Halil Demir started a local Muslim charity just months before 9/11.

Now it is a multimillion-dollar international relief organization: www.zakat.org.

Often we only see what is in front of our eyes and tend to forget how things are always in the years in the making.

What you might not know that he is originally from a farmer's family where he started taking care of the animals at the age of 6-7.

In this episode, we go back, way back when he started volunteering and helping those in need first in his home country in Turkey.

Later he continued his volunteer work while studying in Europe. Today Zakat Foundation of America is one of the leading Muslim charities in the world helping the needy.

We also discussed his book "9 Myths About Muslim Charities" and some funny stories Mr. Halil deals with as a Muslim charity in the US.
