millions of rupees due to his factory, shop or house catching fire or even any of his close relatives has died. Satan may exploit the situation and whisper to us on these occasions. Satan may make us have a bad assumption about him, making us think that such-and-such a person is suffering loss simply because he is a miser and does not give Sadaqah and charity. He feels uneasy and uncomfortable when it comes to spending in the Divine path. He even dislikes it. Remember! On such an occasion, we must reject these satanic whispers because we do not know for sure that such and such a Muslim has suffered from such-and-such a disease because of his miserliness or he has suffered such-and-such a trouble because of not giving Sadaqah and charity. We should always have a good assumption about every Muslim. We do not know what the rank of a person in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is. We do not know whose Sadaqah and charity He عَزَّوَجَلَّ will accept. May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ enable us to protect the honour of every Muslim and bless us with the great wealth of having a good assumption about Muslims! Aameen

O devotees of Rasool! Accursed Satan prevents a person from spending in virtuous acts by making him feel the fear of reduction in wealth. Before we suffer from any trouble or face any calamity, we should keep giving Sadaqah and charity so that we can stay safe from upcoming calamities. Let’s listen to two faith-refreshing parables about it and make the intention to give Sadaqah and charity.

How did child survive?

Sayyiduna Ikrimah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has said: Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Abbas رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا narrated that the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘A woman was about to eat a morsel. Meanwhile, a beggar came and asked for food. She gave the same morsel to the beggar. After some time, she gave birth to a baby. When her child grew a little, a wolf took him away. The woman ran after the wolf calling out ‘My Son! My Son! Allah Almighty ordered an angel to go after the wolf and snatch the child from the wolf (and hand him over to his mother) and say to his mother: ‘Allah Almighty has sent Salam to you and said that this morsel is in return for [your] morsel’. (Al-Mujalisah wa-Jawahir-ul-‘Ilm, vol. 3,       pp. 277, Hadees 3622)
