Philanthropy and Charitable giving in Islam

“Philanthropy and charitable giving hold a very central place in the teachings of the Holy Quran, the writings of Islamic thinkers, and the history of Muslims in all parts and cultures of the Islamic World, including here on the sub-continent. Islam’s clear and explicit injunction is to share resources beyond one’s reasonable commitments, and to care for those in need.”

  1. I would like to share my passionate commitment to Unity and Peace making efforts through “Sounds of Faith” Please visit my website: http://www.harranfoundation.org
    A six minute video will exemplify the premise and its promise. Human beings have an innate desire to connect with GOD/DIVINE and thru the expressions of their own traditions an attempt is being made to connect , worship and praise……. in doing so they are connecting with their own tradition/community and with the “others”

    Peace making is around the corner…. Please help spread the word and connect us to funding-support sources……. hearing from you would be an honor and an opportunity…Kindly contact me:
