Our Latest Addition

On 1^st June 2008, we welcomed Aidil Afiat bin Yaziz, 4, into the Rumah Aman family. He is the younger brother of Mohamed Ikmal Rashid, 7, who has been with Rumah Aman for the past two years.

We took in Aidil Afiat to fill in one of the five vacancies we had. Since March 2008, five children were taken back by their mothers because the mothers are now financially independent and thus no longer eligible to receive zakat. All five are orphans - fathers have demised - so we hope to replace them with other more deserving orphans.

The five are twins, Zahiruddin and Zahirulhaq bin Amdan both 8 years old and three brothers, Muhamad Jauhari, 6, Ikmal,7 and Muhammad Izaat bin Junaidi, 8 years old.

Zahirudin and Zahirulhaq left Rumah Aman on 10^th of March. Their mother started a chicken farm about a year ago with the assistance of the Deparment of Agriculture Malaysia.

Besides reporting that the chicken farm is doing quite well, she also told us she may re-marry in a few months time, insya-Allah. She thought since her financial status is much better now, she should let other deserving children be placed at Rumah Aman.

The twins have an elder brother, an elder sister and a younger sister, all school going presently.

The mother of the three brothers took them in stages. She stook Jauhari on the 26^th of April and then took Ikmal and Muhammad Izzat on the 8^th of June. She said she is re-marrying and her future husband has requested her to take the children back as he can afford to care for them.

We wish the best to Zahiruddin, Zahirulhaq, Jauhari, Ikmal and Mohamad Izzat. We hope we have touched their lives as they have touched ours.We pray Allah give them good health and success in all of their endeavours.

Do remember us because we shall not forget you and do visit us sometime, we will receive you with open arms.
