A special focus will be given on students and beneficiaries from Rural areas and Minority concentrated districts. Although most of the donations will be strictly confidential; in event of a donation of more than INR we can arrange to connect the Donor to his Beneficiary if he wishes to do so. We hope that you will wholeheartedly support in this blessed cause where the rewards for a single good deed are multiplied several fold. Allah (SWT) has given us many opportunities to earn rewards during Ramadan by doing virtuous and benevolent deeds; and the best way to do this is by helping the needy and the less fortunate by means of Zakat and Sadaqah. 21
