"It was the dead of winter at its coldest, and my gas had been shut off. A plea was sent out to assist me in taking care of this matter, which was especially urgent since I had a 4-year old at home. It was by the Mercy of Allah that they were able to assist me. Their donations, along with others, enabled me to restore the heat and continue to provide a safe and warm environment for my family. The Maun Fund has never turned anyone away. They have proven (in my opinion) to be a beautiful asset to our community by providing sadaqah for the sake of Allah ‘Azza wa Jaal. Everyone is given priority and given aid in the form of du’aas and available finances. May Allah grant them Al-Firdouse for their work and accept from them their Ibaadah. May He make it easy for them on Yawmul Qiyaama (Day of Judgment) as they made it easy for many (aameen). I would be one of many who would be sad, if it had to close."

There is this brother, let's call him Abdullah, who lent $240 to a needy brother and when the brother wanted to return the money, Abdullah told him, "It's okay, and if you insist I won't talk to you again." Then years later, Abdullah was in need and a brother lent him more than 10 thousands USD. Abdullah kept paying in installment until the brother wanted to leave the country so asked him what's the outstanding balance, Abdullah said it's $2400, and he can pay it all at once. The brother replied, "It's okay, and if you insist I won't talk to you again." (Illinois, USA)

“Alhamdolilah I’m a student and I’m broke, but I still managed to donate . Many times we hesitate to donate even a couple of bucks, but don’t mind getting our twice-a-day-$3 fix at Starbucks.” -mt

Was walking down a street when I saw a group of homeless people. I paused for a while, made dua for Allah to bless them and give thems strength. Amin. A deed of sadaqah, need not always be monetary or materialistic in nature, even the small things count.

"MashaAllah, Baabun Nasr’s kindness towards non-Muslims has led several people to take their shahaadah (Allahu Akbar!). The da’waah they provide, by being pious and humble Muslims, is a great source of attraction for non-Muslims. This organization has really uplifted the community in more ways than one. I continually pray that Allah blesses this organization with much good. I pray that He enables Baabun Nasr to run smoothly so that future generations will be able to witness what I’ve witnessed and benefit the way I’ve benefited. "

I had some money in my bank account, I was hoping to purchase some books for myself but I also felt like giving in charity (sadaqah jariyah). There was a particular Dawah cause I was a part of, I wanted to donate something to them. At that moment I was more eager to purchase books for myself, however I convinced myself, fighting the greed that was in my chest, to give to the cause and told myself that insha'Allah I will see the rewards with Allah. I donated, and soon after I ended up with more money than I had before to purchase books! Allah is Great! The reward of the good-doers is never lost.

The Response of Umm Aminah after reading this page: http://halfdate.com/2010/01/12/umm-aminah-drive/ Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Al Hamdulilah in all circumstances, as I go through this page I can barely see the screen because my eyes are filled with tears. May Allah reward the believers who when they are called upon to assist me with making preparations to receive my sweet darling children back, respond without hesitation or proclamation. Subhannah Allah! In Surah Al Baqarah, Ayat 177 Allah says; "It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces towards the East or West; but it is righteousness to believe in Allah and the Last Day and the Angels and the Books and the Messengers; To spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for the orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask and for the ransom of slaves; To be steadfast in prayer and give Zakat; To fulfill the contracts which ye have made and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity and throughout all periods of panic; Such are the People of Truth, the God-fearing."
