Make sure you name the brothers and sisters you make dua’ for
Abu Abdullah bin Al-Khattab narrated that Abu Hamdun had a scroll on which was written the names of 300 of his close friends for whom he used to supplicate – one by one – every single night. One night, he went to sleep without doing so; so in his sleep, he heard a voice asking: “O Abu Hamdun, why did you not light your lamps this evening?” He awoke and, lighting his lamp, began supplicating for each and every name on the list until he completed it.
May Allah (swt) help all the brothers and sisters imprisoned. May He (swt) free them and help their families. And may Allah (swt) help us all help our brothers and sisters in prison, ameen.

Sponsor a Muslim Prisoner
Help their families
Assalammu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatu, I would like to say how much HHUGS helped me when I was in need. Families of prisoners are often isolated from their communities, shunned by other Muslims. HHUGS helped me and my children a great deal, particularly financially when I was struggling. The best times were at Eid when they organised a number of events for families to go to on or around Eid time, not to mention the gifts we all received. Before I home-educated my girls, HHUGS paid off the bulk of my school fees-anyone whose children have been in Islamic school will know how expensive it can be. HHUGS also assisted me with lifts back and forth from prison
I can only urge brothers & sisters to contribute as much as they can to this worthy cause, particularly financially as HHUGS are always in need. Insha allah you will see the reward in this dunya, if not then in the Hereafter insha Allah.
Create Awareness
Do public lectures; command the good, forbid the evil and call the entire society to Islam, as this is the only way we will see justice prevail.
Allah {swt} said “And who is better in speech than he who [says: “My Lord is Allâh (believes in His Oneness),” and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allâh’s (Islâmic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: “I am one of the Muslims.”” (Fussilat 41:33)
