Everlasting rewards are awaiting

What your gift can bring, in shaa Allah.

Every time the reader opens the Qur'an you gave, good deeds can be written for them, and for you.

“
When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge from which benefit is derived, or a righteous child who prays for him.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ · Sahih Muslim 1631

Giving for another person

Everyone involved is rewarded

An act of worship where good deeds are written in the account of every party that took part.

  • 1The reader gets 3,230,150 to 3,307,090 good deeds each time they read the whole Qur'an, or 10 for every letter.
  • 2The person you gave for has the same good deeds written for every letter the reader reads.
  • 3You, the donor, get the same good deeds as the two above.
Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah will receive a good deed, and a good deed is multiplied by ten. I do not say that Alif Lam Mim is one letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter, and Mim is a letter.Sunan al-Tirmidhi 2910

Imagine how many good deeds you win when the reader opens it tens or hundreds of times!

"All my followers will enter Paradise except those who refuse." They said, "O Allah's Messenger ﷺ! Who will refuse?" He said, "Whoever obeys me will enter Paradise, and whoever disobeys me is the one who refuses (to enter it)."Sahih Bukhari
