Just wondering if any of you are still donating to charity or has the economic slowdown in the USA stopped you from giving.
I had to time the first response to this post and it was 16 minutes. When I post about the election I get responses in about 1 minute.
Thank you for giving..we all should remember that no matter how bad we think times are, we are obligated to give.
Saving Taxes By Giving To Charity (Forbes) It may seem too early to start planning year-end tax deductions, but it isn’t. In fact, especially if you plan to make noncash contributions, it’s best to plan ahead. Although tax rates seem certain to rise in 2011, that doesn’t mean you’ll get more from making charitable contributions in 2011. Some advisers suggest making contributions in 2010. For this and other tax tips about the end of 2010, see Tea Leaves And Tax Moves In 2010. To help make a decision, try to project figures for both 2010 and 2011, even if you have to make some assumptions about what rates 2011 will bring. www.woodporter.com More at lbnews.com
I want to do this… but can I just enter a mosque and there will be a place to put money? I don’t want to go there and look foolish if I can’t? Is it always an option to give money?
I previously posted a question asking whether it was haram to give charity to non-muslims, and some answers said that charity can be given to non-muslims, but zakah can only be given to muslims. Ummm aren’t they the same thing? Zakah IS charity, isn’t it?
English lyrics are from Herzeleid.com : He is religious and very sensitive on his wall is a picture of the Lord he wipes the spots from the Bible he gladly distributes the Communion He loves the boys in the choir they keep their souls pure but the tenor worries him so he must be the closest to him * on his nightstand, quiet and wordless a picture of the Lord he slowly turns it around When the church clock strikes twice hallelujah he folds his hands for prayer hallelujah he has remained without a wife hallelujah so he must love his neighbor * hallelujah The young man is allowed to stay with him the sin nests above the leg so he gladly helps to exorcize it to music and candlelight When the church clock strikes twice hallelujah he folds his hands for prayer hallelujah he has remained without a wife hallelujah so he must love his neighbor * hallelujah When the church clock strikes twice hallelujah he takes the boy into his prayers hallelujah he is the true Christian hallelujah and knows what charity is * hallelujah Turn around slowly Turn around * There is sort of a pun used in this song. When he loves his neighbor, “seinen Nächsten lieben” it is as if he is giving to charity, which is “Nächstenliebe”. When it says that he knows what charity is, it is also as if knows what loving his neighbor is. Closest to, “am nächsten”, is also part of this pun because it associates being close with neighbors once again, simply because the same word is used.
