WHY SHOULD ONE GIVE TO ISCJ ENDOWMENT?
- To preserve and perpetuate Islam - Our most cherished assets are our Iman and our deen. Supporting Islamic endowments like ISCJ Endowment will help preserve and perpetuate our deen for the future generations. Imam Chebli often makes du’a to keep the doors of ISCJ open until the day of Akhira. Your gift to ISCJ Endowment will help in realizing this du’a, insha’Allah.
- To earn rewards in the Hereafter - The only book that truly matters to us is our Book of Deeds. When we leave this Earth, our book of deeds is closed. However, our endowment donations, our awqaf, shall keep adding to our book of deeds until the Day of Judgement. Wouldn’t we want to want to invest in this tree of Good Deeds which shall keep benefiting us until the Day of Judgement?
- To realize substantial tax benefits – Often planned-giving to charities using trusts helps the charity and lower your tax bill substantially for a win-win situation.
