Sadqay ka Inaam | The Reward of Giving Sadaqah
Dear Islami brothers! We learnt that whether it is giving charity for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ or other social activities or affairs, we should always care about the welfare of our Islamic brothers and consider their benefit. Like for them that which you love for yourself.
Open Sadaqah is greater or hidden Sadaqah?
Which is better, open Sadaqah or hidden Sadaqah? Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ states in Surah Al-Baqarah:
اِنۡ تُبۡدُ و ا الصَّدَ قٰتِ فَنِعِمَّا ہِیَ ۚ وَ اِنۡ تُخۡفُوۡہَا وَ تُؤۡتُوۡ ہَا ا لۡفُقَرَ آءَ فَہُوَ خَیۡرٌ لَّکُمۡ ؕ وَ یُکَفِّرُ عَنۡکُمۡ مِّنۡ سَیِّاٰ تِکُمۡ ؕ وَ اللّٰہُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡ نَ خَبِیۡرٌ ﴿۲۷۱﴾
If you give charity openly, what an excellent deed it is! And if you secretly give it to the poor, it is the best for you; and in it some of your sins will reduce; and Allah is Aware of your deeds.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 3, Al-Baqarah, verse 271)
Sayyiduna Muhiyy-us-Sunnah, Abu Muhammad Husayn Bin Mas’ood Baghawi عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی (passed away in 510 Hijri) has said in Tafseer Baghawi: Whether Sadaqah is obligatory or Nafl when given with sincerity and is free from showing-off then irrespective of whether given openly or secretly, both are preferable.
