Charitable Giving | Zaytuna College
Legacy Giving with Zaytuna College
Those who give, out of their own possessions, by night and by day, in private and in public, will have their reward with their Lord: no fear for them, nor will they grieve. (Qur'an 2:274).
Make a Gift of Continuous Charity
The Messenger of God ﷺ said, “When a person dies, his deeds die with him, except for three: charitable endowments, beneficial knowledge, and righteous children who supplicate on his behalf.” Investing your wealth with Zaytuna College fulfills all three of the prophetic criteria of continuous good deeds as defined in this extraordinary hadith.
