Brothers and sisters in Islam, what is the

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

relationship between charity and the Quran?

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

Ibn Abbas radiallahu anhu narrated and he said,

00:00:09 --> 00:00:12

can Nabi sallallahu alaihi wasallam

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17

was the most generous when it came to

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

good. So that's not only with his wealth,

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

but with his time, with his advice, with

00:00:22 --> 00:00:23

his knowledge and so many things. He was

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

so generous salallahu alayhi wasalam.

00:00:26 --> 00:00:27

Then Ibn

00:00:30 --> 00:00:30

Abbas

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

said

00:00:35 --> 00:00:39

and during Ramadan he was the most generous,

00:00:39 --> 00:00:42

especially when Jibril would meet up with him

00:00:42 --> 00:00:46

and revise and review the Quran with him.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:46

And

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

as a result Nabi

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

generosity

00:00:55 --> 00:00:59

was a lot more than the strong uncontrollable

00:01:00 --> 00:01:00

wind.

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

Now I want you to pay attention to

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

the middle part of this hadith where Abin

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

Abba

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

says he used to that Nabi was

00:01:10 --> 00:01:10

most

00:01:11 --> 00:01:11

generous

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15

when Jibril would recite the Quran and review

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

the Quran with him. Do you see a

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

relationship here?

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

The more you read Quran, the more you

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

ponder over the Quran

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

and the more you contemplate the Quran and

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

practice it in your life,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

the more and more you will give

00:01:30 --> 00:01:33

and giving from that which you have is

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

a detachment from this worldly life.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

When you when you become generous with your

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

wealth and with materialistic

00:01:41 --> 00:01:41

matters,

00:01:42 --> 00:01:45

you are slowly and slowly detaching from this

00:01:46 --> 00:01:46

worldly life,

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

and if you detach from this worldly life

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

you are coming closer and closer to the

00:01:52 --> 00:01:52

afterlife

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

and that is the reality of the Quran.

00:01:56 --> 00:01:57

The Quran

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

within this book Allah

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

talks to us about the afterlife,

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

about the reward in the paradise, about the

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

reward that is with Allah

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

and so whoever is being affected by the

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

Quran,

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13

he will find himself withdrawing from this worldly

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

life, detaching from it by giving,

00:02:16 --> 00:02:18

and he is coming closer and closer to

00:02:18 --> 00:02:21

the realities of the Quran to the afterlife

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

and that which is with Allah

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

And there is no doubt that in support

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

of what I have just said to Allah,

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30

Azzawajal, said in the Quran

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39

Allah

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

He said indeed We gave you

00:02:44 --> 00:02:47

7 ayat that are repeated and recited often

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48

and that is Surat al Fatiha.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

And we gave you this huge Quran this

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

mighty noble Quran

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55

then Allah

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

immediately after that He said do not extend

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

your eyes to that which we have given

00:03:00 --> 00:03:03

them of worldly luxuries and pleasures.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

Why? Because you have been given something much

00:03:06 --> 00:03:09

greater, you have been given the Quran, the

00:03:09 --> 00:03:11

one who is attached to the Quran and

00:03:11 --> 00:03:12

the message of the Quran,

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

his eyes

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

begins to be, he will lower his gaze

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

from the joys of this worldly life and

00:03:18 --> 00:03:21

its luxuries, even though it's permissible to enjoy

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

them, but your heart will no longer be

00:03:23 --> 00:03:24

attached with them. When you are called to

00:03:24 --> 00:03:27

give and be generous, you will give in

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28

the blink of an eye because that is

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

what is pleasing to Allah. We ask Allah

00:03:30 --> 00:03:31

to accept
