*Shocking News*
------------------بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In a few days, a guest will knock on your door. His name is Ramadan. You have met him before. Like other times, he will not stay long. Thirty days at most. Then he leaves for another year.
The question is:
Will you let him leave you the same way you are today?
My People,
The Money in Your Pocket or Bank Account Is Not All Yours. Yes. Look inside your pocket. Open your bank app. See those numbers?
Now listen carefully. This might shock you.
Every single coin that enters your hand has a small piece that belongs to someone else. Yes. Someone who is not your wife. Not your husband. Not your child. Not your mother.
But for who?
A stranger. A poor person. Someone who asks. Someone who is too shy to ask.
Why?
Allah (swt) says in the Quran:
وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ
لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ
"And those in whose wealth there is a recognized right. For the one who asks, and for the deprived." 📚(70:24-25)
Did you catch that?
Allah did not say "those who give charity." He said "those in whose wealth there is a right."
Meaning: That money was never fully yours. Allah (swt) made you a trustee. A guardian. A temporary holder.
This is your test. Are you passing or failing?
My People,
When you give to the poor, you are not being generous. You are returning what already belonged to them.
But here is where shaytan tricks us.
He whispers: "Wait. You don't have enough yet. Give later. Give when you are rich. Give when you have extra. Give when your own family is completely comfortable."
And we listen. Year after year. Ramadan after Ramadan.
But let me tell you the truth: That time will never come.
Yes!
If you wait until you have "enough," you will wait forever😃. Because human desire is a bottomless ocean. Even if you own the whole world, you will still want more.
So if you wait to give until you feel "comfortable," your grave will visit you before your giving does.
Imagine this:
Only Allah (swt) knows
people who will go to sleep hungry even after Ramadan fast. Their children will cry from hunger. And there is nothing in their kitchen.
Now imagine you made it possible for someone who is not from your family to have ease in breaking his or her fast in any possible way you can, you are passing your test by giving the share of wealth which you are asked by Allah to keep for others outside your family and you are also getting double double double rewards.
Evidence:
The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: "Whoever gives iftar to one who is fasting will have a reward like his, without that detracting from the reward of the fasting person in the slightest." 📚(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 807; Ibn Majah, 1746. Classed as sahih by Ibn Hiban, 8/216 and by al-Albani in Sahih al-Jami’, 6415)
Think about that.
You feed one person. Just one. And Allah writes for you the full reward of their entire fast. All their hunger. All their thirst. All their patience. You get a copy of it. And they lose nothing.
This is not a business deal. This is Allah's generosity. He is begging you to take more reward.
Therefore,
Prepare your heart. Prepare your money. Prepare to make people you don't know smile in this year month of Ramadan.
Remember,
Outside your immediate family, there are people who have a cut from any penny that enters your pocket or Bank Account. And this is not raka'at. It's returning what belongs to people - as trustee.
