The example of those who spend their wealth in the cause of Allah is that of a grain that sprouts into seven ears, each bearing one hundred grains. And Allah multiplies หนthe reward even moreหบ to whoever He wills. For Allah is All-Bountiful, All-Knowing. (Al-Baqarah: 261)
Compassion, giving, philanthropy โ are weaved in the ethos of the deen of Islam.
