Remember the charity, a point that we forget? It is for Allah. It's just that Allah put a poor person to collect it on his behalf Subhana Allah Subhana Allah, think about it. So when I have a charity in my hands, I need to tell myself, I'm giving this for the sake of Allah. This is a law that I'm reaching out to, because he wants me to reach out to him by giving food to a poor person. That's what it is. When you think that way, you will automatically be respectful in the way you treat others. Don't throw money at someone, give it to them. Don't throw a coin at a beggar, give it to the beggar respectfully, and pray for the beggar and pray that the almighty accepted from you.

Where are those who fear Allah enough to give others and still consider themselves fortunate for having been chosen to give.

00:02:06--> 00:02:40

So given a good course, search for those who are in need, for indeed, by reaching out to them, you will achieve a lot of goodness, they will pray for you from the bottom of their hearts. They will ask the almighty to bless you further. They pray for you without you knowing simply because you reached out to them at a time of their need. So they thanked Allah by praying for you to Wow look at how we would achieve comfort without even knowing that there was a crisis heading for us. And Allah diverted it. May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us
