How do we use Aqiqah?

Sharing Blessings

One of our projects is aqiqah(aqeeqah), which is the Islamic tradition of sacrificing an animal on behalf of the newborn child. We will explain how we use aqiqah for the needy and the poor, and how you can join us in this noble cause. We will also show you how you can donate to support this project and earn Sadaqah Jariyah, which is a continuous charity that benefits you even after your death.

How do we use Aqiqah for the Needy and the Poor?

As you may know, aqiqah is a type of voluntary charity that is recommended but not obligatory in Islam. It is usually done on the seventh day after the child’s birth, but it can also be done later, as long as it is before the child reaches puberty. The animal that is sacrificed for aqiqah should be healthy, mature, and free from any defects. The preferred animals are sheep or goats, and two animals should be sacrificed for a boy and one for a girl.

We aim to use aqiqah as a means of feeding the poor and needy and sharing with them the goodness and generosity of Allah.

We have two ways of using aqiqah for the needy and the poor:

We either cook food for them and distribute hot meals to them in different locations, such as mosques, schools, orphanages, hospitals, refugee camps, or slums.
Or we divide the meat and distribute it to the households under our coverage, who are registered with us as eligible beneficiaries.

In both cases, we ensure that the meat is halal (lawful), fresh, and hygienic. We also ensure that the distribution is fair, transparent, and respectful. We also try to reach out to as many people as possible, especially those who are most in need and most deserving.

How can you join us in this noble cause?

As you can see, our aqiqah project is a great way of fulfilling this sunnah (prophetic tradition) and bringing joy and relief to many people. However, we cannot do this alone. We need your help to support this project and help us perform more aqiqahs for more families.

By joining us in this noble cause, you will not only help us fulfill this sunnah and make many families happy. So don’t miss this opportunity to do good and earn good. Join us now in our aqiqah project and secure your place in Jannah (Paradise) with Allah’s mercy and grace. You can join us by:

Performing your own aqiqah through us. You can choose the country where you want your aqiqah to be done, and we will take care of everything for you.
Donating any amount to our aqiqah fund. You can donate online through our website or contact us for more details.
Spreading the word about our aqiqah project to your family and friends. You can share our website or social media pages with them or tell them about our work.

May Allah accept your contribution and reward you with the best in this life and the next. Ameen.

Hydroponic Farming is a Sadaqah Jariyah Project

One of our projects is hydroponic farming, which is a way of growing plants without soil, using water and nutrients instead. In this article, we will explain the advantages of hydroponic projects and how they can benefit the needy and the environment. We will also show you how you can donate to support this project and earn Sadaqah Jariyah, which is a continuous charity that benefits you even after your death.

What is Hydroponic Farming?
Hydroponic farming is a method of growing plants indoors or outdoors without using any soil. Instead of planting crops in the ground or even in pots filled with soil, hydroponic produce is grown with roots dangling in water. Growers then add nutrients to the water to feed the plants and ensure they have everything they need to thrive. Hydroponic farming can be done in different ways, such as using vertical towers, horizontal pipes, floating rafts, or buckets. Hydroponic plants can also receive artificial or natural light, depending on the location and the type of crop.

What are the Advantages of Hydroponic Farming?
Hydroponic farming has many advantages over conventional farming, both for the growers and the consumers. Some of the most notable benefits are:

Water conservation: Hydroponic systems use up to 90% less water than traditional farming methods, as the water is recycled and reused in a closed loop. This means that hydroponic farming can save a lot of water and reduce the pressure on scarce water resources, especially in arid and drought-prone regions.
Space efficiency: Hydroponic systems can grow more plants in less space than conventional farming methods, as the plants can be stacked vertically or horizontally. This means that hydroponic farming can utilize unused or limited spaces, such as rooftops, balconies, basements, or warehouses. This also means that hydroponic farming can produce more food per unit area than conventional farming methods.
Faster growth and higher yield: Hydroponic systems can grow plants faster and produce higher yields than conventional farming methods, as the plants receive optimal amounts of water, nutrients, and light at all times. This means that hydroponic farming can shorten the growing cycle and increase the harvest frequency of crops, resulting in more food production throughout the year.
Higher quality and safety: Hydroponic systems can grow plants with higher quality and safety than conventional farming methods, as the plants are not exposed to soil-borne diseases, pests, weeds, or chemicals. This means that hydroponic farming can reduce the use of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, which can harm the environment and human health. This also means that hydroponic farming can produce cleaner, fresher, and more nutritious food for consumers.
Climate resilience: Hydroponic systems can grow plants with climate resilience than conventional farming methods, as the plants are not affected by weather fluctuations, natural disasters, or climate change. This means that hydroponic farming can adapt to different environmental conditions and ensure food security for vulnerable communities.

How Can You Donate to Support Hydroponic Farming?
As you can see, hydroponic farming is a great way of growing food for the needy and the environment. However, hydroponic farming requires initial investment and maintenance costs, such as equipment, materials, electricity, water, nutrients, seeds, and labor. That is why we need your generous donation to support this project and help us establish and operate hydroponic farms in different parts of the world.

By donating to our hydroponic project, you will not only help us feed the hungry and protect the planet, but also earn Sadaqah Jariyah for yourself and your loved ones. Sadaqah Jariyah is a continuous charity that keeps giving benefits to the donor even after their death. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), knowledge that is benefited from, or a righteous child who prays for him.” (Muslim)

Hydroponic farming is a perfect example of Sadaqah Jariyah, as it provides ongoing benefits to many people for many years. Every time someone eats from the crops grown by our hydroponic farms, you will get a share of their reward. Every time someone learns from our hydroponic farms, you will get a share of their reward. Every time someone benefits from our hydroponic farms in any way, you will get a share of their reward.

So what are you waiting for? Donate now to our hydroponic project and secure your place in Paradise with Allah’s mercy and grace. You can donate online through our website or contact us for more details.May Allah accept your donation and reward you with the best in this life and the next.

Why should there be Muslim charity?

Charity in Islam – Importance and Benefits

Charity is one of the most noble and virtuous deeds in Islam. It is a sign of faith, compassion, and generosity. Charity is not only a duty, but also a privilege and a blessing for Muslims. Charity can take many forms, such as giving money, food, clothes, or any other useful thing to those in need. Charity can also be done by helping others with one’s time, skills, knowledge, or advice. Charity can even be as simple as smiling, saying a kind word, or removing harm from the way.

Charity has many benefits and rewards for both the giver and the receiver. In this article, we will explore some of the importance and benefits of charity in Islam based on the Quran and Hadith.

Charity is an act of worship

Charity is not just a social service or a humanitarian gesture. It is an act of worship and obedience to Allah. Allah says in the Quran:

“O you who have believed, spend from that which We have provided for you before there comes a Day in which there is no exchange and no friendship and no intercession. And the disbelievers – they are the wrongdoers.” (Quran 2:254)

“Take, [O, Muhammad], from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause them increase, and invoke [Allah’s blessings] upon them. Indeed, your invocations are reassurance for them. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.” (Quran 9:103)

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“Charity is a proof of faith.” (Muslim)

“Every act of goodness is charity.” (Muslim)

Charity purifies the soul and the wealth

Charity is a means of purifying one’s soul from greed, selfishness, and attachment to worldly possessions. It is also a means of purifying one’s wealth from any unlawful or doubtful sources. Allah says in the Quran:

“Take from their wealth a charity to purify them and cleanse them thereby.” (Quran 9:103)

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“Charity extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire.” (Tirmidhi)

“Whoever gives charity equal to a date from good (halal) earnings – for Allah does not accept anything but that which is good – Allah will take it in His right hand and tend it for the one who gave it as any one of you tends his foal, until it becomes like a mountain.” (Bukhari)

Charity increases the blessings and the reward

Charity is a way of showing gratitude to Allah for His favors and blessings. It is also a way of seeking more blessings and reward from Him in this life and the hereafter. Allah says in the Quran:

“The 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. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.” (Quran 2:261)

“Whoever does good – whether male or female – while he is a believer – We will surely cause him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do.” (Quran 16:97)

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“The best charity is that which is given when one is rich.” (Bukhari)

“The most beloved deed to Allah is to make a Muslim happy, or to remove one of his troubles, or to forgive his debt, or to feed his hunger.” (Tabarani)

Charity protects from calamities and hardships

Charity is a shield and a protection from various calamities and hardships that may afflict a person in this life or in the hereafter. It is also a means of attaining Allah’s mercy and forgiveness. Allah says in the Quran:

“And spend [in the way of Allah] from what We have provided you before death approaches one of you and he says, ‘My Lord, if only You would delay me for a brief term so I would give charity and be among the righteous.'” (Quran 63:10)

“And whatever you spend of good – it will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged.” (Quran 2:272)

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“Charity does not decrease wealth.” (Muslim)

“Give charity without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity.” (Tirmidhi)

Charity benefits the giver more than the receiver

Charity is not only beneficial for those who receive it, but also for those who give it. The giver gains more reward, satisfaction, happiness, and peace of mind than the receiver. Charity is also a sign of faith, compassion, and generosity. Allah says in the Quran:

“You will not attain to piety until you spend of that which you love. And whatsoever you spend, Allah is Aware thereof.” (Quran 3:92)

“Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He may multiply it for him many times over? And it is Allah who withholds and grants abundance, and to Him you will be returned.” (Quran 2:245)

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“Indeed, the upper hand (the one who gives) is better than the lower hand (the one who receives).” (Bukhari)

“Verily, the most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to people.” (Tabarani)

Conclusion

Charity is one of the most noble and virtuous deeds in Islam. It is an act of worship, purification, gratitude, blessing, protection, and benefit. Charity can take many forms and can be done by anyone at any time. Charity is a way of expressing our love for Allah and His creation. Charity is a way of making this world a better place for ourselves and others. Charity is a way of preparing for the hereafter and attaining Allah’s pleasure and paradise.

Can Sunni Go to Karbala?

Hello, my dear friend. I am glad you are interested in learning more about the holy city of Karbala and its significance for Muslims. As a content writer for our Islamic charity, I will try to provide you with some useful information and insights on this topic. I hope you will find it beneficial and inspiring.

Karbala is a city in Iraq that is revered by millions of Muslims around the world, especially by the followers of the Shia sect of Islam. It is the site of the martyrdom of Imam Husayn, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who was killed along with his family and companions by the army of the Umayyad caliph Yazid in the year 680 CE. This tragic event, known as the Battle of Karbala, marked a turning point in Islamic history and shaped the identity and beliefs of the Shia Muslims.

The Battle of Karbala was not a mere political conflict, but a struggle between truth and falsehood, justice and oppression, faith and tyranny. Imam Husayn refused to pledge allegiance to Yazid, who was a corrupt and illegitimate ruler, and chose to stand up for his principles and values. He sacrificed his life and the lives of his loved ones for the sake of Islam and humanity. He became a symbol of courage, dignity, resistance, and devotion for all Muslims and oppressed people throughout history.

Every year, during the month of Muharram, Muslims commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Husayn and his companions by mourning, fasting, praying, reciting poetry, and performing rituals. The most prominent ritual is the pilgrimage to Karbala, where millions of pilgrims visit the shrines of Imam Husayn and his brother Abbas, who was also killed in the battle. The pilgrims express their love, loyalty, and grief for the martyrs by walking long distances, chanting slogans, beating their chests, and shedding tears. They also seek blessings, forgiveness, and guidance from Allah through the intercession of Imam Husayn.

The pilgrimage to Karbala is not exclusive to Shia Muslims. Sunni Muslims also respect and honor Imam Husayn as one of the Ahl al-Bayt (the family of the Prophet) and as a righteous leader who fought against injustice. Many Sunni scholars have praised Imam Husayn and condemned Yazid for his crimes. Some Sunni Muslims also participate in the pilgrimage to Karbala or visit other places associated with Imam Husayn, such as his tomb in Cairo or his head in Damascus.

Therefore, there is no reason why Sunni Muslims cannot go to Karbala or join their Shia brothers and sisters in commemorating Imam Husayn. In fact, this can be a great opportunity to foster unity, harmony, and understanding among Muslims of different sects and backgrounds. By visiting Karbala, Sunni Muslims can learn more about the history and teachings of Imam Husayn and appreciate his noble legacy. They can also witness the devotion and spirituality of the Shia Muslims and share their emotions and experiences.

Of course, there may be some challenges or difficulties that Sunni Muslims may face when going to Karbala or taking part in the rituals. They may encounter some differences in beliefs or practices that they are not familiar with or comfortable with. They may also face some security risks or logistical issues due to the political situation or the large crowds. However, these challenges can be overcome with patience, tolerance, respect, and wisdom. The main goal is to honor Imam Husayn and seek Allah’s pleasure.

In conclusion, Karbala is a sacred city for all Muslims who love Imam Husayn and follow his example. Sunni Muslims can go to Karbala if they wish to pay their respects to him and benefit from his blessings. They can also join their Shia brothers and sisters in remembering him and learning from him. This can help them strengthen their faith, increase their knowledge, enhance their brotherhood, and promote peace among Muslims.

I hope this article has answered your question and given you some useful information about Karbala. If you have any comments or feedback, please feel free to share them with me. I would love to hear from you. Thank you for reading this article and may Allah bless you.
