Imagine investing in Google in 1998.
Allah promises more return on your investment in charity than even that.
There is no better dividend.
The likeness of those who spend their wealth in the Way of Allah, is as the likeness of a grain (of corn); it grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains. Allah gives manifold increase to whom He pleases. And Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures’ needs, All-Knower.
Al Quran 2:261
The one who gives charity will be rewarded exponentially.
Giving charity is difficult for many of us because it seems, on the surface level, that we are giving to those who cannot benefit us and that that money will be lost.
It may be that those we give charity to may not ever be in a position to return the favor, but our reward does not come from the recipient of our charity.
It comes from Allah Almighty and can manifest in many different ways in this life and the next if we have the right intentions.
To become closer to Allah (swt), we look to Prophet Muhammad (saw) as a guide, teacher and example of what a good Muslim should be.
Prophet Muhammad (saw) was known for his generosity.
As ‘the most generous of all the people…’ (Bukhari), the Prophet (saw) continuously encouraged his followers to help others.
Calling upon Muslims to support their families, neighbours, communities and the wider ummah.
Emphasising the importance of charity, the Prophet (saw) said:
‘Generosity is near to Allah, near to Paradise, near to the people, and far from the Hellfire…’
Tirmidhi
Supporting your neighbours
As Muslims, we are urged to help ensure the poor and needy do not go hungry where ever they are.
However if you suspect there are individuals in financial duress within your locality then they should be a priority
Prophet Muhammad (saw) said:
‘He is not a Muslim whose stomach is full while his neighbour goes hungry.’
Muslim
To many coming from Muslim countries giving prepared food or groceries comes naturally.
It was a primary seen as custom of the older generation and may not be seen relevant now in a country that has a sofisticated welfare system
However it is not always clear if the allowances given by the government can cover the essentials or increasing cost of living due to extraordinary events.
Hence despite the support that may be available, we should continue offering as the act of generosity can not only open hearts but minds too.
Giving financial aid towards families or individuals in your locality or abroad may cross you mind but sometimes you don’t know if they are in actual need.
Or from a sense of dignity they may not want to even accept handouts
Refer them to organisations such as National Zakat Foundation
This is an established organisation that can conduct an eligibility assessment and offer financial support for a number of essential living expenses
Help with basic living costs and debts
The Hardship Relief Fund gives grants for basic costs and help with small debts to vulnerable Muslims in the UK who are unable to pay for basic living costs.
You can also support this organisation and many others who offer discreet financial support for vulnerable members of our community
