The Merits of Charity
Give your donations to Dawat-e-Islami, and you will see them being put to use in working for Islam and spreading Islamic knowledge. Under Dawat-e-Islami’s supervision, you will see your donations go towards funding students of knowledge, and your own hereafter will be bettered to an immense extent.
As opposed to normal circumstance, financially supporting students of Islamic knowledge, who have left their home and devoted themselves to study, is an act much greater in significance.
On page 172 of Ziyā-i-Ṣadaqāt, a book published by Maktabat al-Madinah, it is stated:
(As narrated by Imam Ghazāli رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه)
An Islamic scholar would habitually donate to poor Sufi aspirants, over everyone else. “Is it not better if you gave charity to all paupers in general?”, he was asked.
The scholar replied, “These righteous people are always busy remembering Allah. If they face any starvation or trouble, it will disrupt them in this. In my sight, it is better to donate to one truthful religious individual than to a thousand claimants of this world.”
When this narration was told to sayyidunā Junayd Baghdādī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه, he liked it and stated: “This person (the scholar) is one of the saints of Allah. I have not heard such a beautiful statement before.”[1]
On the very same page of this book, we find a similar narration:
(A foremost student of Imam Abū Ḥanīfah رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه and a leading figure in Ḥanafi jurisprudence) Sayyidunā ꜤAbdullah b. Mubārak
