Sadqay ka Inaam | The Reward of Giving Sadaqah
but it should be something that is acceptable and pleasing to us as well. But alas! Alas! Our practice is that when something becomes useless and can no longer be utilised, we give it in Sadaqah in the name of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. When bread becomes mouldy and curry is showing signs of spoiling, we give it to the maid. In the name of charity, we donate clothing or items which are totally unusable for flood victims and desperately needy and the disaster-stricken people.
It is obvious that some items or things may not suitable according to the status of some affluent people but are perfectly acceptable and the blessings for the poor people, for example used clothes, bedding and other useful articles can be given to the servants etc. But in no ways should expired medicine be sent to hospitals so that it can be given to the poor without considering even for a moment that it could cause harm instead of benefit.
Reflect! Ponder! What if Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ had made us amongst those one who takes Sadaqah rather than those ones who give. Then what would have been our position? Would we be happy using such things? Therefore, remember, Islam has commanded us to like for others what you like for your own self. So, Sayyiduna Anas رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ narrated: The Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated, ‘No one of you becomes true believer until he likes for his brother what he likes for himself.’
(Sahih Bukhari, Kitab-ul-Iman, vol. 1, pp. 16, Hadees 13)
