 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad. 12th day of Jumaadal Awwal. (Sunday. 27th December. 2020). *_HOW SOME OF THE COMPANIONS TRADED WITH ALLAH_*. BismilLah. 

Abdullah bin Mas`ud said, “When this Ayah,

[مَّن ذَا الَّذِى يُقْرِضُ اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضَاعِفَهُ لَهُ]

(Who is he that will lend ALLAH handsome loan: then (ALLAH) will increase it manifold to his credit (in repaying), was revealed,

Abu Ad-Dahdah Al-Ansari said, `O ALLAH'S Messenger! Does ALLAH ask us for a loan‘

The Prophet said,

«نَعَمْ، يَاأَبَا الدَّحْدَاح» (Yes, O Abu Ad-Dahdah

He said, `Give me your hand, O ALLAH’s Messenger,’ and the Prophet placed his hand in his hand.

Abu Ad-Dahdah said, `Verily, I have given my garden as a loan to my Lord.’ He had a garden that contained six hundred date trees; his wife and children were living in that garden too. Abu Ad-Dahdah went to his wife and called her, `Umm Ad-Dahdah!’ She said, `Here I am.’ He said, `Leave the garden, because I have given it as a loan to my Lord, the Exalted and Most Honored.’ She said, `That is a successful trade, O Abu Ad-Dahdah!‘ She then transferred her goods and children from the garden. The Messenger of ALLAH said,

«كَمْ مِنْ عَذْقٍ رَدَاحٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لِأَبِي الدَّحْدَاح»

(How plentiful are the sweet date clusters that Abu Ad-Dahdah has in Paradise!)” In another narration, the Prophet said,

«رُبَّ نَخْلَةٍ مُدَلَّاةٍ، عُرُوقُهَا دُرٌّ وَيَاقُوتٌ، لِأَبِي الدَّحْدَاحِ فِي الْجَنَّة»

(How many a date tree that has lowered down its clusters, which are full of pearls and gems in Paradise for Abu Ad-Dahdah!) Tafsir ibn kathir. 

With all these Promises from ALLAH on yesterday's reminder and HIS Messenger on the above hadith, do I need to even add In shaa ALLAH that ALLAH will increase your income When you support for HIS sake? NO, we trust whatever HE promised will happen. 

This reminder is an Encouragement to make a Handsome Loan in the Cause of ALLAH such as helping your relatives, helping the poor, supporting daawah projects etc as I mentioned yesterday. Let's not get tired in helping others for ALLAH sake as we do so for our own sake regardless of whether we are appreciated by those we help or not as our intention is to gain rewards from ALLAH Not those we are helping. 

*_May ALLAH aid us to be able to support those in need and other daawah projects as a loan, trading and investment with ALLAH_*. Aameen.
