Inspired by Faith: Fundraising Dinner with Shaykh Yasir Qadhi, Ottawa

In the beautiful yet resilient region of Kashmir, Pakistan, conflict and natural disasters have left countless orphans without shelter, education, or a future. Through this event, we’re raising funds to build a dedicated school for orphans in Kashmir. This state-of-the-art facility will provide not only quality education but also vocational training, counseling, and a safe haven for children aged 5-18.

Partnering with trusted organizations:

Human Appeal Canada: A non-profit organisation working across the globe to strengthen humanity’s fight against poverty, social injustice and natural disaster.

Global Seeds: Fostering sustainable development

We aim to construct a school that will serve 500+ orphans annually, breaking the cycle of poverty and instilling values of resilience and faith.

Imagine a place where these children can learn to read, dream big, and rebuild their lives, one classroom at a time.

Your $40 ticket directly contributes to bricks, books, and brighter tomorrows. All proceeds, after minimal event costs, will go toward this vital project, with full transparency provided via our partner organizations’ impact reports.

Event Highlights:

• Keynote by Shaykh Yasir Qadhi: A heartfelt talk on faith as a force for compassion and community building, drawing from Islamic teachings to inspire us all.

• Plated Dinner: A delicious three-course meal featuring halal, culturally diverse cuisine (vegetarian options available upon request).

• Live Performances: Nasheeds and poetry recitations to uplift the spirit.

• Silent Auction & Raffle: Exclusive items, including signed books by Shaykh Qadhi, artisanal crafts from Pakistan, and gift certificates to local Ottawa businesses, proceeds benefit the school build.

• Networking & Stories: Hear real testimonials from beneficiaries and learn how you can get involved beyond tonight.

This is your opportunity to be part of something divine: turning faith into action. As the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “The best charity is that given in Ramadan,” but let’s extend that spirit year-round. Together, with Allah’s grace, we can build more than a school, we can build futures.
