HSBC Amanah launches new website
Doha: The HSBC Amanah has started an online community initiative by the name 'Amanah and You', a new section in its website, where anyone can access its 'Amanah Cares', 'Amanah Wishes' and 'Box of Hope'. The sections in the website offers an opportunity to learn about Zakah1, Sadaqah (charity giving) and send each other e-greeting cards drawn by orphans and less fortunate children in the UK and the UAE.The users of the website can also read about HSBC Amanah 's 'Box of Hope', the first global Ramadan campaign by an international Islamic bank, which gets the whole family excited about contributing to less fortunate children during Ramadan.
"We have developed this website because HSBC Amanah believes it is important for customers and others in the community to have an online space where they can learn about certain significant principles of Islam from a trusted source and use online tools such as a Zakah calculator and exchange e-greeting cards. We thought beyond just having the website as a place for customers to do their transactional banking online," said Razi Fakih, Deputy CEO of HSBC Amanah .
Through 'Amanah Wishes', those visiting the website can send friends and loved ones cards for various occasions such as Ramadan, Eid, anniversaries, birthdays and weddings. Another section, the 'Box of Hope' explains how parents can use the boxes provided by HSBC Amanah to foster the spirit of sharing and giving among their children this Ramadan.
Those who visit the website can also download interactive activities such as a monthly value-based calendar and playbook so their children can learn other values such as obedience, honesty and caring for the environment. The website also has other suggestions on how parents can teach their children about Ramadan, an FAQ on Ramadan and Muslim prayer times.
