God is the Most Great, there is no god but God.
—————
We give Zakah because God has told us and Commanded us to do so in the Quran.
Not so I can feel good about myself or think I’m a good kind person etc. And even due it makes me happy that I could help someone poor and see them get somewhat happy, it is ultimately and mostly for God that I do it.
3 reasons why we give Zakah;
1. To get rewarded by God. To get good deeds written in my record.
2. To do what God wants me to do and to follow His Command.
3. To please God and having God pleased with me. And God is always pleased with someone giving the zakah.
These 3 reasons should always be reasons in your mind for giving Zakah.
Not for yourself. That I’m a good person for doing it etc. That I’m happy inside myself for doing it. That I made the one who received my Zakah happy (even due it can be normal to feel somewhat happy for the person that they got helped etc).
But ultimately for the sake of God.
And God’s Reward is Greater. And the Hereafter is Greater than this life and eternally more lasting.
But most people do not know.
