In a translation of the Quran Allaah Almighty says ‘Those who spend their wealth by night and day, by stealth and openly, verily their reward is with their Lord, and their shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.’ Quran Surah Baqarah 2:274
I have included many hadith about charity, Zakat being one of the pillars in the religion of Islam, there are many ahadith about the virtues of charity.
Do you know that you cannot decrease your wealth by giving in charity? …..
The Prophet sallAllaahu alayhi wasallam said "Charity does not in any way decrease the wealth and the servant who forgives, Allaah adds to his respect; and the one who shows humility, Allaah elevates him in the estimation (of the people)" -Muslim
We have been blessed more than many and there is great reward for sharing wealth….He sallAllaahu alayhi wasallam said "He who makes a contribution in Allaah's way, will have his reward seven hundred (700) times recorded to his credit.'' -Tirimithi
and
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allaah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allaah! Destroy every miser.' -Bukhari
And he sallAllaahu alayhi wasallam said "Do not shut your money bag; otherwise Allaah too will with-hold His blessings from you. Spend (in Allaah's Cause) as much as you can afford." -Bukhari
Also he sallAllaahu alayhi wasallam said "Save yourself from Hell-fire even by giving half a date-fruit in charity." -Bukhari
I intend to share the donations over a few of their projects and I have included some of the virtues of supporting them below….
Widow support- The Prophet sallAllaahu alayhi wasallam said, "The one who looks after a widow or a poor person is like a Mujahid (warrior) who fights for Allaah's Cause, or like him who performs prayers all the night and fasts all the day." -Bukhari
Orphans – The Prophet sallAllaahu alahyi wasallam said 'I and the person who looks after an orphan and provides for him, will be in Paradise like this,' (putting his index and middle fingers together). -Bukhari
Water Projects - Sa'ad ibn Ubadah RadiAllaahu anhu asked the Prophet sallAllaahu alayhi wasallam, ‘Umm Sa'ad (his mother) has died; what form of Sadaqah (charity) is best? ’ He sallAllaahu alayhi wasallam replied, ‘Water (is best)'. Sa'ad dug a well and said, ‘It is for Umm Sa'ad.’ -Abu Dawud
Masajid construction- the Prophet sallAllaahu alayhi wasallam said ‘Whosoever builds a house (masjid) for the pleasure of Allaah, whether it be small or large, Allaah builds for him a house in Paradise.’ -Tirmidhi
