During Ramadan, a thought came across Azra after contemplating ways she can serve those in need during the blessed month, ‘Why would I wait for my friends or family to build a water well project on my behalf after my passing?’ It was a thought that she was very passionate about. Her originally being of Pakistani/Indian descent, did not matter. She wanted the water project to benefit men, women, and children in need, regardless of the location. Her project serves over 300 families in the Qara Doshman area of Kabul, as well as, the local mosque in the area. This water well project is a reminder that when intention and purpose are clear, The Almighty will find a way to deliver.
“If a man were to give one dirham in charity when he is alive and in good health, that is better for him than giving one hundred when he is dying.” - Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri
