised to prioritise our relatives and closer ones in giving charity? I have forgotten the hadith on that - but here's another one that might be worthy for a pause to reflect
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari:
The Prophet said, "On every Muslim there is enjoined (a compulsory) Sadaqa (alms)." They (the people) said, "If one has nothing?' He said, "He should work with his hands so that he may benefit himself and give in charity." They said, "If he cannot work or does not work?" He said, "Then he should help the oppressed unhappy person (by word or action or both)." They said, "If he does not do it?" He said, "Then he should enjoin what is good (or said what is reasonable).' They said, "If he does not do that''' He said, "Then he should refrain from doing evil, for that will be considered for Him as a Sadaqa (charity) . "
