Types of Charity Work

• Charity work in Islam is of great significance.
  As Islam teaches lessons of helping anyone who is
  in need, charity work is an important part of any
  Muslims life.
• It is one of the five pillars of Islam. In the
  Holy Quran, Allah has stated that a person who
  does charity work is welcomed in the heaven and
  will be rewarded for his good deeds even in the
  afterlife.

• Charity work is considered to be a part of Zakat
  or farz or duty a devout Muslim is expected to
  follow in his life.
• The holy Quran emphasizes that Muslim charity is
  the purpose of mankind and should be carried
  towards all creatures created by God, humans as
  well as animals, without any expectation for
  rewards.

Types of Charity Work

• The types of charity work a devout Muslim can
  perform are of various kinds.
• Charity work should be carried as a non ending
  series of good deeds. This is known as sadaqa
  jariya in Islam.
• It is believed that a never ending chain of
  charity work will be rewarded in the afterlife by
  Allah.

Charity through Voluntary Acts

• Voluntary acts such as help in construction work
  for schools, mosques, hospitals, clinics,
  orphanages and wells.
• Voluntary charity work can also be done by
  helping in cleaning and maintaining these places
  for the benefit of others.
• Physically involving oneself in such charity work
  is said to bring him or her closer to each other
  and more importantly, Allah.

Financial Help to the Poor

• There are a lot of people who suffer to make ends
  meet. To extend a helping hand to such people is
  also considered to be good deed of charity.
• Providing financial help to poor and needy
  families is considered to bring the mankind
  closer together. Apart from giving money to the
  needy, help can be given in kind.
• For example, one can help a needy household with
  their basic necessities such as food, clothing
  and shelter.

Sponsorship to the Needy and Deserving Candidates

• A lot of children youth wish to study but are not
  able to get good education or complete their
  education due to lack of funds.
• Sponsoring such children and youth is also a part
  of the charity work a devout Muslim can perform.
• Help can also be extended to youth who are eager
  to work but fail to find an appropriate job.
• Providing employment to such hardworking and
  deserving candidates is also a part of charity.

Charity as a Part of School Education

• What does the Islamic school near me teach the
  children?
• A lot of parents wonder what does the curriculum
  includes in the Islamic schools they put their
  child in. The Islamic schools prepare children
  for worldly as well as religious
  responsibilities.
• Along with lessons on math, science, social
  studies and languages, Islamic schools include
  lessons to teach their students about Allah,
  Islam, the Holy Quran and their responsibility as
  Muslims.
• These lessons include the five pillars of Islam
  Faith, Prayer, Charity, Fasting and Pilgrimage to
  the Holy cities of Mecca and Madinah.
