Giving Is Worship β
A Path to Blessings
OVERVIEW
In Islam, giving is not just charity β it is worship. Allah reminds us in the Qurβan:
βThe example of those who spend their wealth in the Way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. Allah multiplies His reward for whom He wills.β (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:261)
Your generosity has the power to ease suffering, restore dignity, and transform lives β while purifying your wealth and bringing you closer to Allah (SWT).
Why Giving Matters
Millions around the world face poverty, hunger, and displacement every day. By giving, you:
- Fulfill your religious duty and purify your wealth.
- Protect the dignity of those who cannot provide for themselves.
- Strengthen the Ummah by caring for widows, orphans, refugees, and the needy.
- Gain barakah (blessing) in your own life, wealth, and family.
Your support allows HHRD to serve orphans, educate children, empower widows, provide clean water, build shelters, and deliver emergency relief worldwide.
