> Dear Islahonline,

> As I write to you today, more than 500 people have already lost their lives in the heavy flooding that hit Mumbai (Bombay), India, this week ... and the death toll is rising. 
>
> This is where five million people, some of the poorest of the poor, live in slum areas in little makeshift huts with dirt floors. For many, what little possessions they had for their daily survival are now destroyed, swept away in the waters. Twelve of our churches were also destroyed, and our Bible college was damaged.

> My dear friend, my heart breaks for these precious people for whom Jesus died, who are cherished in His sight.
>
> Please join us in prayer for no more lives to be lost, and that many will find hope in Jesus through these hardships. Pray as well for our missionaries in the area as they reach out in practical ways with the love of Christ.
>
> Thank you for your prayers. I know the Lord will use them in the lives of countless men, women and children living in the slums of Mumbai.
>
> Yours on behalf of the unreached,

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)

{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)  also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
