Ṣadaqah or Saddka (Arabic: صدقة, IPA: [sˤɑdæqɐ], "charity", plural ṣadaqāt صدقات) is an Islamic term that means "voluntary charity".
This concept encompasses any act of giving out of compassion, love, friendship (fraternity) or generosity.
Prophet Muhammad said : "We used to sacrifice Atirah in pre-Islamic days during Rajab; so what do you command us?” He said: “Sacrifice for the sake of Allah in any month whatever; obey Allah, Most High, and feed (the people).” (Abu-Dawood : 2824)
"Saddka extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire." (Tirmidhi : 2541)
"Saddka appeases the Lord’s anger and averts an fire death“”." (Tirmidhi : 1909)
"Give the Saddka without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity." (Tirmidhi: 1887)
"The believer’s shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his Saddka." (Tirmidhi: 1925)
A woman said: "Apostle of Allah, my mother suddenly died; if it had not happened, she would have given Saddka (charity) and donated (something). Will it suffice if I give Saddka on her behalf?" Prophet Muhammad said: "Yes, give Saddka on her behalf." (Abu-Dawood: 2875)
Maulana Tariq Jameel (Urdu: مولانا طارق جمیل) (born 1953) is an Islamic scholar from Pakistan. His native town is Tulambah near Mian Channu. His father was an agriculturist who belonged to the Muslim Rajputs community.[citation needed]
Tariq Jameel was born and raised in Mian Channu. In his childhood he lived a relatively modest life but religion was not a major part of his life and his family in particular. It wasn't until he pursued his M.B.B.S. in Lahore that his focus shifted towards Islam. After completing his Higher Secondary School education (a.k.a. F.Sc in some regions of Pakistan) in pre-medical (equivalent to A 'levels') from Government College, Lahore, he took admission in King Edward Medical College in Lahore. He intended to do his M.B.B.S., but he soon switched to Islamic education. He then went on to receive Islamic education from Jamia Arabia, Raiwind (near Lahore), Pakistan where he studied Quran, Hadith, Sharia, Tasawwuf, logic and Fiqh.[citation needed]
His proclivity towards Islam grew during hostel life in Lahore and can mainly be attributed to the group members of Tablighi Jamaat who he became friends with during his college life.[citation needed]
Farhad 'Darya' Nasher (Persian: فرهاد دریا b. September 22, 1962, from Kunduz, Afghanistan) is an Afghan singer and composer, as well as a highly acclaimed music producer, and Good Will and Peace Ambassador for Afghanistan to the United Nations. Widely popular, he has earned affection for not only his music but also patriotism. He has fan base that stretches from his native Afghanistan to Central Asia, Pakistan, India, and extending to the West among the Afghans.[citation needed] Farhad sings in various languages including: Pashto, Dari Persian, Uzbek, English[citation needed] and Hindi.
Farhad Darya was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, to an Afghan family originating from Kunduz. Farhad's blood lineage can be traced to the Nasher Khans. Darya attended [[Shir Khan|Sher Khan Hd-bed. He later graduated from Habibia High School.[citation needed] After high school he enrolled in the Polytechnical University of Kabul and then subsequently in Kabul University. It was while attending Kabul University that Darya founded his first professional band, Goroh-e-Baran, meaning Rain Band. Initially it was to be called Halqahai Tilayee (Golden Rings) but the newcomers later settled on the former title.[citation needed] The band itself was not largely successful, due in part to its non-traditional music; however, it did acquaint the public with the faces of the member singers: Darya, Asad Badie, Mukhtar Majid and Jawid Rahie.[citation needed] Still involved in his music career, Darya continued his studies in college. During this time, he wrote music for other artists under the pseudonym Abr (Cloud). In 1988, Darya became a professor at the university and taught Western classical music for a year before leaving for Europe.[citation needed]
