Parable of Spending in Allaah’s Cause
Allaah (سُبحانه
وتعالى) says:
مَّثَلُ
الَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ
أَنبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ سُنبُلَةٍ مِّئَةُ حَبَّةٍ وَاللّهُ
يُضَاعِفُ لِمَن يَشَاء وَاللّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
“The likeness of those
who spend their wealth in the Way of Allâh, is as the likeness of a grain (of
corn); it grows seven ears, & each ear has a hundred grains. Allâh gives
manifold increase to whom He pleases. And Allâh is All-Sufficient for His
creatures' needs, All-Knower.”
(Al-Baqarah 2:261)
This
is a parable that Allaah made of the multiplication of rewards for those who ...
Never underestimate even the smallest charity!
Upon the Authority of Abu Huraira (radiyallaahu ‘anhu)
who said:
The Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:
“No one gives Sadaqah from that which is
good – & Allaah only accepts that which is good – except that Ar Rahmaan
(The Most Beneficent) takes it with his right hand, even if it is a date. It is
then nurtured in the hand of Ar Rahmaan until it becomes greater than a mountain.
Just as one of you would nurture his colt or his young (weaned) Camel“
(Agreed
upon by Bukhaari (1344) & Muslim (1014)

“Two
angels descend every morning, & one says: ‘O Allaah, give him who
spends something, in place of what he spends.’ The
other one says: ‘O Allaah, give destruction
to him who withholds.”

Asking Allaah for Taqwa & Purification of the Soul
(اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا ،
وَزَكِّها أنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا ، أنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلاَهَا)
“O Allaah, grant my soul taqwa & purify it, You are the Best of those who purify it, You are its Protecting Friend & Guardian / Master.”
Haadith in English:
Zaid bin Arqam reported: I am not going
to say anything but only that which Allaah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) used to say. He used
to supplicate:
“O Allaah, I seek refuge in Thee from incapacity, from sloth, from
cowardice, from miserliness, decrepitude & from torment of the grave.”
“O Allaah, grant to my
soul the sense of righteousness & purify it, for Thou art the Best Purifier
thereof. Thou art the Protecting Friend & Guardian thereof.”
(اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا ،
وَزَكِّها أنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا ، أنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلاَهَا)
“O Allaah, I seek refuge in Thee from the knowledge which does not
benefit, from the heart that does not entertain the fear (of Allaah), from the
soul that does not feel contented and the supplication that is not responded.”
[Book Pertaining to the
Remembrance of Allaah, Supplication, Repentance & Seeking Forgiveness - Hadith

The Truth Shines Forth
Imaam
Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab (Rahimahullaah)
“Know first that if the truth shines forth & is clear, it is
not harmed by the large numbers who oppose it & the small numbers who agree
with it. You know how some aspects of Tawheed have become strange,
although they are clearer than the prayer & fasting; & that [strangeness]
does not harm it at all.”
