Ramadhan Victory -- Charity and Generosity
Allah Most High says (in close meanings):
The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
[Quran, Al Baqarah 2:261]
The Quran encourages us not to withhold charity reminding us that by not giving we may actually harm ourselves more than anyone else. It is through the act of giving that we prevent the self-destruction of greed, selfishness and clinging to this worldly life. Charity is an active commitment to do good and a reflection of our faith and action as Allah loves those who strive to do good. May Allah make us of those. Charity and generosity are powerful tools for societal transformation. Let’s be generous in our giving for in doing so we follow the way of the Prophet (ﷺ) who has been described as being the most generous of people bearing in mind that he was not a person of abundant worldly wealth and the most generous when he used to meet with Jibril alayhissalaam during the nights in Ramadhan studying and revising the Quran with one another.
