Thanks to our dedicated team of volunteers in the field and our initial donor-founders covering additional dministrative costs and expenses incurred, we, adopt a 100% Donations Policy as we will NOT use part of your donation for advertising or administrative fees etc. Furthermore, we assure you that only those who genuinely deserve your donation will receive it. All recipients of our regular aid are Zakah-eligible so you can pay your Zakat/ Sadaqah, Fitrah, Fidyah, Kaffarah, etc and be sure that 100% of it will go to those who genuinely deserve.
Our name “Seven Spikes” is derived from the Qur’anic verse that reads: {The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain], which grows SEVEN SPIKES; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.} [Surat al-Baqarah (chapter 2): Verse 261]. Thus, “Seven Spikes” is an indication of how the reward of what you spend as a charity or Zakat is multiplied by seven hundred in the same way a single grain of wheat grows seven spikes (ears) with each spike containing hundred grains, totaling seven hundred. Thus as a single grain has produced seven hundred grains, Allah, the Exalted, multiplies the reward of your donation by seven hundred or more. This is confirmed by the Prophetic Hadith in which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “He who gives in charity the value of a date which he purely lawfully earned, and Allah accepts only that which is lawful pure, Allah accepts it with His Right Hand and fosters it for him, as one of you fosters his foal, until it becomes like a mountain.” [Al- Bukhari and Muslim].
مَّثَلُ الَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ سُنبُلَةٍ مِّئَةُ حَبَّةٍ وَاللّهُ يُضَاعِفُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَاللّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
