A true (good practicing) Muslim or Muslimah will spend his or her money in the following ways

 


*A true (good practicing) Muslim or Muslimah will spend his or her money in the following ways:*


1. Sadaqa - For the sake of Allah. Sadaqa multiplies the wealth, it keeps us away from harm, danger and punishment of the grave. If done properly, sadaqa jariya keeps sending rewards even after death. 


2. Family - The Prophet says the best place to spend is on family. If you spend on your family, you get the reward of sadaqa. Spending on family has many benefits. It strengthens love and respect. It prevents family members especially wife and children from stealing, begging and lacking in general. Being nice to them makes one a good Muslim as mentioned by Al-Bukhari.


3. Orphans - No one receives more attention in the Qur’an like the orphans. Allah stresses their status and the benefit of helping them. Find at least one or two orphans in your family or neighbourhood, support their education, health care, feeding, anything. The benefits are: your children will be taken care of by Allah when you pass away. You will never lack in terms of wealth. And lastly, Jannah is a guarantee for you as long as you die a Muslim.


4. Projects - People who spend on projects such as masjid are the best among us. Bcos as they build masjids and schools, Allah is building mansion for them in Jannah. Don't put your money on luxury cars, lavish mansions etc. Its ok to acquire things, but do not be extravagant. Allah does not like those who spend excessively on worldly things. Such projects will be sadaqa jariya for you.


5. Donations and sponsorship - a lot of people are poor, they lack in every way. Such are people we should take care of, not prostitutes or hoodlums. Allah ta'alah loves people who love the poor among them. When you make such people happy, Allah is pleased with you too. And Allah loves those who help others. In the day of judgement, such people get intercession through the Prophet PBUH.


May Allah bless us with wealth and money to spend on his way. May Allah not give us money that will mislead us or stop us from worshipping Allah. Amin ya rabb.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 3rd day of Rabeeul Awwal 1447AH, Tuesday, 26th August 2025. *_THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF_*. BismilLah.  Islam encourages Muslims in general to stand out among people, readily distinguishable by their dress, appearance and behaviour, so that they will be a good example, worthy of the great message that they bring to humanity. According to the hadith narrated by the great Sahabi Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam ) told his Companions, when they were travelling to meet some brothers in faith: "You are going to visit your brothers, so repair your saddles and make sure that you are dressed well, so that you will stand out among people like an adornment, for ALLAH (SWT) does not love ugliness." Reported by Imam Abu Dawud, 4/83, in Kitab al-libas, bab ma ja'a fi isbal al-izar. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) considered an unkempt and careless appearance, and scruffy clothes and furnishings, to be...
