In the city of San Diego, United States, a fundraising campaign launched to support the family of a mosque security guard who lost his life has raised more than $1.4 million within just a few hours. According to reports, the campaign, organized under the supervision of the Islamic Center of San Diego, will use the funds to support the family of the late Amin Abdullah, as well as other affected families.
Organizers stated that Amin Abdullah fulfilled his duty with courage and made the ultimate sacrifice, but he left behind his widow and eight innocent children, whose future has now become uncertain. As the sole provider for his family, his sudden loss has created serious challenges, including covering house rent, children’s education, and daily living expenses. In response, compassionate people from around the world have come together to offer their support.
It has been shared that the purpose of this fundraising campaign is not only to cover Amin Abdullah’s funeral and burial expenses, but also to help with the family’s immediate needs such as groceries, electricity bills, and rent. Additionally, the campaign aims to ensure the continuation of his children’s education and provide long-term financial stability for the family, helping them navigate this difficult period.
The organizers also emphasized that supporting Amin Abdullah’s family does not require belonging to any particular religion or faith—being human is enough. They said that a man who gave his life to protect other people’s children, leaving his own eight children behind, deserves the assurance that his family will never be left alone. Amin Abdullah’s sacrifice serves as a reminder that while people may leave this world physically, those who live for others never truly die—they continue to live on in the hearts of people.
