A Tremendous Opportunity for Ajr: A Call for Donations for Shaykh Ibrahim Dremali

Published

Innalhamdalillah.

Sh. Ibrahim FundraiserLast year, we mentioned the health condition of Sh. Ibrahim Dremali, hafidhahullah, as he began to undergo chemotherapy due to a complicated health condition. Now, Sh. Ibrahim is going through serious financial difficulty due to his chronic sickness and health complications. He currently is not working as his health is such that even walking and standing have been difficult for him.

As Sh. Ibrahim is among those whom we count as the leaders and scholars of our community, we feel that we cannot idly stand by and allow him to endure his ordeal without any help. In order to assist the Shaykh in his time of need, as he has touched so many of our lives, we at MuslimMatters are raising funds to donate to Shaykh Ibrahim. Shaykh Ibrahim has not asked anyone to raise money for him, but we love this scholar dearly for the sake of Allah, and we pray that Allah will put barakat for you and for him in whatever you give for the shaykh’s relief from the provision Allah has given you.

Keep supporting MuslimMatters for the sake of Allah

Alhamdulillah, we're at over 850 supporters. Help us get to 900 supporters this month. All it takes is a small gift from a reader like you to keep us going, for just $2 / month.

The Prophet (SAW) has taught us the best of deeds are those that done consistently, even if they are small. Click here to support MuslimMatters with a monthly donation of $2 per month. Set it and collect blessings from Allah (swt) for the khayr you're supporting without thinking about it.

For those who do not know Dr.Ibrahim, he has been one of pioneers of the Islamic work in the United States for more than 20 years! A co-founder of many Islamic institutes and universities including the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America (AMJA), and a prominent scholar who helped greatly in disseminating Islamic knowledge for the benefit of the Muslim and American community at large in the US. He has a Ph.D in Shariah (Islamic Jurisprudence) with specialization in Fiqh (Jurisprudence) from Al-Azhar University, and has worked in various capacities as Professor, Imam and Director.

Matching Donation:

To jump start the fundraising, MM will match the first $2,500 that is donated to Sh. Ibrahim, dollar-for-dollar. Individually or collectively, we challenge each of you and all of you to donate $2,500 for Shaykh Ibrahim. But we don’t want to stop there. Our goal is to get up to $10,000 donated to Sh. Ibrahim through MM. His financial need requires immediate action. Will you rise to this challenge?

How to Give:

You can send checks to Clear Lake Islamic Center, which is also raising funds for Sh. Ibrahim. Make sure you mention how much you donated in the comments, so we know how much to match. If you would like to keep your donation anonymous, then just comment anonymously, inshaAllah, to motivate others to donate.

Donate via Check: Make checks payable to Ibrahim Dremali (with a note indicating the money is a donation for Shaykh Dremali). Send checks to Clear Lake Islamic Center, address:

Clear Lake Islamic Center
17511 El Camino Real
Houston, TX 77058

You can also call CLIC at 281-480-3332 and speak to either Shaykh Waleed Basyouni or Shaykh Ibrahim Ezghair about the money you send.

Remember, our Prophet Muhammad, sall Allahu alayhi wa sallam, did not leave behind dinar nor dirham, but rather he left behind knowledge. So let us rally together to support this scholar, this inheritor of the prophets, our beloved Sh. Ibrahim Dremali.

The Holy Qur’an, Surah al Baqarah, ayat 273

[Approximate translation by Sahih International]
[Charity is] for the poor who have been restricted for the cause of Allah , unable to move about in the land. An ignorant [person] would think them self-sufficient because of their restraint, but you will know them by their [characteristic] sign. They do not ask people persistently [or at all]. And whatever you spend of good – indeed, Allah is Knowing of it.

[From Tafsir al-Jalalayn]
For the poor (this is the predicate of the missing subject, al-sadaqāt, ‘voluntary almsgiving’), who are constrained in the way of God, those who have confined themselves [in preparation] for the struggle: this was revealed concerning the people of Suffa, consisting in some four hundred of the Emigrants (muhājirūn), set apart [from the other Muslims] for the study of the Qur’ān and to take part in raids; and they are unable to journey (darban, means safaran) in the land, to engage in commerce and earn their living, since they are fully engaged in the struggle; the ignorant man supposes them, on account of the way they behave, rich because of their abstinence, that is, their refraining from asking for things; but you, the one being addressed, shall know them by their mark, by the signs of their humility and exertion; they do not beg of men, and make urgent demands, importunately, that is to say, they do not beg in the first place, so there is no question of persistence. And whatever good you expend, surely God has knowledge of it, and will requite it accordingly.

Hadith Shareef

A man came to Abu Darda (radi Allahu anhu) while he was in Damascus. Abu Darda asked him, “What has brought you here my brother?” He replied, “A hadith which you relate from the Prophet (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam).” Abu Darda asked, “Have you come for some worldly need?” He replied, “No.” “You have come only to seek this hadith?” He replied, “Yes.” Abu Darda then said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) say: “Whoever treads a path due to which he seeks knowledge, Allah will make him tread one of the paths towards Paradise. The angels lower their wings out of contentment for the seeker of knowledge; the inhabitants of the heavens and the Earth, even the fish in the depths of the sea ask forgiveness for the learned man. The superiority of the scholar over the worshipper is like the virtue of the moon on the night when it is full, over all of the stars. Indeed, the scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets, and the prophets do not leave behind dinar nor dirham, but rather, they leave behind knowledge. So whoever takes it, has acquired an abundant portion” [Abu Dawud & Tirmidhi, emphasis added]

    Dr. Dremali has done so much for Muslims in America that we cannot but take this opportunity to help inshallah.

    Let’s not let the matching funds not be matched…

    every dollar of yours is doubled right now, and every two dollars are blessed many-fold on this jumuah. Subhanallah Dr. Dremali was the one who would help us fundraise every time we needed and now its our turn!

      Assalaamu alaykum,

      I need to make a clarification. Sh. Ibrahim is undergoing chemotherapy due to a complex liver condition complicated with other complex health conditions, but he does not have cancer. In the original post, we automatically made the jump from chemotherapy to cancer treatment, but we have since been corrected and have corrected the post with the correct information. His situation is, of course, just as dire, and he is just as much in need.

      JazakAllahu khayran.

    MashaAllah, it looks like quite a few people are donating without mentioning their donations in the comments :)

    PayPal already shows that there have been $4789 in donations, mashaAllah. Adding the one $30 check mentioned in the comments, that brings the outside donations (without match) to $4819!

    MABROOK, you met our initial challenge of $2500, and we will be matching that much to bring the current total donation to $7319.

    Let’s not fall short of our goal of $10,000 brothers and sisters. We’re nearly 3/4 of the way there inshaAllah! Just another $2681 to meet our goal inshaAllah.

      I should mention that this number is assuming that, unless explicitly noted, the donations mentioned in the comments were made through PayPal (so we won’t double count them in our total).

      So if you are donating or already donated via check, and you didn’t explicitly mention that, do say so in the comments so we know to add your amount to the PayPal total inshaAllah.

    June 25, 2010 at 7:55 PM

    Subhana’Allah, what else is there to say about Imam Dremali? He is the most profoundly beautiful human being you’ll ever meet. He’s eman is as contagious as his smile. He has given my family and I the one that no one else ever can, that is to recognize and worship Allah (swt) the way He is meant to be worshipped. Wallahi, I truly love this brother for the sake of Allah, and will rally behind him in his time of need. We will dedicate our time and energy in bringing him all the support that he needs. Insha’Allah, this is all a test from Allah and though I cannot relate because he has cancer, I know A LOT about chronic pain because I’m encountering it firsthand. May Allah be pleased with him because he is a very exceptional human being who always strives in the way of Allah. We will help and support you today the way you helped and supported us yesteday. Our destination is the same but may Allah make the journey a lot more easier. Dear brother, I love you.

    Alhamdulillahi rabbil ‘aalameen, we’ve exceeded our goal to raise $10K, all in a single day. May Allah reward all those who donated as well as those who wanted to but were not able. May Allah place barakah in this and make it a means by which Sh. Ibrahim’s situation may be made easier. Amin.

    Just because we met our goal doesn’t mean we can’t raise more. Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could get $12K, $15K, even $20K for Sh. Ibrahim. Bismillah, let’s see just how high we can raise the bar, bi idnillah.

    Insha’allah I pray that all brother and sister donate to this cause, in whatever means they can. I live in
    the UK and forget about the blessing of having the NHS (national health service) where this
    kind of treatment is free. Payed by the tax payer who are muslims and non-muslim alike. Alhumdullilah, the health bill has been passed in USA and insha’allah paying for health service in USA and other countries
    will be a thing of the past. This should not be only developed countries but in every country across the globe!

    Please donate to this cause, Jazakullah Khair of reading my opinions. Allah (swt) is the one who ultimately cures.

      salaamz,

      It isn’t that simple!!

      Keep in mind that a lot of countries rely on the technological innovation that takes place in the US. The US is able to innovate because of the large incentives ($$$) offered by a Free Market. However, when countries do not offer such incentives, advancements go down.

      Secondly, delays, high costs, bureaucracy and things ‘slowing down’ really do happen. I know, I’ve worked for several government agencies and have seen it first-hand.

      But whatever, the Dems won on this anyways.

      • Kas

        June 26, 2010 at 11:25 AM

        I will dis-agree of advancement of technology inovation is 100% based on the free market . In Britain medical research is of the highest standard and have the audacity to say even on par with US. But British govement heavely funds the NHS and medical and technological advancement.

        I do not believe that bureacuracy slow things down, in the UK. The goverment has set deadline such as seeing a specialist for cancer in i.e 2 day period. So with the intervention of the goverment the health service has strigent targets, that why the NHS is so loved in the UK.

    SubhanAllah.. this is truly sad. Sh. Ibrahim Dremali is one of those shuyook whom you just love immediately. The very first talk i listen of his in Texas had me crying in public like I was a child. He connects to your heart and makes you want to change for the sake of Allah.

    I love him for the sake of Allah and him in pain and in this condition is hurting me. My own sister started wearing hijab after that same talk.

    He is a man this ummah needs in North America. May Allah grant him shifa and make this experience one that will expiate his sins.

    Allah is the best of planners and I know this is what is best for him and us at this time and ease for you and your family is on its way ya Shaykhana.

    You are in my dua’s and I hope you are reading these comments.

    We love you for the sake of Al Wadud and may Allah allow you to continue to serve in this great deen with your dawah.

    Alhamdulillahi Rabb ilAalameen. Our final total for this fundraiser is $18,209, mashaAllah.

    May Allah reward all those who donated, all those with the niyyah to donate, and all those who helped in any way. Amin.

    We have removed the PayPal link and ended our official fundraiser for Sh. Ibrahim, BUT this does not mean that you cannot still donate if you missed the fundraiser. InshaAllah, you can always write a check for Sh. Ibrahim and send it to Clear Lake Islamic Center, as mentioned in the post, if you would still like to donate but were not able to through MM.

    Salam alaikum,
    I wish to donate through paypal. However, the only donation type I see is at http://muslimmatters.org/become-an-ansaar/ Do I donate here while leaving a note with this donation saying it is for the Sheikh?
    Jazakallah Khair.

    OK, we’ll put the PayPal link back up, since it seems more people want to donate… we’ll leave it open for about a week, before closing the PayPal link inshaAllah.

    Well, alhamdulillah, looks like opening the PayPal link back up for a week was indeed a good idea, as there were another almost $2300 in donations after opening the link back up.

    That said the PayPal link is now closed for good, and, mashaAllah, we met even our $20K goal, having raised a total of $20593.39 in donations with a total of 133 individual donors, mashaAllah. Again, if you missed the PayPal boat, you can still contribute by sending a check to the address mentioned in the post.

    May Allah reward all those who supported or contributed or had the intention to do so. Amin.

    May Allah (sw) cure him soon. A check for $50.00 from my bank (SDCCU) will be sent by 7/8/2010. I wish I can do more. Alhamdulelah.

      JazakAllahu khayran for your donation.

      Please, for future donations, just send a check made out to Sh. Ibrahim directly. We have closed the PayPal link, and it will not be feasible for us to indefinitely keep up with future donations made to our PayPal account.

    Assalamualaikum wb wr
    We sent a check to Sh Ibrahim about a month ago to Clear Lake Islamic Center, to date the check has not been cashed. Would it be possible for someone to give us an update on the status? Jazakumullahu Khairan, Barakarullahu Feeq

      Wa alaykumussalaam wa rahmatullaah,

      We have been told that it has been received by Sh. Ibrahim. Feel free to follow up with me at ahmad@muslimmatters.org if it is still not cashed soon inshaAllah.

      wassalaam,
