Hadith of the Week

"Islam has been built on five [pillars]: testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammed is the messenger of Allah, performing the prayers, paying the zakat, making the pilgrimage to the House, and fasting in Ramadan."

Countdown to Ramadaan

RAMADAAN APPEAL 2010

This year Nakhlistan intends to cook 140 x 130 litre pots of food. We, therefore, humbly appeal to the broader community to donate generously either in cash and/or kind. However, cash is preferred as ingredients of the same brand are used in the cooking of the food.

Welcome to Nakhlistan Official Website

Nakhlistan is a non-profit Organization ( N. P. O. 030-581 ) that has been established since 1984 and was founded by the Late Dawood Parker, Shaikh Sa'dullah Khan, Shukoor Mowzer and a few friends and started by cooking TWO POTS of food with the aim to spread the joy and happiness experienced by Muslims on the occasion of EID to the needy and destitute. This gives meaning to the month-long intensive spiritual training undertaken by Muslims.

Our name, Nakhlistan, in Persian means Oasis. It is a place from which sustenance is received after enduring a journery filled with lessons of sacrifice and perseverance for the pleasure of Allah. On the day of EID-UL-FITR, we hope to provide those less fortunate with some form of sustenance hoping to bring some relief to their strife. All funds raised are used to prepare food that's distributed on Eid day to Masajids, Madaris, Prisons & Old Age Homes.
