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.
