In the Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
“The Likeness of those who spend their wealth in the Way of Allah is as the likeness of a grain of corn: It grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains. And Allah gives
manifold increase to whomever He wants. And Allah cares for all and He knows all
things.” [AL-BAQARAH, 2:261]
“Whoever builds a Masjid for Allah in this world, Allah will build a house for them in Jannah (Paradise).”
