" I decided to start Halal House after facing some adversities in my own life. People need the help of others to overcome the difficulties of this life. Allah (swt) put us all here to help each other. God (Allah) sent me the help I needed to overcome my difficulties. That help came in the form of people. This organization is committed to helping people overcome the adversities of life."
"Did He not find you an orphan and gave you a refuge? And He found you unaware and guided you? And He found you poor and made you rich? Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression and repulse not the beggar. And proclaim the Grace of your Lord."
— Qur'an Surah 93 Ayah 6-11
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."
— Bible (Proverbs 31:8-9)
