9. JUSTIFICATION AND BENEFITS

1. This project aims to reduce some of the financial burden by helping families provide school supplies for their children in preparation for the new school year.
Like Allah says:

Worship God; join nothing with Him. Be good to your parents, to relatives, to orphans, to the needy, to neighbours near and far, to travellers in need, and to your slaves. God does not like arrogant,
boastful people ( Surah 4:36)

2. This project offers the Nairaland Muslim community an opportunity to introduce Islam to people in a friendly environment and offer them free copies of the Quran.

Call [people] to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good teaching. Argue with them in the most courteous way, for your Lord knows best who has strayed from His way and who is rightly guided. (Surah 16:125)

3. The community gets the opportunity to interact with Muslims in a friendly atmosphere and dispel common misconceptions.

EXACTLY

Assalamu Alaikum,

Though I am not a Moslem but this project is a praiseworthy one and only Allah can reward all those who partake in it.

I observe that the finance sub committee only has one member, I am of the opinion that, it might prove costly in the end. I trust the integrity of everyone concerned but since you guys talk of transperency, I believe it would be appropriate if the committee can extend it's membership to at least 3 trusted individuals. One would be responsible for keeping the funds while the other two would maintain two separate records which should be reconciled on a weekly basis.

I propose that two other alternate e-mails be set up, which should be in copy for every pledge or donations made, this I believe would aid proper record keeping and also ensure that the integrity of the chairman of the finance sub committee be in tact at all times.

I recommend too that tbaba be made to have ready access to all financial records, even though he might not have direct access to the money in question.

Good project and may Allah bless you all.


PS: since the target population are very poor, hope you guys have considered whether they can afford school fees in the first place?

Jayid Ma sha Allaah. Will it be late for the would-be donors to target ramadhan so as to maximize reward?

Great ! Glad to know it finally became a reality.

jasakum lohu kairan

Aslm alkm, may Allah SWT reward d initiators of this project and may He give us d will to contribute earnestly. Keep it up!

Rooneyboy:
Can non muslims contribute to
this project aswell, or strictly for
muslim faithfuls

dont tell me u re expecting non muslims to contribute too.

MashaAllah, this is good...may Allah increase the initiators of this project in wisdom,health,faith and wealth....am very happy hearing this...

Let people contribute jare.

jazakallahu khairan. This is indeed a good initiative. may Allah make it easy. I will just like to add that efforts should be made to properly identify the target group considering the fact that Nigerians generally like free things. everybody will like to have it even if they can afford it while depriving those that actually need it. may Allah make the project a success.

Rooneyboy: Can non muslims contribute to this project aswell, or strictly for muslim faithfuls

Will be thankfully accepted.
