Asalaamualyakum WaramahatuAllah Wabarkaatuhuu.
After greeting you with the greetings of islam and the of people of paradise (may Allah make you and me from its people) i start of with the statement 'the best of speech is that which is short and consice'
Your Lord the most high says in his book of guidance, the Quran al-kareem "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."
Enough of a merit and motovation to give charity is the previous verse; that the *only* thing the people who have pased away want is rightoues actions and specfically charity in this verse.
The outcome for me and you regarding the prevoius verse is one of two; either we become those included in the ayah pleading to Allah to send us back so we can give in chairty, or we become from those who took heed from this verse and will be pleased when see our rewards on the Day of Judgment.
I am raising @2000 for Masjid As-sunnah Nelson via 100 donaters donating @20 each.
This Masjid and bueatifuel community is one which i have been blessed to be part of, many of you may not know but have actually been teaching Quran there to a very special group of kids; some of the best i have seen in my years of being around islamic madrassahs.
They have honoured me and really welcomed me into their community, a certain parent (May Allah bless you if you are reading this!) brings me home-cooked food every week without fail!
The building they have bought has *so much* potential, it containts a prayer hall for 600 men, 300 for women, a theature, libary, indoor sports hall and much more!
Help us by beind one of the 100 donaters !
May Allah be happy with you meet him Subhaanah.
WasaalamuAlaykum WarahmatuAllah Wabarkaatuhuh.
