*Days Righteous Deeds are More Beloved to Allah*
[[-- Episode Two --]]--------------------------------
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Each day that Allah (swt) gives us is an opportunity for us to grow closer to Him. It’s a chance to be grateful for what we have, and to implement more good deeds, and increase in our levels of faith.
In Sha Allah, in the next 4-5days to come, we are going to embark on one of those golden opportunities, which is the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. The superiority of the first ten days of Dhul-Hajjah has been mentioned in the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
Muslim Faithful!
Doing wrong in the month of Dhul-Hijjah, especially to people, increases the degree of sin more than the same act in other months.. Therefore, the first 10days of Dhul-Hijjah will come and go as do the days of life. So we should utilise them in the highest and best possible way.
Now,
Here are some of the established practices of these blessed days for us to incorporate into our worship, and lessons we can take from these days:
*Established Practices Number 2:* Give More Sadaqah
Not only are these days most beloved days to Allah - but He loves to be worshipped on them, and for us to put extra effort into doing good deeds like giving something out from our hard earn money as sadaqah during these days.
Servants Of Allah!
Many of us maximise our Sadaqah during the last ten nights of Ramadan, but the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah are just as valuable. Yes. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to earn extra rewards for simple good deeds.
It's true that,
The economy is bad and everybody needs help financially in one way or the other, but this is what makes given out sadaqah more of a test which attract more heavier rewards in this current economic situation.
Evidence:
A man came to the Prophet, (PBUH) and he said, *“O Messenger of Allah, which charity has the greatest reward?” The Prophet said, “That you give charity while you are healthy, greedy, fearing poverty, and hoping to be rich. Do not delay giving...”* 📚Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 1419, Sahih Muslim 1032
This is why,
Anybody who have something little or big in his or her pocket or Bank account in our society today should realise their responsibilities and should hasten to discharge the obligations they owe to the propagation of the religion of Allah (swt), orphans , poor widows and poorer people in the Islamic community. It's true that majority of people are economically poor but MANY MORE are more poorer than others. Hence the need to squeeze out something as sadaqah to put smile on some people's faces
*Words of Encouragement:*
Abu Hurayrah (r.a.) reported that the Prophet (PBUH) said: *''Every morning, two angels descend. One of them says: 'O Allah, give the one who spends (in the way of Allah) compensation.' The other one says: 'O Allah, give the one who withholds (from spending in the way of Allah) more financial problems and worries of life.'"* 📚Sahih/Authentic. - [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
We must remember that,
In the world of mathematics, 5-2=3 and one cannot increase what he or she have by giving it away😃. Yes. That’s mathematics. But, in the spiritual world, things work differently.. In the spiritual world, the more you give of what you value, the more your hearafter's savings account swells up😳. Infact , in most cases, the food or clothing you're spending on will not benefit you in this world and your Hearafter like the Sadaqah you will FREQUENTLY squeeze out resources to give. This why the word "Charity" is mentioned dozens of times in the Quran & authentic Hadith.
