When it comes to giving to charity or doing acts to attain His pleasures, we often hear that our fortunes will be multiplied by Him (but the exact no. were not included in the verbal message).
Tadaaa...the answer can be found at Surah Al-Baqarah ayat 261.
Sahih International (Translation):
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.
MasyaAllah! Based on simple calculations and understanding thats 700x la!
Spent SG1,000 here for His way and you will get 700,000 amount of pahala/some in monetary form/ our "token to be presented" for Judgement Day. Wohhhooo!!! Look at those digits! Imagine that amount in our bank...tak ke sedap mata memandang, mengukir senyuman. Well, even if we dont get all the amount here in Dunya. InsyaAllah, during Judgement Day we will be glad that our Deeds statement account states such amount. Tokens to enter Jannah! InsyaAllah!
Ok, maybe my example is too huge la kan. No matter how big or small the contribution is, the returns are HUGE! This is better den any interest rate you can get.
So lets try to do our bit in support of the ones in need and also to help distribute the wealth that He has provided us. (we are being rewarded for giving something that isnt ours to begin with. whao!). May He guide us all and with the charity it helps purify ourselves, the wealth we have gained and also our soul. Amin! :)
with that, please be reminded to check on your zakat payment.
As always its actually a note to self actually.
Have a blessed Ramadan All.
