Shodaqoh...almsgiving in Islamic way..

“The parable of those who spend their substance in the way of Allah is that if grain of corn: it growth seven ears, and each ear hath a hundred grains. Allah giveth manifold increase to whom HE pleaseth: and Allah careth for all and HE knoweth all things.” (Al Baqarah : 261)


Yeeaaaahhhhhh it is the DATE…
The DATE everybody looking for…. 25th in every month…
The payment day…..

What may come in your mind….
Doni finally can buy the gadget he really wants….the new iPad2
Yasmin directly goes to the travel agent to issue her return ticket to Sydney…
Sisca and Dini will shop til drop in Singapore….

With no tone voice, Tono the office boy said, “I never have this money long-lasting for a week…there are some bills wait for me to pay. But thanks God I still can help my needed neighbor and spent 2.5% for my zakat.”

Tono believes that part of his money is belongs to others…

He also believes that alms can provide a lot of virtues that facilitate road provision, prevent us from disasters/accident, delay the arrival of death, reassuring, and so forth.

If you are using math in this case it won't work...in fact Tono can still live and provide the food or clothes for his family...subhanallah Holy God Almighty...


Indeed, a small thing like smile even can be called shodaqoh. Every good act is an act of charity. Ordering good deeds is a charitable act. Forbidding evil is a charitable act. Helping a man who has bad eyesight to see things is a charitable act. Removing a stone, rubbish or bones is a charitable act. Emptying your cup in the cup of your brother is a charitable act.”

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Your smile for your brother is a charity." (narrated by Bukhari).
 
You don’t need to be rich to be an almoner…
it is the WILL
Giving won’t make you bankrupt but in the other hand it even makes you wealthy and healthy…


ALLAH will give you more from the way that you never expected if you do the alms only to get HIS blessing…
