Tawfique Chowdhury – Twins of Faith Show – Day 7 – Zakat and Charity

			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu Welcome to another episode of The twins of faith show the
show all about gaining knowledge and acting upon it. I'm your host Dean. And as always, we have Chef
tawfik tillery. How are you doing chef from de la? de la. Now our viewers, our topic for today is
sadaqa charity, giving charity and giving charity to everyone now Shay, what is giving charity
sadaqa in Islam. So the call comes with the word sick, which means truthfulness. Right? And it was
derived from the word set, because charity actually is a sign of set a sign of truthfulness,
truthfulness, to what truthfulness to many things truthfulness of your love for your brother,
		

			truthfulness of the presence of a man in your heart, truthfulness of the love for the hereafter
rather than the love for this dunya. So because you attesting to the truthfulness of all of these
things, saw the car was called sadhaka. Because ultimately, it's a it's a testimony of truthfulness
towards these things that you possess in your heart. Right. So now we've given the explanation of
what they Celica. But what is what's the difference between sada charity and Zika? What is the
difference there between the two? Well, you know, sometimes are unused and simultaneously uses them
users sometimes when Allah says
		

			that he means the sort of, or the greatest, or the average is charity, which is the obligatory
charity, which is a cut. And in fact, it was used for that purpose originally. Thereafter, when
there's a cut was made clear of how much the cut is due. Then thereafter, after anything on beyond
that was called sadhaka. And that which was the obligatory amount was specifically called the cat.
So is giving charity in general obligation or just Zakat, the part of the cat well, initially before
the cat was made obligatory in its current form, to give charity in general was obligatory, and
Allah said that in the Quran, initially, right after Salah was made obligatory, then a portion of
		

			wealth from our income and our wealth was made obligatory to give to those people in need. When
Allah says in the Quran, Murphy and worldly him have come along this room, and in their wealth is an
amount well known for those who asked and those who are
		

			those people who are close to you. So, so this was revealed in Makkah, this was before the cat was
made in its present form the 2.5% and the X amount of sheep in X amount of sheep, etc. All of these
things will make clear that only happened in Medina but before that general saga was made obligatory
upon upon believers as a testimony of their love and the affection for their brothers and the
testimony of their their love for the hereafter. Okay, that's amazing as always a very comprehensive
explanation. Now, can you give us an example of how the pious predecessors were concerned about the
cat and how they prioritized it? Well, you know, the pious predecessors, they understood the real
		

			importance of zakat. They understood how important Zakat really was. And they remember that that the
prophet SAW alone was the most charitable of all, in fact, and authentic hadith Rasulullah Selim had
been abuzz with the alarm who said Karna Rasulullah seldom mean a god naswa con Agra de Maya Kofi
Ramadan Hina yokocho jabril for you there is an authentic hadith in Bukhari where even the best of
the Allahu said the Prophet sallallahu Sallam was the most charitable of people and he was even more
charitable than the legal masala he was more charitable than a wind that comes with it numerous
blessings rain and and and beautiful weather etc. And he was even more charitable in Ramadan. So not
		

			only was he the most charitable of people in Ramadan, he was even more charitable than that. And to
give you an example, how charitable the Profit System was, the prophets of Salaam used to say that I
don't wish that Allah gives me a mountain or herd of gold in the morning, except that by nightfall,
I've given everything out in the cause of Allah. And other authentic hadith the prophet SAW Selim,
right after he finished a short prayer Normally he would make Vicar and make dua to Allah azza wa
jal, but then he rushed back home and then the prophets of cinema came back right after that. So the
companions of the others who love what happened, he said, as I was praying, I remembered that I had
		

			a gold coin in my house, and I didn't want
		

			Time to pass it said that I had given it away in charity and the prophets of Salaam You know, he was
so charitable that he used to tell billon and beloved was a was was not a very wealthy man. He used
to tell bill I said bill, unfair Karnataka in the last year kilala. He used to say below, give and
don't be afraid that the one who possesses the throne will ever, ever withhold from you, meaning
Allah will give you Allah will not keep you in poverty. Allah hasn't always looked after us. So why
are we so afraid of giving in charity? another third, Khadija man came to the Prophet Solomon, he
was a messenger from another tribe, and the prophets of Salaam gave him Dawa, he accepted Islam. And
		

			they gave him a gift and the gift was an amazing gift. I mean, if you think about it, it blows your
mind the way he gave him, a valley of sheep of Valley sheep. Wow. You can imagine how much sheep
there was. Hundreds and hundreds of sheep. Yeah, hundreds of sheep as a gift, as a gift, any look at
the generosity of this poor prophet of God, that He would give some handler without even thinking
any not being worried, you know? And this is why this man went back to his people and said, comas,
limo, limo, all my people except Islam except Islam for him now Mohammed and your theater Rajan like
Shakur, verily, Mohammed gives the giving of a man who does not feel poverty.
		

			And that is to have a word like that as well. There was a man with the name of a Buddha, or the
Allahu anhu, who gave his whole origin in the cause of Islam. One of the orphans wanted to what
needed a property and he had, there was a particular date palm tree, that the the offer needed. And
the man who had the date palm tree just wouldn't sell it to the orphan. And the orphan came to the
profitsystem started crying and saying, I need that date palm tree, the man just wouldn't sell it.
So the province of offered him a lot of money to sell, it still wouldn't sell it. So I bought that
had the best date palms in all of Medina, he went to the solar system. And he heard about this
		

			situation, he went to the to the guy and said, Oh, so and so would you want 1000 date palm trees
that has the most beautiful dates in all of Medina, for that one date pump that one day pump. And
the man agreed, he was like, what, who's crazy enough to do this. And so at that point, the man
gave, gave his date pump and gave his whole date pump to the cause of Lhasa budget. And so the
provinces, smiled and smiled, and he said, Come in, how many beautiful day palm trees are there for
Buddha in general. You know, as this is a spirit of sadaqa This is a spirit of soda that you give
any don't care, you give and you don't care because you know, a level of coffee. You see my brothers
		

			and sisters in Islam and to Afridi, we live at a time when we're all wealthy with all due respect,
we are either affluent or rich, or we have means hamdulillah beyond what our needs are. Our needs
are x but humble. Allah has given us why you know what I'm saying. So all of us has, you know, more
wealth than, than perhaps what we absolutely basically need right? So in all truth we become from
the rich, or we become not from at least we're not the poor, that had the thorough solar system is
very clear that the the poor will enter Jannah before the rich four by 500 years. How so? Because I
mean, look at the difficulty has given them, they don't have much money, they don't have much
		

			wealth. So unless pantalla in His justice will allow the poor to enter Jenna, before the rich by 500
years. Now this is a predicament for you and me with all due respect, because for 500 years, we'll
be outside of gentlemen, can you imagine that? I mean, this life is of what 30 4050 years of this
life, and we live in a in a house, and then we want to go to another bigger house or better house.
We can't take it that our house is rundown. How are we going to stay 500 years outside of gentlemen
smelling the beautiful gender, hearing the people and the screams of laughter and joy and gender and
must be prevented from gender. How can we do that the prophecies have said that the rich will wait
		

			outside of gentlemen for 500 years before the poor except except for the one that gives him
