Spend in the way of Allah swt 2:261-2:265 [small note]

The beautiful quality of our deen is , that it teaches us to care about people.

*Why should I spend from my wealth?*

Sadaqa is that tunnel through which , we put our wealth from one side and it reaches jannah and awaits us there.

One must spend, to attain Allah swt’s pleasure. Imagine a tunnel with two open ends. We put sadaqa from one side and it goes away from our sight.. but it is still there.. waiting for us on the day of akhirah.. to lead us to jannah..inshallah

Allah swt likens the person who spends even 1 penny “feesabillilah—in the way of Allah” with a pure intention, as a seed sowed by a farmer which grows into 7 stalks and each stalk at the top has 100 clusters of grains.[2:261]

That means.. if today you spend  1 Re/$/dirham in the way of Allah swt.. Allah will reward a person with 700 Re/$/dirham worth of good deeds.. and this is when we spend ONLY  1 re/$/dirham..

According to a hadith by Ibn Majah- the mafum is as follows.. the Prophet s.a.w said, if a person sponsors his money for the deen of Allah but doesn’t actively participate , then his reward is 700 times for each dirham spent.. and if a person sponsors his money for the deen of Allah swt and also actively participates in the way of Allah swt.. then his reward is 700,000 times for each dirham spent.

The reward for spending is IMMENSE..what we are we waiting for..:) lets get going..!!

But wait!!

Before we embark on this journey, lets prepare ourselves..as the road is tough and obstacles such as Takkabur are too many on the way.

Before we undertake this journey of spending in the way of Allah swt..on the creations of Allah swt.. we must cleanse our heart and fill it will the love of Allah swt. We must tell ourselves that we are doing this only for the sake of our Khaliq and we want His pleasure.. as that’s all we seek.

We don’t want any worldly benefit.. no worldly acclaim or recognition or any financial reward.. the Only reward we seek is Our Rabb’s pleasure and mercy.

And as soon as we spend.. we must be careful to protect the sadaqa that we sent on the way to Allah.swt, as it might be harmed and finally destroyed if we follow our sadaqa with reminders , or hurtful comments.[2:665]
