d m to mama and his friends are on what they call a mission from god to. Those who give their wealth by night and by day in secret and in public will have their reward with their lord. There is no reason for them to fear or grieve garonne surat to verse 274. That traveled 7000 kilometers all the way from germany to assist orphans in Gama Abdulrahman says his humanitarian mission is primarily about helping all as he calls it disability law helping for the sake of allah. Muslims are traditionally encouraged to help those in distress often by doing good deeds discreetly and unobtrusively. But in the 1980s in the face of disasters and conflicts involving muslim communities in many parts of the world Islamic Charities began to go public with their projects d. Since then theyve distributed many billions of dollars in aid worldwide donations by governments organizations and private individuals to refugee camps in turkey. To protect the civilian population in syria and provide direct aid. Islamic Aid Organizations are now an integral part of relief work worldwide. The n. G. O. S lamech relief was founded in the u. K. In 1984 since then its grown become more professional and is active across europe the french chapter Islamic Relief france or sie founded in 1991 it has an annual operating budget of 46000000 euros and unlike many other such organizations it publishes its Balance Sheets to quell any rumors about jews be a slinks to powerful proponents of islamic fundamentalism and islamist terror this allows the s. I havenot 600 employees to provide assistance in over 30 countries. Whereas in Islamic School in pamlico mali. And. Here time seems to have stood still schools like this were founded in the 14th century when islam spread and its message was taught by muslim nomads. These schools still exist and to this day they remain outside the states control. I had a son is being a bit of a sleepy head this morning but he has to get up at 5 am he prays its a frugal breakfast consisting of tried dates and then brushes his teeth. Of. The. Aisle has son bought is 11 years old his family sent him to this Religious School 3 years ago. But. Now has son goes home just twice a year the rest of the time hes cared for by his quranic teacher whos good reputation extends well beyond the borders of the mali and capital. Other. I was raised this way as were our parents and our parents parents there was a remark i mean we were all brought up this way but i only know. We raised the children. Teach them the koran. We take care of them look after their health their clothing and their behavior but we also give them enough free time so they can relax they will watch it enough but it will open your fault. Koran schools are becoming increasingly popular in mali there are now of the 6000 instructors and roughly 150000 pupils. Ill have a son was sent here because his parents could no longer provide for him and a quranic teacher may not turn any child away i forgot about providing for a child is difficult to get out at 1st i had big financial problems i even had to sell my radio to pay for food in order to i dont know how the local people found out but they asked for help on my behalf and i think if people want their children to learn the koran properly they need to support the koran teachers. Im going to walk out of whatever. The pupils of the quran school known here as the taliban is live on the fringes of mali in society. They come from the slums where they have little to eat and are often mistreated. So. Some of them are forced to beg to survive children have no rights here. In mali half the population live below the poverty line. Is science has been active here since 2003 and mainly focuses on 2 issues often mentioned in the quran access to clean Drinking Water and china. Our protection. Last visit when you intervene in a Quranic School which has functioned for years and years while being excluded from society is not easily met the quranic masters mistrust external partners. We are not subject to a classic framework imposed by the big donors who tell you that for 3 years we will work on this issue and after 3 years going to finance it anymore if 20 years i have goes into a zone it can commit to staying a long time takes time thanks to 2000000 euro annual budget for marley they were able to start a Pilot Project here to better the peoples living conditions. Are you ok bring him up a rope a good heads the project do you remember the calabash school the one thats having the Building Work down yes can we please return there the school having worked on yes thats it. Our old bugger has been doing aid work for 7 years for the last 3 shes lived in bamako. The young frenchwoman isnt muslim yet shes allowed to enter the koran school thats because the organization she works for the s. I. If is respected here. Banned because she respects muslim customs. Why do you put on a headscarf were going to Quranic School where there are chronic masters. Inside the schools the women are veiled. So its simply out of respect for the place were going and for the people were seeing. Here its a personal initiative and. Thats the really low road wants to inspect the renovation work at the school where our her son studies and where his quran master diablo teaches. Will follow you. So thats the cesspit its the cesspit for the latrines. Finally the taliban is the peoples of the Quranic School and getting toilets Running Water and a roof over their heads thats not in danger of collapsing. Ill go do a double swinging door to pass through easier easily. Ok ok so you put the sheet metal here its coming along. The classrooms are located above the sleeping area the construction work is a confidence Building Measure it took a year for the teachers to accept assayas involvement look a lot of n. G. O. S have come here made contact with people tried to register the children at the schools ago made promises and then never came back and as a result its true that when we arrived we had a lot of work to do and had to get results very quickly saying we are doing what we promised. In just one month this will all look as good as new yet prayers wont be held in our her sons school the s i f doesnt commit proselytising because the in geo adheres to the code of conduct of the International Red cross here the main goal is child protection. While out her son and his 210 schoolmates learn to read and write in french i will get them. American to do that as we do solve a very deceptive lecture. Although bambara is more widely spoken french is mollys official language so its essential for these childrens futures that they learn it its a new School Subject introduced by sie if the teacher tells the children about the sounds produced by certain letters lineal descent let. Silly. Said i thought so for the puzzle that is silly. And it is silly. There for a little but not. Well you know for body or do. What i say if it doesnt got to do you have. A circumcision the quran teacher and his colleagues have asked for these french courses so their pupils will later have a better chance of finding work hes learning russian along with them. Lead rough dont. Let jurich the book says that its not always easy because its a place to learn the quran so initially it wasnt suitable for that so. Sometimes there was a reluctance on the part of the pupils parents who said no im bringing my child here just so that he can learn the crime happens after talking to the parents and explaining the reason behind it which is to increase the employee ability of the youngsters and give them access to basic rights theyre here which is in danger without knowing french. Its access to rights understanding them and your duties just wales has to become a responsible citizen you have to learn this language its necessary to protect yourself and to integrate in society. Today so by helping your pupils to a Brighter Future is a way of tackling the poverty that often provides a breeding ground for all true radical movements in a country in which armed Islamist Groups spread terror and violence Quranic Schools remain highly controversial most western Aid Organizations refuse to have anything to do with them so if i have some aid work in mali its a delicate balancing act one thats inspired by islam but transcends religious boundaries yet 6. Ronnie brown is a former president of medicine soft want here. On the cover weve worked with them for years just like with other religious organizations forward. Even when the communication with these organizations wasnt always easy. Good for in general is always a bit of mistrust between secular and religious organizations of this is not just islamic ones whether it be deal to cultural differences or simply because many people are mistrustful of religious ideology. Super bowl during the shows you have to deal with issues. For a long time they had to fight for recognition but many religious organizations are now respected as Aid Organizations our story continues in paris france on this day its icy cold in the french capital another place where is active. And the coffee that like you know youve got a. College niger and 3 fellow volunteers donate their time and all of that and. Every other week for the last 2 years that theyve spent their free hours helping the homeless or gas or the ice wash with the edge of a spring will. They dont go so time of departure a quarter to a callsign Emergency Social Services have spotted some Homeless People out on the streets the teen sets off. Is that oh yeah shes here shes sleeping. Im ok here tonight no its not ok here yes im 5 not yet and nearly a well acquainted now is 62 and has been living on the street for years. Once you get that. Are you ok in the cold. Where did you sleep yesterday on the bench. It was the tonight its minus 7 degrees celsius in this suburb of paris this thats a cover up your ears the way way way that is not covered yet. We call and see if theres a hotel nearby. Niger is a muslim who helps out of religious conviction but thats not the only reason you have nothing left for women tonight. By sheba whores the poverty in her country nothing for when the norm is theres nothing tonight nothing for tonight thats right. Ive got a 3 star hotel in central paris or a low budget hotel a low budget. And call them it shouldnt be too expensive. You can see that in terms of reception facilities shelter there is a complete shortage unfortunately weve called organizations in vain when they say they have nothing to offer what do you do to try to find an urgent solution amongst ourselves and sometimes its true that amongst the volunteers we organize a kiddie in order to offer a night to somewhere but shes not aware of the temperature outside. Tonight will nearly will sleep in a warm bed so that the a. S. I. F. Offers help to everyone regardless of religion also szell status. That dark colored parka opposite the square. This is it right yes. Do you need anything. Yet people are worried about you and have called 115. The phone number of the car he doesnt want to leave his camp with the help of volunteers as i have cares for more than 1300 Homeless People in the paris metropolitan area every winter. You have everything you need to cover yourself up its going to be cold tonight. Now joe has been a lawyer for the last 15 years and a volunteer since her youth but she donates more than her time to those in need whats unique to islamic id often as ations is the way theyre financed through theres a cot this account is a mandatory yearly contribution and one of the 5 pillars of islam the amount to be paid can be calculated on the website of most islamic idleness ations if you have several Bank Accounts you take the total of your mortgage your savings account and your current a counsellor who also everything you have Life Insurance pension etc then you take the total and multiply it by 2. 5 percent today as part of the cat i pay around 5000. 00 euros per year. This is a car that is meant to help the needy in her local area her country or anywhere in the world its a religious judy for all practicing muslims. To do simple its just as important as praying for ramadan the workers never do so it doesnt make sense not to do that as we are all indebted to the cat in one way or another that is occurring because no matter what your revenue from the moment you have a minimum amount of money in your bank account you must pay back a particle with us and betty. That means that the yearly donations to as i have are on average 2 and a half times as high as those to the french red cross few realize that even though some 25000000 muslims live in europe says theologian tarik and in mom in bordeaux. The door is a paradox is our religion one stone nation is to be discreet visible but not ostentatious. The more discreet the donation the more its worth in gods eyes because it results from modesty. However i think it should be shown openly we should burn our lies the good set an example and move away from this image of islam that only demands laws. Did the what. It. Was. Not everyone is discreet about how they help others in alice name i mean. Do raman kaiser is german and before he converted to islam was known as jol for him charity is his lifes work and gods command. Abdurahman also helps the homeless in disorder off though his assistance differs slightly to that offered by established n. G. O. S like sie his organization and international is relatively new he found edition 2012 but its already established a network of donors whom he keeps well informed about its activities. Start by. Going in and we always take a camera team with us because thats our motto our Star International slogan is see where your donation goes we show donors precisely what happens with their money on the one hand its proof of how the donations are used and on the other hand it provides motivation to continue. But thats what the. Band saw has. There are 120000 followers on facebook and its also active on you tube and instagram and its strengths are its transparency and Quick Reaction times everything happens over social media. 2 to 3 hours a day answering whats out messages thats a lot of work and i have 2 cell phones and calls on top of that 1st and then Facebook Instagram twitter everywhere. Lots of people ask us questions. And abdurahman always answers hes boyd by his faith what he is and international always and everywhere the poorest of the shoes are all new brand name models abdulrahman says its a way of restoring Homeless Peoples dignity. Thats why there are no boy. You know. His projects are unusual and he doesnt seek the cooperation of other social services. And Site International provides aid irrespective of religion but also without having fully assess the communitys needs. Of. The people in the end salo go on this bag a faceless. In islam the stars serve it restarts want islam its normal that you dont depict living beings or ones that have a soul want to do so for example hello kitty or the teletubbies dont really exist so you can depict them. As a kid to a person or an animal is real so there are only shown without a face to get this into without are just. This little detail a sign of a fundamentalist interpretation of islam is openly on display in disorder in a city. Of war. It. Is not. As if the innocent option but. Also their survival i dont want to feel this way so much also of the opposite because of this episode god saw abdulrahman imposes strict rules which he politely mixes with behavioral codes from the modern world faith without scruples that applies to him as well as his team of 50 volunteers into sort all. They had Digital Natives even those who were fully valves are in chuen with the times. A dozen volunteers take care of the videos that are posted on you tube facebook and twitter using the latest technology and equipment. Really try youll find theres no. Means. There is no this. Is a this is noise. This is the latest somalia documentary weve played it into the machine. As you should see if you like the scenes if its too much or if i should take something else. That she does love us or would think the song is good in any case like this one as i like it to be emotional thats Michael Jackson isnt it. Because its that. This. Is nothing new song about peace accompanies an h. D. Video edited like a video clip or in a had. Thats from is the show for me thats the best scene of all. Comes and i tickle him. Distance call that. Fabulous is a really emotional this is something this film was made by a professional whod been headhunted from a major broadcaster. And then. Just leave that bit in. Yet look so candid so authentic and this authenticity is meant to touch the hearts of young muslims. This. Just so you want to superimpose the text the whole settlement lives when we help dunces it to life and it does you. Yeah the whole settlement laughs when we help. Us and where a tickle him in the corner we dont just how we touch hearts of people. Is that its all about image even if his fundamentalism forbids the depiction of living beings when it comes to advertising its essential it was shallow. If this here you know what to do please finish it you have one day ok. Through pragmatism efficiency and control as well as social Media Marketing and saw is able to collect monetary and material donations. The organization primarily helps those who are most at risk muslims in war zones in dusseldorf 6 containers of packed with goods distant for a single country. That get other stuff this is all going to syria. Its all medication winter boots winter jackets baby formula Electric Hospital beds wheelchairs. Canes and medical devices for hospitals. E. K. G. Machines thats an ultrasound machine for births are so good. And solves because mission is in syria close to 250 fallen tears help to operate hospitals 5 schools and an orphanage. The city wants which a lot of this has just arrived for interim storage after everythings been sorted itll go by truck to antwerp and from antwerp to mayor seen in turkey they go then from there seen to the Syrian Border and then will come and take delivery at the border with them if they like others the goods all come from germany so its really ok theyre mostly purchased with money donated by muslims but some are also donated by hospital the very same day these 40 tons of medical equipment including a cent on their way regardless of the dangers involved and the jihadists they may encounter and some helps. Not everyone approves of this assistance in early 2017 and so hit the headlines when rising bundesliga star and his spin her tierra transferred his account to the Aid Organization even accompanied abdurahman on his travels until his soccer Club Darmstadt 98 dropped him. German authorities assert that international is tightly interwoven with the Salafist Movement the office for the protection of the constitution suspects and selfsupporting groups close to al qaeda in syria and most recently of supporting her mouse in the gaza strip as sponsors offices have been searched and computers and papers seized but German Authorities have found it hard to draw a line between militant islam and supporting terrorism so abdul rahman takes advantage of this ambiguity he mixes religious codes with the social ones used by youths on the outskirts of the city where he grew up. Should i show you some photos look do you know that is that is that. Its me. Thats proper when i was 20 years old. Is this that. Its proper to. The us as a child and you know this is us is. Or grandma. There. Bob. Before you married you became the father of 2 abdul rahman was an angry young man at 16 he converted to islam at 20 he performed a rap that cries being against the system. Under the banner. Should i make some sage tea. For those thats proper to posit as you see. Those little papa. Or here. He even achieved a bit of fame as a mouthpiece and he is stepping rebels this. Is obamas book thats proper to. Papa. As a rabbi and the whole song. Says he sang the praises of petty crime at least his anger at injustice. Says he was a rebel who hung around with the wrong crowd. He says becoming more deeply immersed in islam changed everything. Its on this time i dont pray i drink i call i smoke weed but all this time when you call in the city and you have a sticker here america flag i make fun of you and maybe i clap on you. When we was very radical youth in our head because we have so much hate about the situation in palestine on this time we have so much anger but. Then i start to practice islam on this hate to go out of me. About qatar that isnt interested in that but thats good. As for im glad i got me out of that scene a long list of oswald. After 8 months in jail abdulrahman found a new release for his depression fighting for humanity. A spell and i could make a melody for you the publisher you. Call him errol show you. Abdulrahman slide has gone from one extreme to the other. Back in france natur is helping others both privately and professionally but the assistance this Lawyer Office is completely different you. Know here. She is now being admitted to the prestigious paris bar where shes known as metra Natural Beauty solidarity has always played a role in her life her parents came to france from morocco in the 1970 s. A mother raised 7 children her father worked as a laborer. That history. Im very happy today papa says the priest i would never have thought id see my daughter in law as robes. So im very happy. That. Love and modest pride. From you whatever several requests i thought that of it is a question. Of good morning. Good for me not just commitment goes beyond solidarity in the boundaries of islam its part of her calling. Yourself the fundaments when you work in the field of social services because what if you realize that after a while have a whatever the association i work for you face a brick wall once the people you wish to help the socalled find themselves in custody. So that im themselves escorted back to Detention Centers so were told find themselves isolated effect to all of his on the being a lawyer allows you to open doors the doors of the Police Station the doors of the Detention Centers to the doors of the investigating judges and the family and there you really can help people in concrete terms. Not yet agreed to let us film her because of her. This is about more than just islamic humanitarian aid niger and her family stand for millions of other french muslims who are tired of islamic being equated with islamist. Terrorism. And. Everything that comes from the muslim world is viewed in a negative light just everything that comes from the middle east from islam is by nature suspect. Its the logic of identity whats foreign is generally always suspicious of. It gets eclipsed the shock when differing perceptions and ignorance makes a show of these in your. View book artist but islam is also a religion of countries which were colonized and subject a driving force in the fight against the colonizers. Sort of abuse of the little to grow in your own skin brought us thats why for some the idea that islam is hostile to the west still persists so. This is. The dilemma whether we reticent or go on the offensive we always suspect. Its a paradox. If were too discreet we must have something to hide and if were hiding something we must be up to no good which isnt true yet if we try to get our message across with pushy boastful and provocative. In just sort of abdulrahman uses provocation to generate sales. So i can. Im sorry international has taken inspiration from britains charity shops. Though in shop they sell us up brand name clothing. The pieces and made by Syrian Refugees and the proceeds are distributed to other migrants. Thats what follows the issue 1st this is produced by Syrian Refugees in turkey it provides work for Syrian Refugees in turkey but we also have things made by Syrian Refugees in germany 1st tested we dont want to neglect our homeland. And this is what Syrian Refugees in germany produce traditional commies. Abdulrahman says the shop is completely islamic kuranda distributed here for free and this Childrens Book is titled all children a muslim zz. The message is clear here in the urban outskirts things revolve as much round clothes as around politics. Abdurahman pays no heed to the notion that humanitarian organizations should be neutral for him whats important is that he delivers. A message just wanted our message is always against oppression and that people should be free. And one major personalities like malcolm x. Or heir to one transport that it possible to then we advertise it on a jacket or a t. Shirt or something of. Us were also people who tackle oppression just as boldly topical for thats our message and starts us off informs our message ref aliar she is a sociologist and philosopher. What he did it shows. The reality is that muslim humanitarian work furnishes a response. You might call it an anti jihadist adventure an antiterrorist radicality. That means staging your life as a kind of positive muslim hero whos going to change the world. He she can be radical and absolutely muslim thats why you can be a bit frightened by the discourse thats a bit fundamentalist but at the same time its absolutely antiterrorist. As Anti Terrorist as it wants to be radical because it aims to get to the roots of islam Muslim Charity included this is the mashup did many delhi look. In ghana faith is part of the countrys National Identity 98 percent of the population practice a religion 3 quarters of them are christians evangelical organizations are booming especially in the capital acra. Posters plastered around the city advertise the services of popular preaches. Abdul rahman is also continuing his religious mission here on the outskirts of akram his Aid Organization has built a small a mosque the land was donated by a v. I. P. Here who in all modesty calls himself the king. You know we have 70 percent muslim in this community. We do have single mothers did. In the community. The single was just. What stresses of the ages are more than cold more than a 1000 years for however we have to have to travel from here to my dinner from here to a shelter for. Sure this is why i decided. To use disability. For the worst you do. Even. If all the jews all would come down and lose the all police. Action out of here. So i am sorry building a mosque is one way to compete with the evangelical expansion drive. Its a powerful symbol of the rights of muslims. Oh. The project cost 11000. 00 euros but raising the funds proved no problem. Someone tell us the situation then we explained the situation to the muslims in germany they. Dont donate for the mosque even for muslim there is. This law that your reward for building a mosque is to have a palace the highest reward according to the cross is code of conduct that does not qualify as humanitarian aid but abdul rahman remains undeterred. I do see if you know if you want to see this. Or. Not its a goal of and you old to get everything what. Tried or what folk need. And for us as religious people were helping religion too because we believe that the religion is an important part of your heart if you dont. Have this then. Its easier to go the wrong way. Drammen says he plays with an open hand and publicizes everything he does. Not just on the other hand has opted for discretion. Their ideas of what i eat in our lives name me a very different. And allen has many other helpers some are more radical and place greater emphasis on their islamic identity others are less strict analysts proselytizing. But no matter how different they are and what have a past so i may take muslims have an increasingly important place in International Relief efforts. Ready ready ready to some foreigners will serve as organisers for the faith based organizations are essential. They provide most of the aid that the syrians under bombardment and under the conditions we all know about so desperately need this fulfills i dont know why i would condemn that one has its religions or its Community Actions its worthy of respect but for me its not primarily humanitarian or this bug and. Enter the conflict zone. After the murder of the journalist cant make our legalese here all to itself has become a byword for violence and corruption my guess this week is the countrys foreign minister at every spot told us he says he wants to improve mortars tarnished image but how many more secrets have to come out before that will be possible. Conflicts. In 30 minutes d. W. Says if they dont need to see couple of they available for over thats in home the force and flew the followed closely minute economy with the bottom of the belly that the nasa dragons in this one. As you call it the hard truth. Is the human race destroying itself. We are ruining the basic elements of our existence were using too much water and were colluding the earth is life.
