Asalamualykum everyone,
Hope everyone is well.
Last week session was cancelled so for the eagle-eyed members you'll notice i never posted last week.
This week's topic was on...
THE ACT OF GIVING SADQA (CHARITY)
Alhamdulilah, the teacher advised the one who gives sadqa removes his/her spiritual diseases. In the same way, we are happy to pay a large amount of money to doctors for a medical cure which is not guaranteed, we should happily give sadqa for the sake of Allah swa and the one who thinks he/she is not getting anything in return couldn’t be further away from the truth.
Do not think the act of giving charity decreases your wealth but, quite the opposite, it increases your wealth in ways we couldn’t think of.
It is preferred if anyone does want to give money to charity, one should do so in private and should not boast to people about his/her good deed.
Giving money to charity also removes your past sins Alhamdulilah and we should strive to go beyond the normal guidelines i.e. qurbani and zakat.
