As a created being, man is in the complete sense, a helpless creature. However, for the purpose of the test of mankind, it appears as if he is in control and possesses the power to   direct his life. Man should reach beyond this apparent feeling of control and discover his helplessness.

This is a great discovery within which lies all the secrets to his success.

The Prophet of Islam has been reported as saying that the noblest charity is that of imparting knowledge to one’s brethren.

What is charity? It is the extension of goodwill and love towards one’s fellow creatures.

This feeling can find expression in the form of gifts of money, or simply in the giving of good advice.
