*ACTS OF GENEROSITY TO CONSIDER DOING DURING RAMADĀN* To make the most of the blessings of generosity in Ramadān, consider these acts: • Visit your neighbour – Offer assistance, particularly to those who are elderly, the needy and the sick. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Guiding a lost man through the land is your charity. Lending your eyesight to a man who cannot see well is your charity. Removing rocks, thorns, and bones from the road is your charity." {al-Tirmidhi‌ #1956} • Feed the poor – Donate to charities that distribute meals during Ramadān. ALLĀH says regarding the righteous: "...and they give food in spite of love for it to the needy, the orphan, and the captive." {Al-Insān || Verse 6} • Provide Iftar – As the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever feeds a person breaking his fast will earn the same reward as him, without anything being lessened from the reward of the fasting person." {At-Tirmidhi #807} • Support orphans – The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this,” while holding two fingers together. {Al-Bukhārī #5659} • Smile! – Even a smile is considered an act of generosity as the Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned: "Smiling in the face of your brother is your charity." {al-Tirmidhi‌ #1956} In conclusion, we should not consider any act of charity to be meager, as what really matters is our sincerity in giving, not its quantity, ALLĀH said: لَن یَنَالَ ٱللَّهَ لُحُومُهَا وَلَا دِمَاۤؤُهَا وَلَـٰكِن یَنَالُهُ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ مِنكُمۡ Their meat will not reach ALLĀH, nor will their blood, but what reaches HIM is piety from you. {Al-Hajj || Verse 37} Hasan al-Basri said, "The intention has a further reach than the deeds." {Kitab az-Zuhd of Imam Ahmad #1626} May ALLĀH enable us to reach the blessed month of Ramadān and grant us the ability to maximize our rewards during it. @alBaseeroh *AD DA'WATUL ISLAMIYYAH CHANNEL* https://chat.whatsapp.com/JsIL1BTUUgXLoSz4YdcG9q
