Sadqay ka Inaam | The Reward of Giving Sadaqah
The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is similar to that of a grain which has grown seven stalks and in each stalk contains one hundred grains; and Allah may multiply it for whomever He pleases; and Allah is All Encompassing, All Knowing.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 3, Al-Baqarah, verse 261)
Spending in the way of Allah means
Dear Islamic brothers! We learned that spending in the way of Allah is not only a source of the attainment of the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ but also a means of great reward. The question is, ‘What is meant by spending in the way of Allah?’ The answer is, taking part in the publishing the knowledge of Islam, supporting the Madaris (seminaries), construction of Masajid, establish libraries [for Islamic books], setting up inns for travellers, helping neighbours and relatives in need, providing medication to the handicapped, the needy, spending in order to eliminate the debt burden of debtors etc., are all considered as ‘spending’ in the way of Allah.
Commenting on aforementioned blessed verse, Sayyiduna Imam Khaazin Abul Hasan ‘Alauddin ‘Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Ibraheem رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه (passed away in 741 Hijri) has stated: Spending in the way of Allah whether it is a Wajib or a Nafl all are considered good and beneficial.
