In the wake of the catastrophic 7.8 earthquake and resulting aftershocks that have claimed thousands of lives in Türkiye, Syria and the surrounding region, ICNA Sisters would like to extend our deepest condolences to those impacted by this tragedy. ICNA Sisters grieves the loss of life, and we stand in solidarity alongside our sisters and brothers in the affected region.
As the people of Türkiye and Syria assess the scale of the devastation, we make dua’a that Allah (SWT) accept those who have died as martyrs and grant them the highest level of Jannah. We pray that Allah (SWT) grant healing and ease to the survivors, and we pray that those still trapped under the debris and rubble are rescued safely.
Whenever any part of our community is tested by calamity, it is our duty as an Ummah to answer the calls for help selflessly and swiftly. This earthquake is the deadliest ever to hit Türkiye, and one of the strongest to hit anywhere in the world. For the war-torn Syria, this is yet another compounding tragedy for the people there. There will be a long road to recovery ahead for those affected, and we call upon our community here and abroad to respond promptly by donating, providing aid, and continuing to keep our brothers and sisters in your dua’as.
