			Charity Allahu Akbar May Allah subhanho wa Taala Minkus mineral Mutasa in those who are charitable
in all avenues of our life. Charity is the hallmark of a believer. It's always confined in Thai to
Sadat. Notice Allah Subhana Allah to Allah as I believe nimis are the Allahu anhu teaches us that
there are three pairings in the Quran there are three concepts always attach with another three. So
Allah subhana wa tada always in the foreign will say all to Allah, Rasool be obedient to God and
also his messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. The second pairing is a clean masala where
to zeca give your prayer to a loss of Hannah and to Allah, but also spend in your wealth in that
		
00:00:52 --> 00:01:35
			which is pleasing to Allah and pay the cat the purification of your wealth. And the third and
finally is our Buddha law Allah to Shinobi he shall worship Allah alone, don't worship other than
Allah will bill Wally, they need your Santa and treat your families and your parents with good
morality and ethics and righteous conduct. Those three concepts are always intertwined with each
other in the Quran. Today, it's important for you to understand the concept of sadaqa and zecca. Now
notice these two words, when they're used on their own they mean the same thing. So Allah Subhana
Allah, Allah says in the Quran, hoodman and William sada cotton, take from their wealth at Southern
		
00:01:35 --> 00:02:20
			what Allah means by it is zeca because the word is not separated in the Quran in that in that
particular area, so sadaqa in itself, it means to show your truthfulness in your belief in Allah,
how is my charity, a sign of my truthfulness and belief in Allah subhana wa Tada. It's a very simple
concept, that if I believe Allah is the provider, that Allah is the giver of all good that Allah is
the one who withholds some of the things that I want from me. If I believe that Allah is the giver,
and the taker, therefore that whatever I have, that I give to others, it is a sign to Allah, a
testament and an evidence that I believe Allah will return to me what I've spent, that I believe
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:59
			that Allah is the one who owns all things. And then I'm just a distributor of that which Allah has
blessed me with that I believe that I'm a part and parcel of the life's betterment for other people.
And therefore it becomes a sadaqa to Buddha Han, the prophets I send him says in authentic hadith,
charity is evidence for you. It is evidence on the day of judgment that I put the needs of other
people before my want, my needs were met, and there were certain things that I wanted certain
luxuries that I wished for. But I looked over there and I saw that that person didn't have their
need. They didn't have their food, they didn't have their clothes, they didn't have their shelter,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:38
			they didn't have their security, they didn't have their protection. They didn't have their
education. They didn't have their nurturing in life. And I said to myself, no, I've been blessed and
I want to share from what I have. I want to do it with a willingness and a voluntary intent to
please Allah to make somebody's life easier. This becomes great evidence on the Day of Judgment. Did
you know that a lot tells us in the Quran, that the first thing that people will say when they cross
into the next life, when a person has left this life when a person has passed away, and they're
asked, What would you like to do if you were to go back they will say at a sudden Dakota, Minnesota
		
00:03:38 --> 00:04:17
			I want to go back I'll give charity it's not I'll go back and I'll pray to God I'll go back and make
Hajj I'll go back and make Irma I'll go back and fast Ramadan. No, I'll give charity why because
it's evidence. Allah subhana wa Taala wants to see from you and I that we put other needs other
people's needs as a priority, where you see rune Allah and Fujimoto cannot be him. kasasa Allah
subhanho wa Taala described the righteous from the Sahaba alley of nabee Talib that he would give
from himself even though he needs it. Even though in his home, he's lacking certain things easy,
somebody else is lacking more. And although I need it, I'm going to share and I'm going to split my
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:54
			date in half. Look at the words of the prophets lie Selim. He says it duck would not Oh lol Bishop
kitamura. Save yourself from Hellfire, even if it's by splitting, sharing half of your date. And
this was actually a reality. I shadow the alarm. In the house of the prophets. I send them a lady
knocked on the door and she had two young daughters with a Muslim. And she turned she had asked
everywhere else everyone in Medina was in hunger and famine. And the only place she could turn to
even though nobody wants to take food from the privatized center. They would rather share their food
with a privatized set and she has nowhere to go. So she knocks on the door. They're starving.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			They're in a moment of difficulty. And she knocks and the profit is in home. So I said him and his
wife Ayesha answers and she
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:37
			says Yo man, I mean, do you have anything that you can share and I shout out the Aloha. No, she says
water bill Kava, by the Lord of the Kava Almighty Allah. All we have in the house of the Prophet are
three dates. So I sell them, but you can have them. So I Isha without asking the Prophet I sell them
without considering her own self. She gives the last three dates the last food in the house of the
prophets, I send them to this mother and the mother takes the dates. She gives one to this daughter,
one to his daughter, and the third one's in her hand, and her daughter's wolf down the dates and
they look at the third date up in their mother's hand, and she sees them in that condition. She sees
		
00:05:37 --> 00:06:18
			their hunger so she decides to go hungry herself and she breaks the date and gives each of them half
and she goes continues to be hungry. I showed her the Allahu Ana she said O Messenger of Allah when
he returned such and such and such happened the Prophet immediately said would you but lol Jenna,
Paradise is hers. Paradise is written for her for that act of love and, and service that she has
shown the mountain they comment if that paradise was for this woman who fed her own children. What
then is the paradise that is set in store for a Chateau de la hora on how to blah, the prophets, I
sell them who it's They are the ones who are deprived and they're not their family that they have
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:53
			fed Allahumma salli ala Muhammad, Allah Allah, Allah Muhammad, may Allah make our charity our
shelter on the day of judgment and authentic hadith prophets. I seldom said your sadaqa will be your
veil, and your shelter and protection on the day of judgment will be like a cloud that protects you
from the heat and the difficulty of the Day of Judgment alone. I mean, finally the prophets I sell
him he said that there will be seven types of people on the Day of Judgment, who will be given
shelter and protection and shade. When other people will desire it, they won't be given it. One of
those seven types of category of people is a person who gave with their right hand they put their
		
00:06:53 --> 00:07:32
			hand in their pocket in their wallet and gave with the right hand that they didn't count what was
there, they just gave what they had, that even their left hand was unsure of how much was given.
They didn't hold their wallet and open and say ah, not the five not that 10 Okay, I'll give I'll
give a one or a two. They didn't count they just put it and gave in the path of a law to the path of
assisting the needy male law shelter us with our charity. Now lawmakers evidence for us and May
Allah make us of those who are generous in spirit and heart and if we have nothing to give material
than let us remember the words of the prophets I seldom tebis sumika fee which he efika sadhaka that
		
00:07:32 --> 00:08:11
			when you greet your smile, boo wedgie and tada when you greet your friend with a smiley face, your
charity is an extension of the smile that you gave. May Allah brighten our faces with charity. May
Allah keep us happy and smiling and increase other people's prosperity through our generosity. And
may Allah return to us all that we have spent the prophets of Allah Allah, Allah made a vow and a
promise, manacles I met him in South Africa. Never will someone be poor because they gave charity
from their wealth. Never will someone be deprived because they gave charity from their wealth. Never
will someone be needing, if they've given charity from their wealth, May Allah increase our
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:24
			prosperity through our charitable illness. Allahumma amin, well suddenly Allahumma salli wa barik
ala Sayidina Nabina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, your brother your hyper Rahim Salam
