'Threshold India 2009' is brain child of Shahid Sayed to promote entrepreneurship amongst the Muslim youth, to bring them closer to the mainstream and make them committed global citizens that value life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as a goal worth achieving by their own efforts. Sadaqat is a very wide term and is used in the Quran to cover all kinds of charity. Helping someone to establish himself in business, giving someone a proper education; helping someone to recover from some disease by monetary assistance to looking after the orphans and the destitute; giving scholarships to students, all such charitable works, come under sadaka jaria - that is why so many centres of social welfare have continued to function in the Muslim community. (Quran 2 : 261 The likeness of those who spend their wealth in Allah's way is as the likeness of a grain which groweth seven ears, in every ear a hundred grains. Allah giveth increase manifold to whom He will. Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing.
