What if somebody told you
that you would be able to fast Ramadan
twice this year?
We are all aware of the great reward
that comes with fasting.
We are all aware of the great opportunities
that this month of Ramadan
brings with it, but what if we could
double
our reward? We are all about doubling profits.
We are all about doubling,
you know, income.
What about if we could double up our
Ramadan?
The prophet
is
reported to have said, as we find in
the Sunan of
and on the authority of Zayd bin Khaled
Aljuani,
that the prophet
said,
whoever provides
a fasting person
with something to break his fast with,
he shares
in that person's fast
without reducing
the reward
of his fast.
By facilitating
an iftar at your home,
by sending that plate of goodies to your
neighbor,
by buying a box of dates
and distributing
it to your family
and friends.
Giving them something
to break their fast with
ensures
that you get the reward of your fast,
and you get the reward
of their fast.
And this is simple
life hacks that we find in the sunnah
of the prophet
small actions
with great
rewards.
If ever we'd like to
do some charity,
and we've mentioned before that the Prophet
was the most generous of people,
and he was at the peak of his
generosity
during the month of Ramadan.
So if we want to follow the Prophet
the best that we can give
during this month of Ramadan
besides the obligatory,
sadaqah, sadaqahul fitter or zakatul fitter
is giving something
to break a person's fast or facilitating
the breaking of the fast of the believers.
We pray that Allah
grants us the ability
to practice,
grants us the ability to increase
our generosity
during
this month
of generosity.
This Ramadan,
do more.
SANSAV,
changing lives through development and relief.
