Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu lillahi Hamdan cathedra on
the human Malala confy Mubarak and Ali, gamma your head Baba Yaga
Jalla Jalla who I'm in our was salatu salam ala say you will have
even Mustafa SallAllahu taala. Either you are either early he or
Safi or Baraka was seldom at the Sleeman Cathedral on July 18, a
mother earth, my dear respected friends.
I'm gonna be dealing with a topic today, which is probably hardly
ever covered independently. But I think it's important because it's
something that
characterizes a human being positively or negatively.
What I want to speak about today is miserliness or stinginess,
miserliness, some stinginess has got to do with so many things
related to us.
Sadaqa,
mutual assistance, friendship, companionship, gifting, giving our
time charity all of that is related to this topic.
And unfortunately, this topic isn't covered in the we talk about
fundraising, we talk about virtue of charity.
But my silliness and stinginess is actually the disease.
It's haram to have miserliness is haram to have stinginess.
Just like It's haram to lie, and to miss a prayer, it's actually
haram to be stingy. It's one of the traits of the huts that
are very serious and critical. So firstly, we're going to try to
define it first. What is my sin? So we're all on the same page.
What is miserliness? What is stinginess? And then in sha Allah
will focus on trying to find a cure for it from our Quran sunnah
Allah subhanho wa Taala says, whether you can show Hanif See he,
for Allah eco homophily, Hone, those who have been given or
protected from negative leanness, who have been protected from this.
greed of the the heart, the greed of the soul of the body of the
person show,
then
such people are truly the successful ones. In Arabic the
word for bottle.
The word for miserliness is bottle or Ducati
Ducati IV, or bottle, two words we got.
It's a trait which is embedded in the soul. And its function is to
hold a person from giving giving his wealth or time or whatever. In
situations where spending is either necessary.
Either based on Sharia law, it's necessary or due to ethics of the
society or chivalry or good social companionship. So let me define
that again. This is what you call miserliness. miserliness is that
trait, a characteristic in the soul, which
stops a person from spending and with, which basically makes the
person withhold their time, effort, wealth,
and to spend it
from spending it in where it's necessary to spend it. Now,
there's two places where it's necessary to spend wealth, either
because the Sharia tells us to spend it, like for example,
so the Casa cat, right? Or when common decency tells us to spend,
for example, neighbors constantly giving us something they're
sending some more SuperCoder everyday
and you're just enjoying them and there's no reciprocation.
Why not? Why is there no reciprocation?
That's something to decide what is it based on? That's due to common
decency you know, common chivalry
Oh, it's like the example a simple example.
You're always going out with your friends to eat
and they're always paying and you seem to go to the toilet to wash
your hands. When the time comes to pay. You don't even pretend to pay
you don't even pull out your wallet to say let me pay let me
pay
it's just not even there. Maybe once it's okay or twice it's okay.
But every time you are somewhere else when it comes time to pay
so in a discussion of money comes in you slip out somewhere
To be honest, you know, when it comes to feeding people, when you
understand the virtues of feeding people, I mean, I would say that
natural by nature, I am maybe a bit stingy. But when I learned
some of the virtues of spending, especially to feed somebody,
then you want to go and make sure that your money is the one that's
used to feed people. It's a big difference.
There's a big virtue in spending. In feeding somebody says one of
the greatest sadaqa is that you feed a hungry soul to hungry
liver.
Okay, now to move on.
The most severe type of miserliness, there's a severe type
and then of course, there's lighter types, but the most severe
type of miserliness is when a person holds back from spending
even on themselves.
That is not they don't have any money they just stocking up the
money they're watching the bank balance grow, but they
they don't spend even on having decent clothing. They don't they
it's not like they're trying to have clothing like oh my God,
Allah, one who didn't have money who refused to have money, and
what patches on his clothes. This is just an out of stinginess, they
want to die with a good big, big bank balance. There's people like
that you'd be surprised. They're not willing to spend.
And then they will die and everybody will use that money.
That's the worst kind where you can't even spend on your own self.
This
the person needs medicine is unwilling to get medicine
unwilling to get treatment because you have to pay for it. Now No,
generally treatment in this country is free. But in many
countries around the world you have to pay for pay is not willing
is not willing to go and it's not talking about a light cold is not
willing to go to a doctor. So I know there's a serious problem is
unwilling.
That's the worst. This is term show, like extreme greed of the
heart. Extreme miserliness. That's why Allah says that we have is
protected from the naked leanness of his soul, then he is the one
who is truly successful. And Allah subhanho wa Taala also says, Let's
not those who prove stingy with what Allah grants them from His
bounty
reckon that such behavior is good for them.
But who shall rule let them remain rather it is bad for them.
So you don't walk back it will be here multi Yama.
He says,
the evil consequence of their stinginess shall be cast firmly
upon them as chains around their necks on Resurrection Day.
So don't think that it's good for you to withhold money.
Let the pipeline clean itself and you open up and you start
spending. The pipeline gets cleaned, Allah will always I mean,
tell me is that anybody who spent on someone who's invited somebody
over for food, who's fed somebody in a restaurant, whatever, and
then felt bad about it.
This is really strange, but research shows that by spending,
you get happy.
Spending gives you satisfaction, giving gives you satisfaction more
than taking.
It's amazing. This is research that shows that there's a book
we're publishing soon, it's called the thinking Person's Guide to
happiness by Prince Razi. He argues the same thing in there he
makes a distinction between joy, happiness,
and a number of other feelings. And he shows how happiness is
linked to giving.
And giving anybody who continuously gives then in the
hereafter he will be given as Allah says Allah and Ramesh Ruth,
a continuous giving Allah will give you in the hereafter. But
that's if you've been continually giving in this world, whether that
be with your wealth or your time or your efforts, and helping
others to go back to our discussion.
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Bakr, Siddiq, or the hola
Juan, it's in sunnah telemovie that the messenger of allah
sallallahu sallam said the following people will not enter
paradise. Right the following people, a treacherous person,
right, somebody who's already stretched you can't trust them.
Number two, a miser, the stingy one.
Why do you think a miser went into paradise? Not because he's just
not because he's got the trait of miserliness, but because he hasn't
rectified it. He hasn't cured it, and thus it stopped him from
paying where he's supposed to pay. It's made him withhold zakat,
withhold charity, there are people dying around him and he did not he
was not concerned. So people are born miserly some people. This is
God given this is a trait from God that some people
As my some families are known to be miserly, right, some tribes are
known to be miserly.
Right. And some combs are known to be very generous.
I've seen in some people, they're just extremely generous. And you
see the father, he's very generous as well. But sometimes you'll have
it where the father is very miserly, the son is very generous.
It's a natural thing that is placed in the hearts, that some
people are just very generous. Some people are a bit tight or
miserly. But what is important for everybody is to work on it, for
the very generous not to be swindled and not to spend in the
wrong and not to be misled. And for those who are miserly to open
up their hearts, and to spend and go against that. That's the
challenge. That's the individual challenge. And everybody knows
about themselves.
How easy it is, when we walk out of the machine is somebody
collecting money.
Can you easily put in your hand in your pocket and pull out a tampon
and just give it in thinking Allah is gonna give it back to me, I
know it's 10 pound, but Allah is gonna give it back to me, he's
gonna give me a lot back.
The complex here is that if I'm miserly, I'm not going to spend, I
can never see the benefits of spending, then I will never see
that money coming back, because I don't spend, I'm too frightened to
spend.
But believe me, you put a hand on your heart, and you spend, you
will see that money coming back, you'll see the bottle COVID that
will encourage you from spending, but you're gonna have to take that
on belief, you're going to have to take that from other people's
experiences that that's the case, otherwise, you will never spend
because you're just never going to see the benefit of it coming back
to you.
But this is what the media tells us to do take that risk for the
sake of Allah, because he knows it's not a risk.
It's only a risk in our mind.
So the first person who's not going to interpret is the
treacherous person because his actions are going to eventually
lead him to be deprived. Likewise, a miser and number three, the one
who gives and then reminds people about their favors about his
favor. I did definitely you know, helping me now.
I went out of my way to do that. I mean, sometimes you do if there's
the person opposite, who you've done something good for and they
just don't do that grateful. Sometimes you do have to remind
those kinds of people for their benefit, not for your sake. But if
you're trying to take undue benefit from helping somebody
which you should have done for Allah, then that is what the
person is who does men in Arabic is called man to remind somebody
of a favor. favors should be done for Allah and then you should
forget about them. Whether that person gives you back or not,
Allah will give you
numerous
verses and a hadith regarding the blameworthiness of miserliness.
Right have been transmitted from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam and from Allah subhanaw taala that's why the prophets of
Allah Islam says In another Hadith, I'll just mention a few of
the hadith is another Hadith from telemovie. That there's two vices,
two evil traits that can never be combined together in a believer.
You can't have a believer who has too bad these particular two bad
traits, one is miserliness. Number two is ill mannered disposition
by the HELOC and miserliness a person who's a believer can't have
both of the might have one of these, but he cannot have both of
these things. If he does, that means his Iman is in severe doubt
that a person is ill mannered by the flock and miserliness on top
of it. You know, there's some people are very bad manners, but
they're very generous.
It kind of helps tolerate them.
But to be bad mannered and miserly, yeah Allah that a
believer can have is this what you're saying? So to say the
person is not a believer anymore, but he's saying that that is not a
believer. That's not what a believer should be like.
The prophets Allah some also said In another Hadith by Abu Dawood,
the most despicable traits a man can possess was characteristics
are
restless Nygard, leanness,
basically miserliness and a person who is restless, always in haste
and he's also miserly and number two debilitating cowardice.
very extreme level of cowardliness.
Not willing to take a brave step at all.
Restless Nicholas meaning miserliness that makes one so avid
for his wealth or time or energy, that he becomes restless and
uneasy at the mere prospect of giving any of that away, or using
those things on others. So if somebody asks you, you like a fish
out of water,
you don't even like to be asked. You may even break your
relationship with that person.
for asking you for a donation.
The state of such a person is so negative that bishop Abdulhadi
Hill haffi, one of our great
ascetics of the past he commented that just looking at a miser will
harden the heart.
They're very bad influence Miserly people. Now we're going to break
it down a bit. And we're going to say whether miserliness is haram
or mcru. Right? We're going to give you the exact rulings the
shape is going to give you the exact rulings of
whether miserliness is haram or just mcru or otherwise. He says
that if the miserliness entails contravening the sacred law, then
it is haram. How would that be withholding zakat? For example,
your contravening the laws, the cat, the cat is wajib. Fourth,
then that's haram. If it goes against contravening common
decency and chivalry, then it is Mackenzie,
Mackenzie, but you're going to put a lot of people off, I guess, a
miser.
So whoever fulfills the requisites of the sacred sacred law and the
requisites of chivalry. So you give zakat and you give sadaqa,
and you spend where you have to spend with your neighbors and
friends and family. Right? Everybody gives your children, Ed,
but you don't give to anybody. Because you say it's a bit of a
justification, but you take it.
Now, if it's a bit out, please, nobody gives my children Ed
because it's a bit.
It's not a bit I mean, unless you unless you think it's obligatory,
then it could be a bit, right because not necessary. It's nice.
That's what people don't. So you take but you don't give.
When it was your wedding, everybody gave you you raised 5000
pounds. Because everybody gave you a wedding gift. When you go to
weddings, you don't give anybody a gift. Because you think it's not
necessary. But you took everybody else's. So really fine line
between those. The point is correct your intention when you do
it.
Do something good for them.
The herd don't to hobble, give mutually give gifts to one another
and it will create mutual love. The wording that Allah's Messenger
SallAllahu Sallam uses the herd, though, which means mutually give
gifts. So if I keep receiving gifts, then I should give back.
Because that's what the author is saying you do the same, just give
it he's saying. If you take it then give it as well. It has to be
a mutual thing. That's how societies work.
This is basically a building block of society, how we learn from one
another and develop relationships. Anybody who fulfills the
requisites of sacred law and the requisites of chivalry, meaning he
spends where he's supposed to the suitable to their situation, I
mean, how much you spend, this depends on the situation, then
that person has absolve themselves of miserliness requisites of the
sacred law, he's going to go into detail now, requisites of the
sacred law include zakat, so the cattle feta which unnecessary and
then they also,
there's also other parts where Shelia tells you to spend husbands
spending on the wife, parents spending on children.
And if the parents are debilitated, and the children who
are working spending on their parents, right, that's all part of
generosity, a community organizing, organization, spending
on community efforts that are necessary.
That's also part of this.
There are machines sitting on 1000s, hundreds of 1000s, massive
portfolios and assets, and they can't spend. In fact, the idea is
that
we work very hard to make this money, we must protect it. I tell
them that it's haram for you to keep that money in your store in
your balance. That money is people's money to do the work of
Allah with not to store it, not to just buy extra properties and
generate more income you're not a business. You're a charity, you're
not a bank, to banks are who are supposed to hold money for people,
but they use your money and they make more money for themselves.
This is what some massages are doing some community you're gonna
get a lot of money but they're not willing to do they just have the
okay they have good toilets, and you know, they have a warm place,
but that's it. They don't do anything more. They don't know how
to do it. And because of that, they just hold on to the money.
And they don't understand that this money. If you spend it on
people on for the sake of Allah, Allah will give you when you need
it.
People don't get that and there's
Other massage it was struggling but doing so much great work. They
don't have any money they just about manage, but Allah provides
them records it. So we mentioned that requisites of chivalry now,
requisites of common decency that include voluntary charity and
gifts to relatives, neighbors and friends. That's all part of common
decency to give gifts to neighbors, friends, and so on.
What is the opposite of miserliness, then?
To give a good understanding of maintenance, you have to look at
the opposite. The opposite is called Jude, or Sahar in Arabic.
These are the two terms Jude and Zaha which means generosity. How
do you define generosity now,
this is a trait of the self that leads one to spend wealth above
and beyond what is mandatory,
for the sake of being rewarded, or to attain the merit of being
generous. Or for the sake of purifying the soul from the vise
of miserliness. Not for any other motive. You're not doing it to be
called Good. You're not doing it, so they will give you back, you're
doing it for one of three things. This is what you call dude. It's
spending beyond what's necessary. If I have to give zakat and I
spent the I'm not, I'm not being generous. I'm being generous if I
give voluntary charity,
right. If I have to spend on my wife, that's not generosity,
that's just normal spending. But I have to spend on my children and
their school clothing and everything and the basic food of
the house. That's not generosity, generosity, when I go above that,
but what should be my intention,
spending above what is mandatory to get throw up reward, number
one, number two,
for a person to receive the virtue of being virtuous.
You know, it says all of the all of the blessings and virtues that
are mentioned in the Quran, Hadith about people who spend you want to
attain that you're not focused on reward, you just want to be I want
to be one of those people.
That's number two. And number three, you're doing it as a cure
for your miserliness. So you force yourself to spend because you feel
your ties. These are the three good ways of spending this is what
you call Jude and Sahar or generosity. But in all of this,
you have to avoid wastefulness. There's people who will pay their
children anything.
And then their children stand on their head.
Because they just keep giving, giving, giving. They don't. They
think that's good. That's not good. Everything has to be
moderated. In Sharia, everything is moderated.
The highest level of generosity then we talked about the worst
level of negativeness. Now the highest level of generosity is to
prefer others over oneself, which has mentioned in the Quran, you've
thrown other unforeseen one, okay, on the beam Kasasa. One is that
I've got something
and I've got enough for myself and I give x I give to you as well. So
we both have, the other one is I only have enough to give you or me
and I give you
that's the highest level of generosity, only the very few will
be able to do that one. That's what you call ethos. Namely, to
spend wealth despite needing it. Allah subhanaw taala says they
prefer others over themselves even though even if they themselves are
in need. It is narrated on the authority of Aisha Radi Allahu
Allah the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, The Willie,
the friend of Allah
is not inclined towards anything except generosity and a pleasant
personality. total opposite of the other Hadith, this is related
retable Sheikh,
the way of Allah you can tell that he's going to be generous, and
he's gonna have very good character.
That's what you're called a true believer and a friend of Allah
Allah loves people who give to others.
What is the cure for miserliness, by the way? Now he tells us the
cure for miserliness. The cure for miserliness is a lot of reflection
on the narrations, the Hadith, that have come regarding its
blameworthiness.
Think of all of those are Hadith, that tell and the Quran verses
which tell you how bad it is to be a miser.
In fact, Elijah health, one of the great literature, scholars of the
past, he wrote a book called kita, Boo Boo holla,
the book of the Mises, he's got all the stories of Mises and what
happened to them because of their miserliness. Somebody's got a
problem, they should read that book. In fact, it'd be useful for
all of us to benefit from that. So to look at the verses and the is
the Hadith that tell about the blameworthiness of miserliness,
and that mentioned the praise worthiness of generosity and to
think about the immense punishment that Allah has
threaten for miserliness do I want that punishment? No. So to keep
reading that and reflecting over that, that will help to ease that
constraint in the heart will help to open up the heart and open up
the hands as well.
For indeed,
other beneficial treatments include reflection on the state of
misers. I mean, everybody must know a miser, like I'm sure
everybody can think about unfortunately, everybody can
probably think about somebody they know who's a bit of a miser.
Now, doesn't that put you off? If that puts you off, then if we're a
miser as well then shouldn't that put others off as well? So he's
saying that
reflect over the state of Mises and your natural disregard for
them, even if you're a miser yourself, you will hate other
Mises. Even though you're a miser yourself, you'll hate other Mises
because there's a natural disregard human beings have.
Nobody loves Mises. And they own distaste for miserliness, for
indeed, there is no miser except that he himself hates miserliness
in others, and finds companionship with some people to be burdensome.
You don't want to go out with them. No, he doesn't spend, I have
to only spend and if you're amazing never go with somebody
like that, because there's going to be a competition of who doesn't
spend.
That is what you caught that is the cure for it, to focus and
reflect over that and how bad it is. And then just a few more
points,
preference for others ethos going back to that point, it applies to
all the blessings and not solely wealth, right. shocky Coble, he
once asked him Jaffa sodic, about photo this is, ether is like for
two words in Arabic, right, which is called spiritual chivalry.
He said that what do you think? If a person has for to spiritual
chivalry?
What should that entail? What should that do to a person?
So shocking said
that if we are given blessings, we are grateful. And if blessings are
held back we prove patient. So if we've got blessings, if Allah
gives us blessings, then we're thankful for it. And if we don't
have blessings, and we're in a tough situation with a patient,
that is what photo he tried to define for tours that so Jaffa
Sadiq, Rahim Allah, he said
that is how the our dogs in Medina, how can you call that
photo? Because the dogs if they get something, they're very
there'll be very grateful to their master and if they don't get
they're just patient. That's how dogs are. That's a natural trait
in dogs. He said, the dogs in Madina Munawwara like that. So how
can you say that's the definition here?
And then he said so shocky cost Oh grandson of Allah is missing
because remember him on Jafra Sadiq is the grandson of value to
the Allah one, right? He's in his progeny, says Oh, grandson of
Allah's Messenger SallAllahu sallam. What then is spiritual
chivalry, according to you? How do you define it?
So he replied, that if we are given blessings, we're not only
grateful, but we prefer others over us.
We prefer others over us.
And if blessings are held back, then we're still grateful. We
don't just tolerate what we're still grateful for the other times
we have it. That's a higher level.
May Allah give us this bishop or haffi, Bishop Abdulhadi. Somehow
he was once seen on a freezing day shivering. And without his winter
coat, or whatever you they used to say in those days. He was asked,
Oh, I will NASA. People search for warm clothes on such a day. You
take yours off? Like why aren't you wearing a coat on this day?
He replied, I thought of the indigent, I thought of the poor
people and what they are going through. And I did not have enough
wealth to provide warm clothing to them.
I don't have enough money to give them. So I wanted to be with them
in solidarity. As they experience a bitter winter. I want to
experience the same so at least they feel like somebody else is
experienced the same thing with them.
This is Rasulullah Salallahu Salam millions were coming through his
hands.
But he preferred to remain a poor person.
Only eating dates and water for many for long periods of time. So
that even the poorest person in Madina Munawwara could relate to
him that this is my profit. I don't have he doesn't have either.
That's what you call the characteristic of a true leader.
May Allah make us give us those things?
In fact, what's mentioned is that
you know, when you give to others,
you're going to get the baraka that Allah is going to repay you.
Allah is going to repay you, when you give to others, especially if
you need yourself and you give to others, Allah is gonna give you
many fold in return. But again, it's just one of those complexes.
If we could experience it, everybody would give Oh, I'm gonna
get back anyway, let me give it
right. That's how you know these scam artists, this is how they do
it.
They say this is a wonderful investment opportunity. And you
give a bit of money 100 pound first, and within two weeks, he
gives you a return.
So then you give him 500 pounds, because now you're gonna get
greedy, I've got a return it's proven now. So for a few cycles,
they give you returns. And then when he this has happened, I mean,
I can give you three examples in my mind right now people have done
the same thing.
And you just wait for six months and huge amount of investment will
be made with this person because everybody's saying man he's giving
me 10% return in two months
you know, the average is 5% return is a good 10% in two months, not
5% A year you're gonna Yeah, let me put money in there as well. I'm
gonna put all my savings in there. And then the guy goes disappears
I know three cases like this.
Right But there you actually see it that's why you pay you put the
money in. Allah tells us and His word should be as good as anything
and he's never going to swindle us.
My Ukraine doula Cardin Hassan, for your daughter if a hula, other
alfen kathira.
And
true prophetic generosity, you know, how was the generosity of
the Prophet sallallahu sallam, it is not limited to money, but
extends to one time, one's time, energy and even attention. This is
called generosity of the soul. There's a lot of people out there
who have no time. And they'll say, You know what, just take this
money.
Right? They don't have the time. If you listen to a lot of these
guys that tell us even non Muslim
efficiency trainers that tell you how to be the most productive CEO
of a company, Simon Sinek, right.
Say that what really matters is not that you send somebody a gift,
but it's that you give them a call. It's not that you send
somebody a text message. Or,
you know, when Ramadan began, I got a ton of WhatsApp pictures. I
ignore every single one of them, I didn't respond to a single one.
Those are just broadcasts, I don't care about them.
It's a touch of a button. I don't care about that. I didn't respond
to a single one of those. But if somebody sent me a written message
that I saw was not a cookie cut generic message then I responded
to them.
Because that's just what is that what are you doing? Is it become
just the press of a button and you send this nice little video odds,
right that says Eid Mubarak at the end or Ramadan Mubarak event,
you're filling the inbox up,
send a personal message that's going to make a difference.
I just sent some messages, a voice recording and not even a typed I
voice record message and send to people in other country. Because
when I went to that country that hosted me, and we haven't had any
communication for a one and a half years, and I could see they had
really really appreciated it, you know, for somebody to remember
somebody and then not just write a few words or whatever, to actually
go and record a voice message make it as personal as possible. I
think that's what makes the difference.
So yes, if you send me forwards for Ramadan Mubarak, don't,
because I just think it's a waste of time. I don't see any I mean,
you may be genuine, Allah will reward you for that. But for me, I
just think it's too easy, man.
Maybe that's just my problem. But I
think there's somebody to think about. I will say that horas he
notes that
it is not in the nature of a believer to say no. That is when
being requested for something I mean, a believer would never say
no, I mean that's not generally how believers should be when they
got so much trust in Allah and so on right.
And then Sheikh Mustafa, Allah Roc he explains that this pertains to
the believer with perfected faith, since that is the way of Rasul
Allah Saracen to never say no.
So Imam Zakaria on Saudi he says that the predominant nature of a
believer is that they will never say no. And
the reason is that when somebody asks for something, immediately
their focus goes
Isn't Allah that Allah gives me all of this? This is all given to
me by Allah. Why can I give? Whereas a person was miserly and
doesn't connect himself to Allah then isn't this is mine? How can I
give you?
We ask Allah subhana wa Tala to open up our hearts. This was not a
fundraising talk. I don't think you've got a fundraising project.
But it would be a nice time to actually start collecting money, I
think. Right? Because I mean, that's, that was our discussion.
But I would just say that look, if we've got a mic, because I'm
telling you from experience, what helps is, is just to give a huge
amount, that is the best cure for miserliness. If you're used to
giving five pounds, give 20 pounds, once or twice, you will
find that you will not miss that 20 pounds, you will not miss it.
And just make it that everyday there's a martial law people come
to collect money every day, I think nearly after every prayer.
So at least make it a habit. Now, set some money aside, put it in
your wallet or whatever and everyday you know, give the 10
pounds, you know, Sunday gonna be 110 pound a day, it's going to be
three 300 pounds in the you know in for your month. That's not much
money. If you've got that kind of money. It's not everybody knows if
they've got the money or not spending in Ramadan, if it's
sadaqa, you're gonna get the reward of as a cat. If you give us
the cat, you're gonna get 70 times a reward. It's just a no brainer,
isn't it? And then the fact that Allah subhanaw taala is going to
give you back and easily and then psychologically, you're going to
be satisfied because you've helped somebody. So we ask Allah subhanaw
taala to relieve our miserliness because the Prophet salallahu
Salam it says in the Hadith and Shamel that the most most generous
that he was, he was very generous but even more generous in Ramadan
because he used to meet with Jibreel it Sundays to read the
Quran to each other used to be even so in a Quran has been
reciting tarawih and so on, then that should make us even more
generous working with that one and hamdulillahi rabbil Alameen

you for your full of mercy of Allah your mercy is and

Allah, we ask that you drench us in this of Allah that you do not

whatever it takes for you. of Allah grant us love for your

or Allah allow us to fulfill our rights both to the Sharia and to
our whoever is owed rights by us. Oh Allah, if we have anything
outstanding. If we have any debts to pay, Oh Allah, we ask that you
help us to repay them, or Allah protect us from debilitating debts
and from anything that overcomes us in this nature of Allah we ask
for you for ease in this world but especially ease in the hereafter
make us of those who are considered generous. Remove the
characteristic of boggle from our hearts of miserliness. From our
hearts and from our families. Oh Allah, we ask that You grant us
the ability to do as many good deeds as possible in all forms,
that in which they exist. Oh Allah bless all of us during this month
of Ramadan, make this Ramadan
better than any Ramadan before it. And Allah grant us more closeness
to you than we've ever been before. But Allah Above all, keep
us close to you and do not let us drop back to where we were before
the month had started. Oh Allah except our deeds, and send your
abundant blessings on our messenger Muhammad sallallahu
