Good deed of the day: Donate your old Islamic books and university books

A Month of Good Deeds

By time, Verily Man is in loss. Except such as have Faith, and do good deeds, and (join together) in the mutual enjoining of Truth, and of Patience and Constancy. (Sura Al Asr 103:1-3)

One of the seven pillars of Islam is Zakat, an act of financial charity, which is obligatory for those who have excess wealth. However, giving Zakat is not the only way to bless those around you during the Holy Month, and here we highlight other charitable acts that can be performed in the name of Allah and as a blessing on both the giver and the recipient.

How many Islamic books do we have around the house that we have read and never looked at again? After the semester ends, how many expensive text books are put on a shelf and forgotten? Share your resources of knowledge with a student in need, a new or young
Muslim, or as a contribution to a small, local masjid or library.
