Charity in the name of the Imam (as) prevents afflictions

I would like to share this in honor of remembering the birth of master of the martyrs Imam Hussain (as). In these trying times give charity daily even if little for the sake of your Imam (as). Charity prolongs life, adverts tragedies and illnesses by the power and grace of Allah.
