GIVING SINCERE SADAQAH AND ITS EFFECTS ON OUR LIFE

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Al-Khamis, 20th day of Ramadhan. (Thursday, 21st of April, 2022). *_GIVING SINCERE SADAQAH AND ITS EFFECTS ON OUR LIFE_*. BismilLaah.

Sadaqah is a means of gaining baraqah(blessings) on our wealth or income. It may be hard for us to give sadaqah when we are barely able to make ends meet. However, if we truly trust in ALLAH, we will give from the little we have to our relatives in particular with intention of gaining baraqah on our income as ALLAH promised in Quran 2:261 as ALLAH says; 

مَّثَلُ الَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ سُنبُلَةٍ مِّيَةُ حَبَّةٍ

The parable of those who spend their wealth in the way of ALLAH, is that of a grain (of corn); it grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains.

This is a parable that ALLAH made of the multiplication of rewards for those who spend in HIS cause, seeking HIS pleasure. ALLAH multiplies the good deed ten to seven hundred times especially in this blessed month of the year. 

If we truly believe and apply this verse, we will come to learn that we can never lose from giving sadaqah, but instead we gain immensely from it. However, gaining from sadaqah may not always be in a physical form. When we give sadaqah, it doesn’t necessarily mean that our salaries will increase or we will miraculously stumble upon a goldmine. It may mean that ALLAH will put baraqah(blessings) into our wealth and possessions instead. 

By regularly giving sadaqah, we will quickly notice that although we are still spending the same amount of money on the same expenses, we will still have plenty left in shaa ALLAH. Example is you going to a shop to buy a TV which cost $1000 and you are ready with your $1000 only to realise you left your wallet at home. You then decided to come back to the same shop the next day only the realise that the same TV is now half price 50% discount Allahu Akbar. Who made you to forget your wallet yesterday? ALLAH indeed as part of the blessings on your $1000. This happiness to us on our daily lives that we fail to notice. Let's support our relatives and the needy in this blessed month for our own good.

*_MAY ALLAH KEEP GUIDING US ALL AND BLESS US WITH THE LITTLE CHARITY WE GIVE_*. Aameen.
