Benefit Humanity in memory of Gouhar Khanzada

Tax deductible
Hello and salaam,

This campaign is in honor of beloved father, husband, brother, and so much more -- Gouhar Khanzada. Gouhar's radiant spirit and generous heart may have left us far too soon, but his profound impact on our lives will never fade. With a kindness that knew no bounds, a wisdom that inspired, and a generosity that touched countless hearts, he left an indelible mark on our lives. His infectious smile, warm embrace, and gentle humor had a way of making everyone feel seen, heard, and loved. Let's come together to celebrate his extraordinary life and continue his legacy of love, kindness, and compassion. Your support will help us honor his memory and keep his spirit alive in the hearts of those he touched.

Through Zakat Foundation of America, we will be donating towards sadaqah jariyah projects with the intention that God will accept these deeds under Gouhar's name. Sadaqah Jariyah is a concept in Islam that refers to a form of ongoing charity that continues to benefit people and generate rewards for the giver even after their death. The term "Sadaqah" means charity, while "Jariyah" means continuous or flowing. Therefore, Sadaqah Jariyah can be understood as "continuous charity."

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “The best charity is giving water to drink.” With your generous donations, we will be building water wells and water pumps in impoverished communities across the globe. Each time an individual drinks from the water well, cleanses themself for prayers, waters crops to feed their family, or any other beneficial use, Gouhar receives ongoing rewards! This act of charity not only addresses a critical need but also serves as a perpetual source of blessings and prayers for Gouhar.

Our initial goal is to build 8 water wells and 12 water pumps in areas that need it most. More information about these projects can be found on Zakat Foundation of America's website: https://www.zakat.org/our-work/water

As Gouhar was a managing partner at Tower Consulting Engineers and Narrow Security, both entities will each match 100% of the total donations -- tripling the value of every generous contribution.

We hope and pray that God accepts this act of charity on Gouhar's behalf and as a result, draws Gouhar's soul closer to Him so he can find eternal comfort and peace in the final home -- Jannah.
