Muslims Climb Highest Mount in UK for Charity

CAIRO – A group of British Muslims have climbed the country’s highest mountain to raise funds for the help of people affected by the Syrian conflict.

“We are really grateful to everyone who took part, because we know the money raised will make a big difference to the lives of so many,” Muqaddus Khan, Fundraising Manager in the North of England, said in a statement sent to OnIslam.net.

Around 40 volunteers from the Bradford-based Human Relief Foundation, climbed Ben Nevis on 9 August in aid of projects to help those who have been affected by the Syrian conflict – which includes refugees and widows.

The fundraisers, who came from across the UK including Bradford, Manchester, Birmingham and London, stayed the night in Scotland and began the descent in the early hours of the next day.

The group, made up volunteers and Human Relief Foundation staff, conquered the mountain by reaching the summit and fought against heavy winds and rain.

“The climb was just as tough this year but our brave team of fundraisers carried on towards the summit,” Khan added.

Ben Nevis is 4,408 feet high. Weather conditions become very difficult and the mountain is very steep. Scaling the mountain can even be a challenge to the most experienced climbers.

Adding to volunteers joy, the event succeeded in raising more than £5,000.

Proceeds will go towards the Human Relief Foundation, which is based in Bradford and is a registered International Non-Governmental Organization.

Human Relief Foundation was launched in 1991 and seeks to promote sustainable economic and social development, supporting local communities to build a better life and find their own solutions to global problems.

Britain is home to a Muslim community of nearly 2.7 million.

According to Islamic Shari`ah, a capable Muslim pays 2.5 percent mandatory payment and spend it to help the poor and the needy.

In July 2013, a survey by JustGiving charity website has found that Muslims top charity givers in the UK, compared with other faiths.
