What can you do with just $1?

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05

You can buy a candy bar, a pack

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

of gum, or a can of soda.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:10

These things may satisfy your desires for a

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11

few minutes

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

and then become forgotten at the bottom of

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

a trash can or your purse. How would

00:00:16 --> 00:00:19

you see that dollar if it buys the

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

next level of jenna for you?

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

What about if it means investment

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

in your health and safety?

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

What if it was a seed of tzedakah

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

that got multiplied

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

by 100 of times.

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

That is what a dollar spent on what

00:00:37 --> 00:00:38

pleases Allah

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

looks like.

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

Allah says,

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46

the example of those who spend their wealth

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

in the way of Allah

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

is like a seed of grain,

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

which grows 7 spikes.

00:00:52 --> 00:00:55

In each spike is a 100 grains.

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59

And Allah multiplies his reward for whom he

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

wills.

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

And Allah is all encompassing

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

and knowing.
