As the harshest hurricane in more than 50 years bears down on Ireland, at least three people have died, hundreds of thousands are without power, schools have been closed, and emergency personnel have been dispatched to especially dangerous areas.

Hurricane Ophelia has put the small island nation, which is unaccustomed to hurricanes of any kind, on edge. But despite extensive efforts at preparation, not everyone has a place to stay and resources to hunker down with.

That’s why the Islamic Cultural Centre of Ireland in Dublin is opening its doors to anyone who needs a place to feel safe and a meal to eat.

“Please stay safe everyone, especially during the times that the storm hits and its aftermath,” the Islamic Centre wrote on Facebook. “Check in on your elderly and vulnerable neighbours, bring in your pets and make sure your bins and any other items that can be blown away are secured or brought in.”

During the storm, the centre will be open 24-hours a day and will be providing hot meals, including soup, to people.

Beds have also been donated for people who want to rest, according to The Independent.

Throughout the country, community centers, private businesses, and good samaritans are opening their doors to people in need during the hurricane, according to Independent Ireland.

The Islamic Centre in Dublin regularly engages in community outreach and promotes interfaith cooperation. For example, the centre helps refugees and participated in the annual Anti-Racism march and earlier in the year. 

There are approximately 63,400 Muslims in Ireland, out of a population of 4.77 million.

This latest act is in line with Islamic culture around the world, which prizes charity and fellowship.

For instance, an Muslim organization in London called Who is Hussain? feeds homeless people every week and when Jewish headstone were vandalized in St. Louis, Missouri, the local Muslim community raised $65,000 to restore them.

Hurricanes rarely make landfall in Ireland, according to The Independent. Situated in the the western part of the Atlantic, Ireland is far from the hurricane origination zone in the Eastern part of the ocean. Most hurricanes lose force after traveling the thousands of miles to Ireland.

Ophelia was different, however, and the storm’s force reflects the unusual nature of this year’s hurricane season, which many scientists argue is driven by warmer ocean temperatures caused by climate change.

In fact, this is the first hurricane season in 124 years during which 10 straight storms reached hurricane strength.  

Other hurricanes this season such as Harvey and Maria have caused far more damage than Ophelia, but this latest storm is further proof that in trying times, people come together and help each other out.

“It’s the minimum that we can do as humanitarians,” Malek Madani, an administrator at the centre told The Independent.
