LOVE ALLAH’S CREATIONS: 21

PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO SPEND THEIR WEALTH ON OTHERS

For those who spend on others from what Allah Ta’alah has given them, the angel prays, “O’ Allah! Please give the person who spends his wealth on others, who does Sadaqah (non-obligatory charity) and Khairat, and who treats people well, the reward for what he spends on others, in this world.”


Superficially it looks like that the person who spends his wealth on others, is losing money, because he is either giving his wealth to others, or is foregoing what others are due to return to him. However, in reality the money that is going is not being lost, it brings Barakah (blessing) from Allah Ta’alah, and Allah Ta’alah often rewards such a person in this world. No one has ever become poor because they did too much Sadaqah and Khairat, or they gave relaxation to others in their financial transactions. That is why it is said in the Hadith that Allah Ta’alah rewards such a person both in this world and the Hereafter.
