His Eminence the former Mofti Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Baz – may God have mercy upon him- motivated people to donate and have good intention in order to gain Thawab (Allah's reward).
Allah stated:
[5:32]
For that cause We decreed for the Children of Israel that whosoever killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind.
[99:7]
Then shall anyone who has done an atom’s weight of good, see it!
[99:8]
And anyone who has done an atom’s weight of evil, shall see it.
[2:195]
In all things, their standard should be, not selfishness, but the good of their brethren, for such good is pleasing to God.
Prophet Mohammed peace be upon him said that Allah will help those whom always help others.
