Generosity and Charity in Islam

Описание: Generosity is not expressed exclusively with wealth and money, but also with our time, good deeds, and kindness.

Generosity purifies the Muslim’s heart.

This video explores the noble Islamic virtue of generosity, demonstrating that it is not merely about spending money, but a profound journey to purify the soul from its diseases, such as stinginess.
We discuss how true giving encompasses our time, good deeds, and kindness toward all people, and how generosity and charity represent a lasting investment for a Muslim in this world and the hereafter.

-From the Holy Quran:

"...And whatever you spend of good – it will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged.'' [Quran 2: 272].

“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 2: 261].

"Never will you attain the good [reward] until you spend [in the way of Allah] from that which you love..." [Quran 3: 92].

-From the Prophetic Tradition (Hadith):

The Prophet (PBUH) asked ‘Aaishah (RA) what was left of the slaughtered sheep. She said: ‘Nothing but the shoulder.” He replied: ‘Everything except the shoulder is saved'.” [At-Tirmithi].

“Charity does not decrease wealth.” [Muslim].

"Protect yourself from the fire even by giving a piece of a date as charity.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

"Everyday two angels descend and one of them says, O Allah! Compensate (more) to the person who gives (in charity)'; while the other one says, O Allah! Destroy the one who withholds (charity,).’" [Al-Bukhari].

-Hadith Qudsi: "Allah, the Exalted, Says, `Spend, O son of Adam, you will also be spent upon.'' [Al-Bukhari & Muslim].
