Giving to Allah for Allah

BismillahiRahmanirRahim
Assalaamu alaykum

I pray that you are well.

The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace said: Allah said: Spend (on charity), O son of Adam, and I shall spend on you. (related by Muslim)

The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace said, Allah will say on the Day of Resurrection: O son of Adam, I fell ill and you visited Me not. He will say: O Lord, and how should I visit You when You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: Did you not know that My servant So-and-so had fallen ill and you visited him not? Did you not know that had you visited him you would have found Me with him? O son of Adam, I asked you for food and you fed Me not. He will say: O Lord, and how should I feed You when You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: Did you not know that My servant So-and-so asked you for food and you fed him not? Did you not know that had you fed him you would surely have found that (the reward for doing so) with Me? O son of Adam, I asked you to give Me to drink and you gave Me not to drink. He will say: O Lord, how should I give You to drink when You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: My servant So-and-so asked you to give him to drink and you gave him not to drink. Had you given him to drink you would have surely found that with Me. (related by Muslim)

We know that our brothers in Haiti are suffering right now, make du'a for them, extend your hand to the fullest to them for this is your opportunity to be loved by Allah Most High. Allah will show you His thanks and His promise will not put you in vain, inshaAllah.

Surely the pious shall drink of a cup whose mixture is camphor, a fountain whereat drink the servants of God, making it to gush forth plenteously. They fulfill their vows, and fear a day whose evil is upon the wing; they give food, for the love of Him, to the needy, the orphan, the captive: 'We feed you only for the Face of God; we desire no recompense from you, no thankfulness; for we fear from our Lord a frowning day, inauspicious. So God has guarded them from the evil of that day, and has procured them radiancy and gladness, and recompensed them for their patience with a Garden, and silk; therein they shall recline upon couches, therein they shall see neither sun nor bitter cold; near them shall be its shades, and its clusters hung meekly down, and there shall be passed around them vessels of silver, and goblets of crystal, crystal of silver that they have measured -- very exactly. And therein they shall be given to drink a cup whose mixture is ginger, therein a fountain whose name is called Salsabil. Immortal youths shall go about them; when you see them, you suppose them scattered pearls, when you see them then you see bliss and a great kingdom. Upon them shall be green garments of silk and brocade; they are adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord shall give them to drink a pure drink. Behold, this is a recompense for you, and your striving is thanked.' Qur'an Al-Ihsaan 76:5:22

May Allah forgive us and have mercy on us and all the Muslims. Ameen.

Wassalaam
