Asalamu Alaikum dear brothers and sisters,
The Muslim Cemetery of the Greater Fayetteville Area is in desperate need of a new compact backhoe or mini excavator!
We are currently digging the graves by shovel which is extremely difficult. One reason being due to a limit on brothers available to dig the graves.
The old backhoe was unreliable due to mechanical complications and faults. Though much effort was put into keeping our old backhoe operational, it became more of an issue. But alhamdulilah for the times when it did help us!
We are interested in acquiring a new (used) backhoe/ or mini excavator of a much smaller size. One that can dig a minimum of 6-8 feet (1.8-2 meters).
So far our research has shown that a good and reliable used machine can cost anywhere between $7,000-$14,000.
Below are some examples of what would suite the cemeteries needs inshAllah.
324 Bobcat Compact Excavator
JCB 8032 EXCAVATOR
TERRAMITE T5C
Do contact us QUICKLY if you are aware of something reliable and inexpensive being sold or given away that would suite the needs of this Muslim cemetery. Or if you are someone you know would like to donate one.
OR make a donation to the cemetery and include a note stating what you would prefer your money to go towards.
We call on Allah first- and then you all our dear brothers and sisters- to aid us. For imagine one day you may need to be buried here.
"Indeed, Allah [alone] has knowledge of the Hour and sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted." [31:34]
