be rewarded from, even after the donator’s demise. Islam offers several rulings
that regulate, protect and ensure the effectiveness of endowments.

“Good deeds are especially rewarding during the holy month of Ramadan, the
month of compassion, generosity and solidarity, following the example of the

Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him), who was the most generous among
his people, and is ever more generous during Ramadan,” Bin Bayyah noted.

He praised His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s innovative

initiative to launch the Mothers’ Endowment campaign, which adds to other
outstanding initiatives he launches every year.

“Honoring parents is a prominent command in Islamic teachings, and is a
practice stressed and praised in Quran and Sunnah. The Mothers’ Endowment

campaign combines the good deeds of honouring mothers, as well as allocating
the endowment proceeds to support education – and in particular the education

of the poor and underprivileged who need it to become productive, active
members in their communities,” he added.

Finally, Sheikh Abdullah bin Bayyah called upon businessmen and community

members to contribute to the endowment campaign, which will be rewarded in
the afterlife as an ongoing charity for His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin

Rashid who initiated it, as well as for everyone who donates to it, and to the
mothers in whose names the donations are made.

The Mothers’ Endowment campaign welcomes donations and contributions to
the endowment fund from institutions and individuals across six main channels

including the campaign’s website (Mothersfund.ae), as well as a dedicated call
centre via the toll-free number (800 9999). Donations are also possible via bank

transfers in the UAE dirham to the campaign bank account number with Emirates
Islamic Bank (AE790340003708472909201). Donations via SMS are possible by
sending the word “Mother” to the following numbers (1034, 1035, 1036, 1038) for

Etisalat by e& users. Other possible platforms for donating to the campaign are
the DubaiNow app by clicking the “Donations” tab, and Dubai’s community

contributions platform Jood (Jood.ae).
