the month of ramadan was, and will remain special, the month of exploiting the occasion to do good, and to achieve easy wealth, for others, in the form of a share or in their capacity as those “in charge of it”!
in the interest of the “kuwaiti hum a nitarian friendship society” to apply the highest standards of transparency, since its establishment five years ago, and we seek excellence in our transparency, and our refusal to deduct any percentage of the donations we receive, and we are keen to do just that through our donation to the association, and enrich it instead of it enriching us because no member gets anything from the association, and his work is purely voluntary, and he does not even accept the employment of his relatives or deal with the association in any activity.
in a surprising behavior, a “charitable” association announced that its missionaries had reached the depths of the amazon jungle, and had succeeded in persuading five forest men to convert to islam!
i am not concerned with endorsing or denying the authenticity of the “amazon mission”, but how can one be convinced of the validity of the association’s goal, which often spent tens of thousands of dinars from charity funds, to reach the depths of the forests, which cover an area of 7 million square kilometers (the area of kuwait is only 17 thousand) and guide fi ve men -- i do not know in what language they communicated with them, how they were converted, and who will communicate with them in the future?
note that the inhabitants of the amazon speak thousands of unwritten languages, and if the news of the association is true, then it is like the most expensive “conversion” operation in the history of the call over a period of 1400 years!
there are those in kuwait who need help more than these five, whether to convert them to islam, or to spend on their treatment or education, instead of traveling 12,000 km to convert five men from the forests!
i do not know how the education of the relative, and the medicine of the cousin, became less important than the men living in the woods.
another party has been collecting millions for years, under the pretext of sponsoring a preacher, to guide people to islam!
“contrary to what we did and are doing in the friendship association, this party has never published a list of what it collected, what it spent, nor the number of those it sponsored as preachers, nor the number of those who were “converted” by its preachers, who are often unknown, nor who pays the preachers their salaries or how much. nor where do they go for guidance, but they seem to say “donate to us, and don’t ask us anything”! they know that there is always a naive person looking to do good in the wrong place and time.
on the other hand, the saudi activist hussein al-ghawi revealed, through an interview and tweets, some of what surrounded a donation campaign, perhaps the largest, entitled “one nation”, which aims, under the auspices of the global organization of the muslim brotherhood, to collect donations for the relief of those affected by the earthquake in turkey and syria.
it was stated that the campaign was headed by an academic and a former kuwaiti politician. his picture appeared in huge posters with pictures of dozens of those affiliated with the organization, some of whom have question marks and manipulation of the money of others, including those who were “deported” from kuwait, and a former kuwaiti deputy who had previously participated in the civil war in syria, which was called a “revolution,” and was closer to the “revolutionaries,” in addition to others, all of whom were described, in the posters, as arab leaders.
activist hussein added that the campaign’s money goes to the account of a suspicious turkish association.
also, the one that delivers the aid inside syria is an association based in israel, and it receives donations in shekels.
al-ghawi also revealed many other things, and challenged everyone whose name was mentioned in the video and tweets.
another charity announced receiving charity to dig wells in a poor country. the amount of money collected by that charity for over half a century is enough to dig millions of wells in every target country.
