Cincinnati is actually the 3rd worst city in America in terms of poverty and in terms of hunger
and everytime i hear that statistic i really wonder "where are the Muslims who live there?"
and Alhamdullilah this is the first real effort in the Muslim community in Cincinnati
to try to fix that, to try to change that and really try to turn the tide
PD, also known as "Project Downtown" is really important to my heart because
other than giving back to the community, I have a good time with friends
So its a social aspect for me
at the same time also helping those who are in need
Project Downtown is really important because it brings more Muslims to what is reality
and it actually opens up other peoples minds
because people in the media show Muslims as bad people
This shows how Muslims can come together and as a community
as one big family help other people
Project Downtown is
extremely important because it raises awareness
to what is going on in our community
what stands out to me is that you come down to OTR and in some places you will see
really nice areas, really nice cars, and you walk down the street and you see extreme poverty
And its just a good experience to help the community
I participate in PD because
it gives us a chance to
put these beautiful ideas of Islam into
real genuine action
it's one thing to have doctrines and theology about compassion
but when you actually do it
it touches your heart
and melts you into a more all-around good person
Im proud
to be working with you guys. Very fun!
