On this occasion we remember the teachings of our Holy Prophet (PBUH) as the quote goes: They ask you (O Muhammad) what they should spend in charity. Say: 'Whatever you spend with a good heart, give it to parents, relatives, orphans, the helpless, and travelers in need. Whatever good you do, God is aware of it.” Hence the main aim of our NGO HOPE is placed on this very saying.
