00:00:11 --> 00:00:16
			Al hamdu lillah wa salatu salam
ala Rasulillah Assalamu alaykum
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:21
			Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. We
continue our theme layout at Tom
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:25
			keen on masala hikma Quran,
Kareem, nights of empowerment,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			parables and wisdom from the
Glorious Quran.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:34
			Charity as we know in Islam is one
of the pillars of our faith.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:40
			And being charitable itself is one
of the fundamental characteristics
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			of a true believer.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:48
			Anybody and everybody can be
charitable in Islam. Because
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:53
			charity in Islam is not exclusive
to those who have wealth, or those
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:57
			who have material possessions are
those who have money, rather than
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:02
			what anyone can do to enhance the
situation of any other human
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:07
			being, or any creation of Allah.
That is considered as charity in
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:11
			Islam, the prophets of Allah Allah
He, he was happy he was seldom
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			said in a hadith Kulu salaam Amina
Nasir Allah he's
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:21
			Kulu Yamuna Rafi shims that are
deliberateness Nene sadaqa. Well,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26
			Kelly Matata, Eva said, this
charity Do you for every person on
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:30
			every part of his body every day
on which the sunrises
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			to bring justice between people in
charity. A good unkind word is
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			charity. But two people either
want to meet with either an
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			employee or
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:44
			even to remove something harmful.
From the way from the path is a
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:49
			form of charity, the best from
your watch here he collected, even
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			smiling at someone that is a form
of charity.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:57
			Keeping all this in mind, we
reflect on a competitive statement
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:01
			of Allah subhanho wa Taala
followed by a parable in the Holy
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			Quran, which Allah subhanho wa
Taala StrikeForce with his his
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:09
			Alma roof era, Pharaoh means other
party yet
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:16
			a forgiving nature, a kind word,
and a forgiving nature is far
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:21
			better than giving charity
followed by injury over harm.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			In other words, to say something
good.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:31
			To be nice to someone to be
forgiving to someone is better
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:36
			than helping someone and then
insulting them through your help.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41
			Allah then continues, yeah, you
are nothing. Oh, you proclaim
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:41
			faith
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:48
			not canceled. By reminding people
of your generosity calorie you
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:52
			know who we are and nurse you
alive when we live.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:59
			Like those people who give charity
charity to be noticed by people
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:03
			without truly having faith,
without without truly being
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			conscious of the Accountable what
they do, those who could take it
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:11
			and hurt people. The parable is
for Mr. Liu who come after us of
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			warning
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			for so about why we don't
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			have what is
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:23
			the parable or their comparison is
like a smooth rock and on the rock
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:29
			raise some sand. And when the rain
falls, when the rain falls, the
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			sand completely washes away.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:36
			Insane, you can climb something
which can grow and benefit people.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			And so to when you get charity, it
can benefit the recipient. But
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:45
			also it benefits the giver because
there's a reward for those
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:50
			for those who are on their terms,
the rain and the rain here as you
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			know what they can learn. And
whatever is in the sand can grow
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:57
			and develop. The rain is symbolic
of the blessings of Allah.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:03
			However, if you're a charity that
sang on the rock, if your charity
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:08
			belittles a poor human needs, the
needy undermines those in need,
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:12
			because you remind them of your
generosity. Then the Prophet
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in a
very well known tradition is
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:20
			reported to have said people who
do that law you can remove all
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			your will Tiama What are your what
are
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			the among the people who Allah
will not look into the DFP Yama
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:32
			normally purify them? Who are
those people among them
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:38
			are the one who keeps reminding
people what he has done for them.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			So when you remind people what you
do for them
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			then your charity is like the
loser on the rug
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:55
			and washes away. When the fall
comes is no benefit is gone to
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:55
			about
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			Allah has yet to be imposed on
coffee
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			Allah guide those who are
ungrateful
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:09
			for waste a lot of reference to be
charitable one and we ungrateful.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:14
			Because those who get what they
give, are given what they give
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			from Allah in the first place
those who give what they give, for
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			given what they got.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			And they should know that in their
wealth lies the right of those who
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			are denied, and that interfere.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			In their wealth in their position
in what they have lies the share
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:39
			of those who may be denied, and
those who are in need. From all of
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:39
			this.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:46
			The Quran promotes a culture of
philanthropy, and charity, charity
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:51
			that encourages generosity of the
giver. But it also emphasizes the
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:56
			need for the receiver of the
charity, not to be insulted. In
		
00:05:56 --> 00:06:00
			other words, it promote
generosity. It promotes people to
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:04
			be charitable, but at the same
time, it emphasizes that the one
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:07
			who receives should not be
insulted, should not be
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			humiliated. In fact, the person
who receives should have the
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			dignity intact.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:18
			Our function in life, as people of
faith is not merely to have and to
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			hold, but to give in to serve,
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			to get but not to forget,
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:29
			and to do good, but not to hurt.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:35
			sallam said in the last year on
your OB mme He, Allah is at the
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:39
			assistance of a person, as long as
that person is of benefit to other
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			people.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:45
			So in helping others, we enhance
ourselves, for when you light the
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:49
			path of another, even lighting the
life of someone else, that light
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:54
			also brings light to your own path
and realize that in faith, no
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:59
			one's installing faith than the
one who bends down to help those
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:03
			who are in need. We become
enriched by enriching the lives of
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:07
			those around us, those who need
our assistance. I leave you with
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:12
			three points for all of us to
reflect upon. One good Luma
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			roofing sadaqa This is Islamic
principle, Hadith Rasulullah
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:20
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Quran
Luma aloof in South Africa, every
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:24
			good deed is charity. And
therefore, anyone can be
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:29
			charitable and everyone can be
generous. Number two, it is
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:33
			evident from all of this, that the
intention of a person when doing
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:38
			any act, the intention is of
paramount importance, why we do
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:43
			why we do what we do, and how we
do what we do, determines the
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:47
			quality of our action, but also it
determines whether the deed will
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:52
			be acceptable to Allah subhanho wa
taala. So don't give charity or do
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:58
			any good deed for show or for any
ulterior motive, because as it
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:02
			assaulted near to look in Cairo
mean Amalie the intention of a
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:07
			believer is better than the D that
he does. So, first point, everyone
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:11
			can be charitable, and anyone can
be generous. Number two, your
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:16
			intention is of primary importance
when you do what you do. And
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:21
			thirdly, never ever let your
goodness be a source of
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			humiliation for anyone else.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:28
			We're stuck with Allah wa salam
aleikum wa rahmatullah.
