Free buttermilk from Qatari household
For a number of years people of different nationalities have been collecting buttermilk in large quantities free from the house of a rich Qatari near the Ramada traffic lights.
Especially during Ramadan, people descend in larger numbers on the parking lot outside the Qatari’s home to take buttermilk stored in a huge tank that flows through taps.
Everyday there are long queues of people vying for a fill of buttermilk, many, carrying jerry cans and big empty bottles, particularly in the morning hours.
People usually begin crowding the place by 7am when the tank is filled, with buttermilk stock lasting mostly until 9am.
“If you go there after 9am, chances are you might not get enough buttermilk,” an Indian who has been frequenting the place told this newspaper.
He said he visited the place usually once a week and carried two large bottles to get his fill. “Many people go there with big jerry cans. There is no restriction on how much one can carry.”
The tank was in the back of the house earlier. It has now been shifted to the front, he said.
“The buttermilk tastes fine with curry leaves and salt. I have become quite used to it.”
There are people who come there regularly in cars from far-off places, he said.
“I began visiting the place some three years ago after a friend took me there for the first time.”
In Ramadan, the Qatari family also distributes food in the evening, he added.
May ALLAHA give them Jezzah. (Ameen)
Like this efforts who take initiative , it is great job! but in poor country like Bangladesh when Ramadan begin all prices are rises high everywhere. Government has no control at all. Looking for some rich Qatari people to help or donation to the poor Bangladeshi. Eng. Quader, e-mail: [email protected]/ 8801819923215.
I love it. Why are these sort of things not made public instead of the ongoing 'qatar-bashing' in the west. Well done the generous Qatari spirit.
He is not the only Qatari with a big heart. Almost every morning I see Qatari ladies stopping their Land Cruisers to hand over a few riyals to the poor workers who go about picking up litter from the streets. The act speaks much about their feelings for the poor and their nature of extending a helping hand to the needy. May Allah bless such ladies.
Who ever is doing this act of kindness specially during hot summer, hats off to them, they are blessed by Allah. May many more rich people follow him.
Why would such a noble gesture bother anybody? Is it merely cynicism that has somehow leaked into a few recent posts? Just appreciate it .it is God who knows best.
Such acts of kindness need praise (and not criticism) so that people adopt such principles of helping and sharing in their lives and that can do a world of good to the place we live in.
This is what we call a genuine Qatari philanthropist! i have been here for 3 years now and this have been going on daily. May God continue to bestowed His infinity blessings upon him and his family.
#Deservedrecognition for helping the poor masses!
I'm moved by such a noble deed. The family is and will be blessed by The Almighty.
gracious family....
