Giving sadaqa or charity is a highly rewardable act in Islam, averting calamity and increasing blessings in one’s life.
Allah says in the Qur’an, “Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He may multiply it for him many times over? And it is Allah who withholds and grants abundance, and to Him you will be returned” (Qur’an, 2: 245).
Hoping to get the reward from Allah, Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa has continued to give back to the society, and latest of his charity giving is donating N20,000 each to about five thousand people in Jos, Plateau State, Sports Brief reported.

The Fatih Karagumruk forward was spotted personally handing enveloped gifts to a crowd gathered at his Jos home.
Those supported by the Nigerian international included tailors, bean sellers, shoemakers and a host of other small business owners.
Philanthropic Musa
Musa has always been an inspiration to many young Muslims with his charity works and projects launched to help his people.
The Nigerian superstar started his football career in the streets when he had nothing but a ball and some friends who shared his love and passion for football.
That’s why Musa, while advancing in his career from one team to another, is also making sure to help those in need in his country, either by promoting sports among Nigerians, supporting youth, and donating food items to the needy.
He even started a charity foundation named “Ahmed Musa Foundation” through which he helped those in need.
For example in 2018, Musa set 40 prisoners free by paying their debts.
Earlier in 2022, he donated $1500 to a local mosque in Senegal during Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
