Why is the Telethon Needed?

Dawat-e-Islami is currently engaged in the selfless service of the religion of Islam and humanity through more than 80 departments worldwide. The establishment of thousands of mosques, the free religious and moral upbringing of hundreds of thousands of children and students, and numerous other services to the religion and nation—are provided completely free of cost.

To run such a vast global system continuously without any hindrance, huge financial resources are required every year. Telethon is the primary annual source through which funds are provided for religious and reformatory projects, so that the lamps of religious knowledge remain illuminated and this caravan of the reformation of the Ummah keeps moving forward.

Where are Your Donations Spent?

The money given by you is a trust with us, which, in accordance with Shariah principles and through an extremely transparent manner, is attempted to be spent in the following key sectors:

1. Construction and renovation of Mosques

In addition to cities, new mosques are constructed in far-flung and underprivileged areas where Muslims do not have a place to offer prayers. Apart from this, the renovation of old mosques, improvement of ablution areas, arrangement of solar systems, and other necessary works are carried out as needed.

2. Free Religious Education (Madaris and Jamiaat)

It is also helpful in meeting all the expenses of thousands of branches of Madrasat-ul-Madinah and Jamiat-ul-Madinah, which include:

• Three-time quality meals and hostel facilities for thousands of residential students.
• Dignified salaries for the teachers who work hard day and night.
• Building repairs and other utility bills; etc.

3. Modern Media and Digital Propagation (Dawat)

Through Madani Channel and various digital applications, the message of the noble Quran and Sunnah is delivered to every home, so that for people who cannot reach religious centers, religious knowledge reaches their doorsteps.

The Reward of Spending in the Light of the Holy Quran

Spending in the way of Allah Almighty does not cause a decrease in wealth; rather, it is that best bargain of the Hereafter which beautifies both a person's worldly life and the Hereafter. In the Holy Quran, Allah Almighty states:

" Those who donate their wealth by night and by day, in secret or in public, there is reward for them with their Lord—and they shall neither have fear nor will they grieve." (Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse: 274)

This divine promise gives three grand guarantees: a preserved reward from the Allah Almighty, protection from the horrors of the Day of Judgment, and deliverance from the griefs of this world and the Hereafter.
