We've Conquered Kilimanjaro!

As-salamu-alaikum

Reaching the Top of Africa!

M.T.Khan, Charles Luarie (guide) and M.R.Khan at Uhuru Peak on Mount Kilimanjaro - highest point in Africa and summit of highest free-standing mountain in the world.

Alhamdulillah, all 3 South Africans of the Muslim Hands team have succeeded in summiting Kilimanjaro. At approximately 7:00 AM, Nadim Mahomed ascended upon Uhuru Peak to mark an epic moment in our Kilimanjaro Fund-raising expedition - and that was reaching the top of Africa! An hour and a half later, Muhammad Taher & Muhammad Ridwaan Khan summited at approximately 8:30 AM. Five other member of the 37-man team managed to summit.

With our fund-raising target surpassed and our Kilimanjaro climb successfully completed, we thank Allah (SWA) for all His help in allowing our campaign to be successful, for keeping us healthy, providing us with the physical and mental strength to summit, and for bringing us home safely. The children of Palestine were a constant inspiration and motivation for us, reminding us that the fleeting struggles of the mountain were nothing compared to the perpetual suffering that they endure on a daily basis. Insha'Allah we make dua that all our little contributions make some difference in their lives.

We also thank all donors who selflessly contributed towards raising money for the children of Palestine. It is your assistance that has made this project the success that it has become. Jazakallah'ul'khair to you. We also want to thank all our sponsors, without whom our trip would not have been possible.

Kilimanjaro Here We Come!

As-salamu-alaikum

The day has finally come. Insha'Allah in 6 hours tim we will be flying on our way to Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. It has been an exciting 6 weeks in the build-up to this journey of ours. Alhamdulillah, the training and fund-raising have gone well. And we feel that all those challenges that we have faced thus far have been worth it all, knowing that we have managed to raise over R300 000 in fund-raising - all of this money to be directly utilised to help the children of Gaza insha'Allah.

Thanks to all our friends, family and the general public who helped us with our fund-raising and also supported us in numerous other ways. We go to climb Kilimanjaro with firm motivation and intention, knowing that we are trying to make a difference in the lives of our children in Palestine.

Please make duaa for us that all goes well, that our climb is enjoyable and successful, and that Allah Ta'allah takes us and returns us safely back to South Africa. Ameen
