For the dinner table

The khutbah teaches that an honest person who handles someone else’s charity faithfully can share the donor’s reward. Charity is not limited to money: time, effort, and dependable service also matter. Because donations are an amanah, we should choose organizations and recipients carefully so help reaches people in need. Even when scandals make trust difficult, trustworthy people and opportunities to serve remain.
