If you do not want to give a lot of know how (and in person donations/stipends and financing start ups) to underpriviliged uneducated muslims, then it is better to donate to organisations like muslim charity. That is simple.
Everything what you did mention about copywriting seems easy for a say UK or US high school and college graduate, having a PC and internet know-how, but say, as you look the pictures of Bangladeshi, Uganda, Nigeria, Yemeni, India etc. poor muslims, copywriting is almost impossible.
Walaikumsalam
Brother, i am from India. And I have exposure to this digital business across the world for about 7-8 years. So, any where in the world, if people want to get good work in a low price, they see towards countries like India & Bangladesh and outsource the work. And this is one of the reason IT companies in India are thriving. So coming to our topic, most of the content writing works happening across the world have back end work happening here itself. From my experience, what I just feel is Indian Muslims are way behind in exploring these great opportunities of easy business.
Maybe you are judging me that I am a beginner and just sharing vague thoughts. But alhamdulillah it's not like that. I have a Engineering degree, MBA degree, and good amount of experience in business development. And I have helped at least few hundreds of people for various jobs and businesses. And if not huge, I also have little bit knowledge of practical way of Islamic approach to solutions.
If you see my another post on leadership. I have mentioned few books should be read. I didn't just say to read by hear and say. I read many 100's of such books. And each book, I read 2-3 times to understand the insights.
People are already doing that, but there is no visual difference. Why because though there are billions of Muslim donations, all are being distributed and not being used collectively. And more importantly because of no collective goal of achievement. For example a man donates to madarsa and he is content that he has done his part. Madarsa feed the students, construct building and teach the students. And they are content that their part is done. Everyone is feeling their responsibility has been fulfilled. But on the larger front across the country or globe, its not making any difference.
In India Uttar Pradesh has most madarsas including bigger ones like Darul uloom Deoband. Millions of rupees come as donation to them and the students are serving ummah across the world. But now, the local government is planning to shut these madarsas and already have started demolishing few madarsas for silly reasons. So what is the purpose of such donations and madarsas if they can't protect themselves forget the ummah.
This could have been avoided, if the government is formed of parties which support Muslims and if the parties have majority of Muslims. What I beg is, Muslims should focus on real causes which have their say. Rather than just believing and projecting themselves as minorities and playing victim cards all the time. Most of the media and even Muslims say, we are being tortured because we are Muslims. SubhanAllah, in a country where Muslims have become Presidents, Chief Ministers and ministers. This statement is vague.
There are just about 50,000 parsis (Zoroastrians) in India and a major of Indian Economy is in their hands. No body is torturing them or putting hurdles to their business. What I mean to say is, Muslims should focus on building potential rather than just sitting idle and feeling weak.
