(from En. Shamsol to Puan Jamilah)

Salam Jamilah,

The orphanage is Maahad Tahfiz (Anak2 Yatim) Darul Tahzib at Teluk Kumbar (near Puspakom). The mudir is Ustaz Hj. Shahul Hamid of Al Azhar. Ust Shahul is a well known penceramah in Penang masjid/surau circuit. He has monthly lectures in Kedah, Langkawi and Brunei. Also he opens classes to belajar kitab2 muktabar from Ulama' every Tue and Friday after Isya at his pondok for outsiders like us. Menuntut ilmu is fardhu ain and he is generous enough to spend time until late night to teach people like us (non pondok student) pondok style education (guru, kitab, nota, soalan)

Currently Darul Tahzib is planning to expand it's school by buying a 5-acre land for a perkampungan Islam in Teluk Kumbar. This perkampungan Islam will provide free schooling and accomodation for orphanage/OKU (buta) ahli2 hafiz, rumah orang tua2, ibu tunggal and orang2 susah. Currently orang2 buta OKU Islam mendapat pelajaran di St. Nicholas untuk bermain muzik, craft, dll. There they also teach org2 buta Islam mengurut. Terdapat satu kes yang dijumpai oleh Ustaz Shahul one Hafiz perempuan mengurut kaki lelaki untuk cari nafkah. Dan tiada rumah Islam dedicated for org2 tua dan ibu tunggal. Ustaz Shahul feels that this is fardhu kifayah that somebody has to do it, or else semua umat Islam Pulau Pinang akan sentiasa di dalam dosa kerana tiada solutions for these people.

The school now needs funds to build this safe-haven. Currently it is launching a wakaf campaign of RM25/sq.ft for this land. A tax-exemption receipt will be given to contribution more than RM500 (i.e. 20 sq.fet). I'm one of the person pemegang amanah for this collection. I feel RM2000 per professional household (RM1000 per spouse) is reasonable for professionals like us in Motorola. It's 100% tax exempted anyway.

Sedekah makanan/consumable is considered sedekah sabil, i.e.one time pahala once they consume the food. Also rumah anak2 yatim usually is well fed. This wakaf donation will be considered Sedekah Jariah, i.e. the pahala will be continuous until kiamat Insya'Allah as long as people use our wakaf. Imagine we get percentage of pahala from these ahli tahfiz using our wakaf, masyallah. Allah maha pemurah.

I can bring the rombongan to go to Darul Tahzib any weekends and meet Ust Shahul at his pondok. The wakaf donation is open until end of this year. But if we want to have barakah Ramadhan, payment can be made during the Ramadhan month. I can be stationed in techno at zohor for the collection if you want.

Pls war-war kan this berita. We can tell our children that we contributed to this wakaf once it was completed Insyallah, and kita boleh singgah to attend kuliah every after prayer in the masjid in this perkampungan Islam. (there's already a donor to build a complete masjid, now we need the land) You also can sedekah jariah for this wakaf on behalf of other people, i.e parents, tok, tok wan, etc.

Thanks for your attention.

wassalam, Shamsol.
