"For men and women who give themselves wholly (to God); for believing men and women; for devout men and women; for truthful men and women; for patient men and women; for men and women who are humble; for charitable men and women; for men and women who fast; for men and women who guard their chastity; and for men and women who engage in abundant praise of God. For them (all), God has prepared forgiveness and a magnificent reward." (Qur'an 33:35)
"When a person dies, his works end, except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him."
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)
"The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him."
Sunan Ibn Mājah
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.'"
