Sadqay ka Inaam | The Reward of Giving Sadaqah
What does Sadaqah mean?
In the dictionary, Sadaqah is said to that contribution ﴿يُرَادُ بِهَا الۡمَثُوۡبَةُ لَا الۡمَكۡرُمَةُ﴾ (Al-Munjid) which is given with the intention of reward instead of gaining respect and appreciation.
‘Allamah Sayyid Shareef Jurjaani Hanafi عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی defined Sadaqah in a way: ﴿هِيَ الۡعَطِيةُ تُبۡتَغٰي بِهَا الۡمَثُوۡبَةُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰي﴾ i.e., Sadaqah is that contribution through which one can have a hope of reward from Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. (Kitab-ut-Ta’reefat, Bab: As-Saad, pp. 95)
Various forms of Sadaqah
Dear Islami brothers! Spending in the way of Allah is not the only way to give Sadaqah rather it is stated in the blessed Hadees, Sayyiduna Abu Zar Ghifari رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ narrated, the most Revered and Renowned Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has described the various forms of Sadaqah:
v ﴿تَبَسُّمُكَ فِيۡ وَجۡهِ اَخِيۡكَ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ﴾Your smile for your brother is also an act of Sadaqah.
v ﴿وَاَمۡرُكَ بِالۡمَعۡرُوۡفِ وَنَهۡيُكَ عَنِ الۡمُنۡكَرِ صَدَقَةٌ﴾ Inviting towards righteousness and forbidding evil is also an act of Sadaqah.
v ﴿وَ اِرۡشَادُكَ الرَّجُلَ فِيۡ اَرۡضِ الضَّلَالِ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ﴾ Guiding a misled is also an act of Sadaqah.
