MaShaAllah! By giving you receive

[Khalidbinwaleed]

By giving you receive​

​

Give to others for it will be returned to you even more. By giving, you never deplete your wealth, in fact, you actually increase it. And you also receive rewards for the hereafter. However, by not giving you don't receive the rewards from the almighty, and thus your wealth actually decreases.

Allah s.w.t loves to give and will not allow you to be more generous than Him. Verily, Allah is most generous and all knowing. Nothing escapes his sight. Nothing happens without it being recorded in a book. Nothing happens but that Allah rewards us for our good deeds.

Allah says in the glorious Qur'an: The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing. [al-Baqara 2: 261]

Allah further mentions: Lend unto God a goodly loan. Whatever good you shall forward on your behalf you shall find it with God, as better and richer in reward. [al-Muzzammil 73: 20]

So continue giving and never stop. When you feel like you are doing more than others, think of the health, wisdom, family and Islam that Allah has given you. Think of eternal paradise that He will reward you with. Allah gave this universe existence without anything in return. He will continue to give because He is Allah; one of His names being most-generous. So when you see someone in need for help know that the almighty may be testing your generosity. And your sustenance depends on charity.

Prophet Muhammad s.a.w says: “Attract sustenance by giving charity.” Among the many benefits of charity, it removes evil that is in our way. It has many benefits that we don't think of. So give and it shall be given to you.

Charity can be given in many different ways. Lets reflect on the following saying of prophet Muhammad s.a.w:

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Every Muslim has to give in charity." The people then asked: "(But what) if someone has nothing to give, what should he do?" The Prophet replied: "He should work with his hands and benefit himself and also give in charity (from what he earns)." The people further asked: "If he cannot find even that?" He replied: "He should help the needy who appeal for help." Then the people asked: "If he cannot do (even) that?" The Prophet said finally: "Then he should perform good deeds and keep away from evil deeds, and that will be regarded as charitable deeds." - Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 2, Hadith 524

So give and it shall be given back to you, many fold!
