On March 21, 2025, a devastating fire engulfed Gujnag Kadipora in South Kashmir’s Anantnag district, reducing 20 homes to ashes and leaving hundreds homeless during the sacred month of Ramadan. As Eid-ul-Fitr approaches, these families—our brothers and sisters—face a festival marred by despair, their lives shattered by an unforgiving blaze. This is not just a loss of property; it is a rupture in the heart of our community.
In this holy month of compassion and reflection, we cannot remain silent. These are the mustahiq, the deserving recipients of our zakat and goodwill. Their suffering is a call to our collective conscience. Eid, a time of joy and togetherness, must not become a reminder of their loss. We must act—swiftly and decisively.
This is an appeal to all: donate what you can—money, food, clothing, or shelter. If you cannot give materially, lend your voice. Share their story, advocate for their relief, and ensure their plight is not forgotten. Let us come together to rebuild their lives, brick by brick, hope by hope. When the Eid moon rises, let it find them not in ruins but in the warmth of our collective generosity.
The fire took their homes, but it must not take their future. This Eid, let our actions speak louder than words. Let us show them they are not alone. Together, we can turn despair into hope, and loss into renewal. The time to act is now.
