SINCERE Charity (Sadaqah) is a guaranteed investment and Increases Wealth

One of the door that Allah has opened to His slaves to gain big rewards in the month ramadan is through sadaqa (giving charity/alms).

 Islam always advise it’s followers to give plenty of charities, especially during the month Ramadan. And that supposes to be the manner of believers; generous. 

Allah and His messenger ordered, even gave example to the followers of Islam to be a generous and open-handed person. Know that generosity is one of the attribute of Allah the Exalted, as revealed in hadith below:
ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ﺟﻮﺍﺩ ﻳﺤﺐ ﺍﻟﺠﻮﺩ ﻭﻳﺤﺐ ﻣﻌﺎﻟﻲ
ﺍﻷﺧﻼﻕ ﻭﻳﻜﺮﻩ ﺳﻔﺴﺎﻓﻬﺎ
“Indeed, Allah the Exalted is the Giver, He love generosity and noble manners, He detest bad manners.” (Narrated by Al Baihaqi, classed sahih by Al Albani in 'Shahihul Jami’, 1744)

Allah says in the Holy Qur'an:
"Who will loan to Allah a beautiful loan which Allah will double unto his/her credit and multiply it many times? 2:245.

The above verse teaches us that by generously giving to the poor and needy, Allah will increase our wealth and blessings in this life, wipe out sin, increase reward and provide shade on the Day of Judgment and more in shaa Allah. What more could we ask for?

 Money back, profit, good health, barakah (blessings) in our wealth, shade on the Day of Judgement, sadaqah is definitely the best investment for our dunya and aakhira.

Forget about special offers, reduced prices and buy one get one free deals, a productive Muslim knows the ultimate best way to spend his/her wealth in the way of Allah.

Sadaqah is a means of gaining barakah(blessings) in our wealth or income. It may be hard for us to give sadaqah when we are barely able to make ends meet. However, it is reported in Sahih Muslim that the Prophet  said: Charity does not decrease the wealth and the servant who forgives, Allah adds to his respect; and the one who shows humility, Allah elevates him in the estimation (of the people).

If we truly believe and apply these hadiths, we will come to learn that we can never lose from giving sadaqah, but instead we gain immensely from it. 

However, gaining from sadaqah may not always be in a physical form. When we give sadaqah, it doesn’t necessarily mean that our salaries will increase or we will miraculously stumble upon a goldmine. It may mean that Allah will put barakah(blessings) into our wealth and possessions instead. 

By regularly giving sadaqah, we will quickly notice that although we are still spending the same amount of money on the same expenses, 

we will still have plenty left in shaa Allah. TO BE CONTINUED. MAY ALLAH KEEP GUIDING US ALL AND BLESS US WITH THE LITTLE CHARITY WE GIVE. Aameen.
