The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “If someone gives as charity as little as a single date from honest earnings—and God accepts only honest earnings—God takes it in His Right Hand, then makes it grow for the benefit of the charity-giver, just as one of you raises his foal, until it becomes as big as a mountain.” [Bukhari]

Pakistan Day Mela in Toronto

By Sarwat Rashid-Perrin
A volunteer HDF-canada

Just days before the Mela, Ontario was hit with a blackout that threatened to dampen things. However on the 17th, the sun shone bright and clear and all the traffic lights along the way to the Markham Fair Grounds smiled at us.

The Mela is always like being swirled to Pakistan on a magic carpet for a day. The multi-colored stalls, the enticing smells of food in the air, the commotion and music, all makes you nostalgic.

The Event was graced by a lot of dignitaries, including Pakistan Consulate General, Ghalib Iqbal, the Defence Minister, John McCallum,and the Markham mayor, W. Don Cousens.

We also had entertainers from Pakistan for the event, including Haroon,Tafu, Farooq and the film actress Roop.

The HDF booth was visited by many families and visitors to Toronto. It was glorious to see young children reaching out for their flags or pins, and realizing they were lucky enough to have two great countries to love-Pakistan and Canada."
