Al-Aqsa Charity Causes
Our beloved Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
There is no day on which the people wake up but two angels come down and say, ‘O Allaah, give in compensation to the one who spends (in charity),’ and the other says, ‘O Allaah, destroy the one who withholds.’
Narrated by al-BukhaariYou shall not attain righteousness until you spend out of what you love (in the way of Allah). Allah knows whatever you spend. (3:92)
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,
When a person dies, all of his works cease, except three; an ongoing charity he gives, beneficial knowledge he imparts, or a righteous offspring who prays for him or her.” (Muslim)
