بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

If you can, every month, walk to any popular pharmacy or medicine store in your town, jack-out a minimum of say 2k from your monthly take-home pay (I mean your salary), position yourself there for like few minutes to see fellow Muslims you don't know, who may come with drugs prescription paper BUT can not afford to pay for all the drugs, then, use the 2k to pay for their medical bills and walk away.

If you do this or similar hidden acts, Wallahi right from this world, you will see.

*Many Muslims are suffering:*

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 poorer people.

On the above,

Almighty Allah will punish those on the Judgment Day who spend their wealth only on their families without giving the due right to the poor and needy people. 📚 Evidence in the Holy Quran: *“And those who hoard up gold, silver, dollar or Naira and do not spend in the Path of Allah then warn them of the painful torment.”* 📚(Quran, 9:34)

This reminds me,

Muhammad ibn Ishaq said that there were many households in Madinah who did not know where their sustenance came from. When Ali ibn Al-Husayn died, they missed what used to be given to them at night. Abu Hamza Ath-Thumali said that Ali bin Al-Husayn used to carry a bag of bread on his back at night and distribute it as charity. He used to say, Secret charity extinguishes the Lord’s anger. Amr bin Thabit said that when Ali bin Al-Husayn died and they washed him, they noticed black marks on his back. They then realized that he used to carry bags of food on his back at night and deliver them to the poor households of Medina.

My people!

Even if you spend all your monthly earnings and refused giving out something reasonable FISSABILILLAH, your financial problems will never come to end in life.

Besides,

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]

Unfortunately,

There are countless Muslims today who will rather choose to be short on the head to death, than giving out something from their money as sadaqah. This is a clear sign of a heart covered with a disease. May Allah (swt) continue to bless us with a softer heart HE do give to HIS sincere believers

To end this reminder,

It's good to 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. Yes. In the spiritual world, the more you give of what you value, the more your hearafter's savings account swells up.

Therefore,

I remind myself and you to prepare to be dropping something (reasonable) EVERYDAY inside Fissabilillah box in any masjid where we pray REGULARLY especially today (Friday) - for the running of the activities of the masjid & for the propagation of the religion of Allah in general. Yes. The rewards of SADAQAH in this hard time is bigger than huge & unquantifiable *(according to authentic hadith)*. Yes. The ONLY person who is EXCLUDED from giving is the person who have nothing at all to give.

We believe this worldly life is a test, hence the reason for so many trials and temptations. And this test include subjecting Muslims to poverty to see those who will hide under the canopy of hash economy and COMPLETELY abandon act of charity.
