So he sold his successful business and started his charity<\/span> MATW Project <\/span><\/a>that focused on building Mosques and schools in Togo Africa. <\/span>\n\nThe Millionaire turned humanitarian then tried through his charity and social media to influence people through his story in the hopes to shift our focus on the hereafter rather than this meaningless Dunya (worldly life).<\/span>\n\nIn his message brother Ali talked about how many people reach out to him and tell him he\u2019s guaranteed Paradise for all the hard work he has done to the community to that he said; \u201cSubhanallah this, this is not worth just a simple blessing that Allah has given us.

Even if it\u2019s not you personally doing it and you\u2019re funding someone else\u2019s projects. Just do something cause wallah you\u2019re going to be needing it on the day of judgment\u2026\u201d<\/span>\n\nBrother Ali also wanted to show his appreciation and gratitude to all his supporters who sometimes flew from overseas to visit him sometimes and he sai <\/span>\n\nHe wanted to let his supporter to know that the impact they had on his life and how Allah has made him meet people that touched his life\u2026 <\/span>\n\nThe Prophet (\ufdfa) said: <\/span>\n
