Ahmed Hamed – What Are The Benefits Of Giving Zakah

			Welcome to the program, Islam insight, a very special series essentially dedicated for a new Muslim
brothers and sisters, how do we commit ourselves to gain knowledge regarding Prophet Muhammad peace
be upon him like to know is he just compulsory for him, somebody told me that a Muslim is not
allowed to have relationship with a non Muslim knowledge revives the spirit of Islam.
		

			Brother, can you tell us some of the benefits of giving
		

			the benefits of giving zakka are immense. If you see from the spiritual point of view zakka
basically, as we mentioned, it takes you closer to Allah subhanaw taala. Because you grow
spiritually, you purify yourself spiritually, you get closer to a lost penalty, because you follow
and obey the command of Allah subhanaw taala. This is a spiritual benefit. This is a benefit which
means or which should mean a lot to a believer. For him, the most pleasurable moment of his life
should be that he should get closer to Allah subhanaw taala, he should be near to Allah subhanaw
taala. And that's the effort that every Muslim every believer has to put. So he gets a spiritual
		

			benefit, that he actually gains that momentum, that nearness to Allah subhanaw taala. Also, in this
world, he will also have the benefit in his materialistic sense, as we have said, Who is the owner
of the treasures, who owns the world, who owns the resources, who owns this money, who owns this
rope, who owns this property, who owns the everything in the world, Allah, Allah owns everything. So
when you commit, when you obey the command of Allah pantalla, you will see a materialistic growth as
well. And economic growth as well, in your income, that it gets either increase, or they'll be a lot
of burka, you get so surprised that you have only $100 to spend a week. But you will get so much
		

			Baraka in that, that you are internally satisfied. You see, why do we own to satisfy ourselves and
Allah subhanho wa Taala satisfied satisfies you, if you pays a car, and that satisfaction means a
lot to us, a person might pay a billion dollar or million dollar, he will not get that satisfaction,
if he pays any fee, even if he has less, he will be convinced with that, he will be absolutely
satisfied with that. So he will gain in this dunya as well. The economic benefit from observing the
command of Allah subhanaw taala to pay Sokka number three, as a responsible human being as a
representative of Allah subhanaw taala, when you pays a car, you actually set up the system of
		

			economic justice, which is lost almost here. That's the reason we are listening, we are hearing and
we are facing credit crisis, credit crunch, economic imbalance, and so on and so forth. The people
economists are in huge struggle in order to make economic balance in this world. But they would
never be able to do that, if they don't follow the system prescribed by the Creator in this world.
		

			The benefit that we gain if we pays a car, if we obey the commands of Allah subhanaw taala by beings
occur is that we actually set up the system of economic justice, which is the actual essence of
		

			the purpose of Zakah where in the society must be economically balanced, it should not be that only
rich are living and the poor are suffering, it should be balanced. If riches are there, then they
should be poor, but they should be served by these rich people, because they will gain what Allah
subhanaw taala has given them. So these are the benefits that a person gains spiritually, he will
gain emotionally he will gain physically he will gain economically. You see. So these are there is
no act
		

			in
		

			The House of Islam which does not bring benefit, all these benefits are only
		

			those benefits which comes from Allah subhanaw taala. And all these acts are commanded by a las
panatela. So obviously, when Allah commands something, it is the benefit for the whole of humanity
and it is the Act, which is engaging with all your society. It's not an individual act that you do.
So these are the benefits that you actually get when you observe or when you pay or when you obey
the commands of Allah subhanaw taala by paying Zakat of their ancestors
