During the most sacred nights of Ramadan, our teams entered the prayer spaces of Gaza, and handed water and snacks to every woman sitting on the ground, waiting for the salat to begin. This is what showing up looks like.
It was the middle of the night.
Women had gathered in a makeshift prayer space: a tent, a tarpaulin ceiling, carpets on the ground. No proper mosque. No running water. But they came anyway. Because in Gaza, even in the worst of circumstances, people still show up to pray.
Our teams showed up too.
Carrying bags of water and snacks, our volunteers moved through the tent leaning down, hand to hand, person to person, making sure that every woman, every mother, every child holding their mother's hand had something in their hands before the salat began.
But that is exactly what Laylatul Al Qadr looks like when it reaches the ground.
The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever feeds a fasting person will have a reward like theirs."
Imagine the weight of that reward, on the holiest night of the year.
