They extol charity for other Muslims. Part of the Zakaat goes to jihad. Why did you not mention that?If you paid me a Million $$$, I don't think I could do that.Show me something about islam that is better for anyone.
How 'bout I pay you a nickel and you read the Constitution.![]()
It is easy to find how Islam made things better for people.
They were the first to incorporate welfare for widows and orphans.
That is what the tithing paid at the mosque was for.
{... Muslims do give 2.5% of what they earn or save in the fiscal year to the (Islamic) Treasury as Zakaat (a form of tithe). Zakaat is the 4th pillar of Islam and the collection is distributed to the poor and the deserving others such as orphans, widows, students etc.
There are many verses in the Quran and Hadith that extol charity. ...}
Jihad is a personal thing, where you try to do the right thing, and fight against your impulses for things like greed. It has nothing to do with war or aggression. And in fact, the point of jihad is to avoid war or aggression.
