Shout out to the Halaal Muslim Businesses
Ever heard of a ‘Shoutout for Halal Business Drive’?
No?
HalfDate.com is now hosting one, and I must say, it’s a great idea, mashaa`Allaah. Here’s an excerpt from the site:
How do you feel when you see a woman with a child begging outside of your masjid?
Most probably, you’d feel sorry for them, and if they were genuinely in need, you’d help them.
But, this DateDrive is not about them.
Okay, here is another question.
How do you feel when you see a Muslim running a halal business trying to earn some halal money?
Most probably… nothingYes, Islam commands us to help the weak members of our society, but the goal of this help is so that one day they can be strong. Islam never encourages begging, that’s why we’re suppose to give to needy people before they even ask.
Yes, it’s good to donate in general, and you’re rewarded for that
