The likeness of those who spend for Allahs sake is as the

l ikeness o f a grain of corn , it grows seven ears every sing le ear

has a hundred g rains, and Al lah mult ip l ies (increases the

reward of) for whom He wil ls , and A l lah is suff ic ient for His

creatures needs, All-Knower). (Quran, 2:261)

Those who (in charity) spend of their goods by night and byday, in secret and in pub l ic have their reward w ith their Rabb

(on ly God and Sustainer). On them shal l be no fear nor sh all

they grieve. (Quran, 2:274)

What if we have no wealth to give

from?

Abu Hurairahnarrated that Abu Dharr said to the Messenger of Allah, The

wealthy people have al l the rewards; they pray as w e pray; they fast as w e fast ;

and they have surp lus wealth wh ich they give in chari ty; but we have no wealth

which we may give in charity. Allahs Messenger (s.a.w.s.) said: Abu Dharr,

shou ld I not teach you phrases by wh ich you acquire the rank of those who

excel you? No one can acquire your rank except one who acts like you. He

said, Why not, Allahs Messenger (s.a.w.s.)? He said:Exalt Allah say: AllahuAkbar" (Al lah is Most Great) after each prayer thir ty -three times; and praise

Him say: Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to Allah) thirty-three t imes; and glor i fy

Him say: Subhan Allah" (Glory be to Allah) thirty- three times; and end it by

saying, La ilha illallhu wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul

hamdu yuhyi wa yomeetu wa Huwa ala kulli shaiin Qadeer. ( There is no god

but Al lah alone, He has no partner, to Him belongs the King dom , to Him praise

is due and He has power over everyth ing.) Your sins w i l l be forgiven, even if

they are like the foam of the sea. (Abu Dawud 1499)


26/33

What if we have no wealth to give from?

Abu Musa narrated that the Prophet (s.a.w.s.)said, Every Muslim has to

give in sadaqah (charity). The people asked, O Allahs Messenger

(s.a.w.s.)! If someone has nothing to give, what will he do?

He said, He should work with his hands and benefit himself and also

give in charity (from what he earns). The people further asked, If hecannot do even that? He replied, Then he should help the needy who

appeal for help. Then the people asked, If he cannot do that? He

replied, Then he should perform all that is good and keep away from

all that is evil and this will be regarded as charitable deeds. (Bukhari

Vol. 2, Hadith 524)
