Dear in Islam, I am Hajia Mariam Hassan from Sudan . I am married to late Dr. Abdulhara Hassan of blessed memory who is a Cocoa Merchant and an oil explorer in Cote d'Ivoire for many years before he died in the year 2003. we were married for twenty five years without a child. before his sudden death we were both devoted Muslims. since his death I too have been battling with both cancer and fibroid problems. when my late husband was alive he deposited $5.6M (Five million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars) with a finance firm here in Cote d' Ivoire . Recently, my doctor told me that I have only six months to live due to cancer problem. though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a devoted Muslim individual or a Muslim organization that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want an individual or a Muslim organization to use this money in all sincerity to fund mosques, orphanages, widows, and also propagating the word of Allah and to ensure that the society upholds the views and belief of the holy quran. Our holy quran emphasizes so much on Allah’s benevolence and this has encourage me to take the bold step. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are very bad, in fact am suspecting them to be the one that killed my husband so that they will inherit all his wealth. Meanwhile they have possessed some of my husband properties but this is unknown to them that is why am searching for real brother or sister in Islam to assist in using this fund for the said purpose. And I don't want a situation whereby this money will be used in an unholy manner. Hence the reasons for this bold decision. I know that after my death I will be with Allah the most beneficent and the most merciful. With Allah all things are possible. as soon as I receive your reply I shall inform you our next step and your role in this matter. I want you and the Muslim community where you reside to always pray for me. You will be entitled to 10% of the total amount for your time and kind assistance. Thanks and Allah be with you. Hajia Maraim Hassan
