Raise Awareness - Tips For Writing Good Letters

Put yourself in the shoes of a presenter, reporter or editor. They are more receptive to constructive criticism than they are to pressure. Don't just demand that the media promote Islam and Muslim images -- but rather, to be factual, impartial, and honest. Always ask yourself what would make the report better? Show the news agency not only what's wrong with their story, but how there is a more balanced alternative. One way to do this is by showing how their competitors reported the story more fairly. This is the difference between complaining and constructive criticism.

THE PUNISHMENT FOR NOT GIVING ZAKAAT.

 

Allah Ta'ala says in the Qur'an :

"And there are those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend it in the way of Allah, announce to them a most grievous penalty (when) on the Day of Qiyaamah heat will be produced out of that wealth in the fire of Jahannam, then with it they will be branded on their foreheads and their flanks and backs. (It will be said to them) This is the treasure which you hoarded for yourselves, taste then the treasure that you had been hoarding." Surah Taubah: 34.

zakaat

Zakaat (or Zakah): means "to grow" (in goodness), "increase," "purifying," "foster," "making pure."

 

Zakaat is a monetary devotion and an act of worship that has been ordained in the divine laws given to all the prophets (Peace be upon them). Zakaat is one of the five pillars of Islam. The Prophet says: I have been commanded to collect zakaat from the rich among you and distribute it to the poor among you.
