٭Who spend their wealth on their parents, siblings and children.

   ٭Who feed the poor and needy people on the occasion of Sawyam, Daswan, Chaleeswan and Barsi, etc. upon the death of their relatives to convey them reward.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! The Holy Quran and Ahadees mention many virtues of giving Sadaqah and charity, and spending in the way of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Spending in the way of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is also very beneficial for a person himself. Those who spend their money in good deeds wholeheartedly and help the poor and needy people, their wealth increases surprisingly and they receive many blessing in their money.

It is mentioned in Para 3, Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 261:

مَثَلُ الَّذِیْنَ یُنْفِقُوْنَ اَمْوَالَهُمْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ اَنْۢبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِیْ كُلِّ سُنْۢبُلَةٍ مِّائَةُ حَبَّةٍؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یُضٰعِفُ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِیْمٌ(۲۶۱)

The example of those who spend their wealth on the path of Allah is similar to a grain which has sprouted seven ears (of wheat) and each ear contains a hundred grains, and Allah may increase this many a time for whomsoever He desires, and Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing.

[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)]

In commentary to this verse, it is written in volume 1, page 295 of Tafseer Siraat-ul-Jinaan: ‘The excellence of those who give charity in the way of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is being mentioned through an example that it is like a person sowing a seed (grain of wheat) in the ground which grows into 7 offshoots, and each offshoot produces 100 grains. Hence, the one sowing one seed into the ground gains 700 times more return. Similarly, the one who spends in the way of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, Allah Almighty rewards him 700 times more according to his sincerity, and it is not limited to this; rather, the treasures of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ are full and He is Kareem [کریم] and Jawwad [جَواد]. He may grant more reward than this to whomsoever He wishes for. (Siraat-ul-Jinaan, vol. 1, pp. 395)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! We learn that money apparently decreases when giving in charity but in reality, it is filling the book of good deeds of the donor with virtuous deeds. Just like the water in a well does not decrease when taken out, rather it increases, similarly, wealth spent in the way of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ does not decrease, rather it increases and receives much blessing. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has mentioned many virtues regarding giving charity. Let’s listen to 8 blessed Ahadees for persuasion:

8 Blessed sayings of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in relation to the excellence of giving charity

1.   The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: اَلصَّدَقَۃُ تَسُدُّسَبْعِیْنَ بَابًا مِّنَ السُّو ءِ ‘Sadaqah locks up 70 doors of evil’. (Mu’jam Kabeer, vol. 4, pp. 274, Hadees 4402)
