Housing Outreach for Muslim Sisters
Housing Outreach for Muslim Sisters, otherwise known as
H.O.M.S. was founded in May 1, 1999 by a group of sisters in Texas who
were concerned about the welfare of their fellow Muslimahs and their
children in the United States.
Upon witnessing situation after situation, and dealing with sisters that
had nowhere to go (facing abuse and/or homelessness); this group of active
sisters decided to do as the Prophet (saws) has said, "If
anyone of you sees something objectionable, he should change it with his
hand..." (Muslim)
The H.O.M.S. facility was opened, and sisters from across the United
States began contacting the H.O.M.S. staff for help.
We make dua that Allah SWT help us in making H.O.M.S. a permanent
and successful facility and resource for the Muslim women/children in the
United States.
We have an epidemic in the United States
which is affecting this Muslim Ummah, specifically women and children. It
is the obligation and duty of the Muslims in the United States to take
care of our sisters and young children. If we continue to stand by
and turn our sisters and children out on the streets we will be held
responsible by Allah (SWT). We will have to answer why....why have we
turned our sisters and children away who proclaim La illah ill Allah?
We turn them into the streets at the mercy of the non-Muslims. Almost
every homeless shelter in the United States are run by Christians. These
shelters house child molesters, criminals, drug addicts and alcohol
abusers. These shelters are very dangerous places for adult men, let alone
women and children. Many of our American sisters who convert to
Islam, are are disowned by their families and have no one to turn to,
other sisters are brought to the United States after marriage, then
abandoned by their husbands and do not even speak the English language.
Many of these sisters have small children...even newborn infants. SubhanAllah,
it is your duty as a Muslim to protect your sisters in the deen and
protect their helpless children. You will be rewarded.
