dislike the world and the one who does not dislike the world, cannot become a beloved of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. (Qoot-ul-Quloob, vol. 1, pp. 195) Perhaps it is for this reason that our pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی had the mind-set of refraining stinginess and were very generous.

Give charity (Sadaqah) in every state

Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyiduna ‘Ali-ul-Murtada کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم has stated: If you obtain worldly wealth, spend some of it, because by spending, it would not decrease even if you begin to lose it, still spend some of it as it is not supposed to remain with you. (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 3, pp. 738)

Sayyiduna Huzayfah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has stated: Many sinners of the Deen and miserable, helpless people will enter Jannah due to their generosity.

(Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 3, pp. 740)

وَ لَا  تَنۡسَوُ ا  الۡفَضۡلَ   بَیۡنَکُمۡ  ؕ

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And do not forget the favours to each other.

(Part 2, Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 237) (Abu Dawood, vol. 3, pp. 349, Hadees 3382)

Curse for the miser and Du’a for the generous

Sayyiduna Ka’b-ul-Ahbaar رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: Two angels have been appointed upon every morning who call out, ‘O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Quickly destroy the wealth
