Dear Islamic brothers! Let us listen to some virtues and benefits of giving Zakah and make an intention to give it also.

Shower of Divine Mercy

The greatest honour for the one who gives Zakah is that Divine Mercy showers down upon him, hence, it is stated in part 9, Surah Al-A’raf, verse 156:

وَ رَحْمَتِیْ وَ سِعَتْ كُلَّ شَیْءٍؕ-فَسَاَكْتُبُهَا لِلَّذِیْنَ یَتَّقُوْنَ وَ یُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَ الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ بِاٰیٰتِنَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَۚ(۱۵۶)

And My Mercy encompasses all things; I shall henceforth soon decree bounties for those who fear, and pay Zakah, and believe in Our verses.’

[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)] (Part 9, Surah Al-A’raf, Verse 156)

If a sensible person is asked if he would prefer to have all of the good deeds of the entire creation recorded in his book of deeds or that a special mercy of Allah Almighty be sent down upon him, then he would prefer to receive one special mercy of Allah Almighty over the good deeds of the entire creation. No doubt, extremely fortunate are those who give Zakah every year and make themselves worthy of the Mercy of Allah Almighty.
