Our mission is to serve Allah and His creation with love, compassion, justice, and generosity. In this article, I want to share with you how we arrange the values of our Islamic charity based on Asma ul Husna, the 99 beautiful names of Allah.
What is Asma ul Husna?
Asma ul Husna is a term that refers to the 99 beautiful names of Allah, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. These names are not just arbitrary titles, but they reflect the attributes and qualities of Allah that He has revealed to His creation through His words and actions. By learning and understanding these names, we can get to know Allah better and worship Him in the best way possible.
How do we arrange our values based on Asma ul Husna?
As a Muslim charity organization, we strive to follow the example of Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him) in everything we do. We believe that by aligning our values with Asma ul Husna, we can achieve excellence in our work and please Allah with our deeds. Some of the values that we prioritize based on Asma ul Husna are:
- Justice: We value justice because Allah is Al-‘Adl, The Utterly Just. He does not wrong anyone or anything in His creation. He commands us to be just and fair in our dealings with others, especially with those who are oppressed and needy. He says in the Quran:
O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah , even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both. So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just. And if you distort [your testimony] or refuse [to give it], then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted. (Quran 4:135)
Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct and giving to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded. (Quran 16:90)
Therefore, we seek to uphold justice in our charity work by being transparent, accountable, and fair in our operations. We do not discriminate or favor anyone based on their race, gender, nationality, or religion. We treat everyone with dignity and respect.
- Trustworthiness: We value trustworthiness because Allah is Al-Haqq, The Truth. He is the source of all truth and He never breaks His promises. He says in the Quran:
And who is more truthful than Allah in statement? (Quran 4:87)
Indeed, those who have believed then disbelieved, then believed then disbelieved then increased in disbelief – never will Allah forgive them nor will He guide them to a way. Give tidings to the hypocrites that there is for them a painful punishment – Those who take disbelievers as allies instead of believers . Do they seek with them honor [through power]? But indeed honor belongs to Allah entirely . (Quran 4:137-139)
Therefore, we seek to be trustworthy in our charity work by being honest, reliable, and faithful in our words and actions. We do not lie or cheat or betray anyone’s trust. We fulfill our commitments and obligations.
- Forgiveness: We value forgiveness because Allah is Al-Ghaffar, The All- and Oft-Forgiving. He is the most merciful and compassionate, and He forgives all sins except shirk (associating partners with Him). He says in the Quran:
Say, “O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.” (Quran 39:53)
And whoever does a wrong or wrongs himself but then seeks forgiveness of Allah will find Allah Forgiving and Merciful. (Quran 4:110)
Therefore, we seek to be forgiving in our charity work by being tolerant, patient, and kind to others. We do not hold grudges or seek revenge. We pardon and overlook the faults and mistakes of others.
These are just some of the values that we base on Asma ul Husna. There are many more values that we can learn from the names of Allah, such as generosity, gratitude, wisdom, humility, etc. By applying these values in our charity work, we hope to attain the pleasure and reward of Allah in this life and the next.
