Here are some of the things that inspired the iCreate Team- maybe it willl inspire you too!
The Quran.
"O you who have iman! Shall I not point you towards a transaction that will save you from a painful punishment? You have iman in Allah and His Messenger, and you strive in the way of Allah with your wealth and your selves. That is better for you, if only you knew!" (The Holy Quran, Saff: 10-11)
Women companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
"Among the wives of the Holy Prophet (saw), Hazrat Zainab Bint Jahash (ra) was the most generous lady. She was an expert in processing and tempering skins into fine leather. With her art she was able to earn handsome money which she liberally gave away to the needy and the wretched. One day the Holy Prophet (saw) said: "Among you (my wives), whoever has the longest hand, she will join me (after my death) sooner than others. The wives of the Holy Prophet (saw) kept measuring the length of their arms. Hazrat Zainab had the shortest arm among them all. When she died, she was the first wife of the Holy Prophet (saw) to die and all the rest came to understand that by long hand, the measure of generosity was intended."
