One roti saved from destruction

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has narrated that the Beloved Rasool      صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: There was a person before you who would take out baby birds from their nest every time. The bird made a complaint against him to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ said, ‘If he continues to do the same, he will be destroyed.’ The same person that year when left his home with a ladder to catch the baby birds, he found a beggar on the way. He gave the beggar a roti out of his provisions. He then climbed up the tree and caught the baby birds. The parents of the baby birds were watching this scene. They humbly said in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, ‘O Allah Almighty! You promised us that he will be destroyed this time, but he is going absolutely safe and sound. Allah Almighty said, ‘Don’t you know that the person who gives something in Sadaqah on any day, I do not destroy him that day nor does any evil reach him that day.’ (Kanz-ul-‘Ummal, vol. 6, pp. 159, Hadees 16112)

Yaum-e-Ta’teel I’tikaf – one Madani activity out of 12 Madani activities

O devotees of Rasool! Have you heard! These parables contain amazing blessings of Sadaqah. In the first parable, a woman attained the blessing of giving a morsel in Sadaqah as an angel saved her child from the mouth of a wolf and returned him to her and thus the life of the child was saved. In the second parable, the person who would take out baby birds from their nest stayed safe from the destruction because he also gave a roti in Sadaqah on the way. Therefore develop the feeling of the poverty of the poor; help them in their bad times by giving them Sadaqah. In order to attain this Madani thought, associate yourself with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami, the Madani movement of devotees of Rasool, and participate practically in the 12 Madani activities of Zayli Halqah and present people the call towards righteousness.
